Our 3rd
day in Coron greeted us with sunshine! Oh yeah! It’s not raining! Again, God
has listened and granted my prayers! :D
We met at
the Lobby exactly 7AM to go to Lolo Nonoy’s. We decided to have our breakfast
there because it’s cheaper and servings were good compared to R2R. We didn’t
bother to hail a trike since it’s not that far.
We were the
second group of customers who came in Lolo Nonoy’s. Almost all of us ordered
danggit set meal. Unfortunately, because the staff of Lolo Nonoy’s served too
long, and our tour guide was already picking us up, we decided to just bring
the food to the boat. Good thing, they allow us to take out our order. Since
the tricycle driver was still waiting from us outside, we just let him
accompany us to the port. Again, we were charged for this ride. But this time,
I asked him if how much. He said it was Php 8. This was the time we realized
that we paid too much for our Day 2 tricycle ride. Tsk tsk. Well anyways, past
is past. Heheehe. I just thought that the extra fare he charged us would be a
big help for his family.
At
8:30AM, we were on our way to Malcapuya Island. Travel time from Coron port to
Malcapuya was 1 and half hour. Since travel time is too long, we took this
opportunity for some more cam whoring!

The boat slowed down in some part of the sea. We
thought we were already in Malcapuya because the sea was already too shallow.
We were picture taking to the max because it was really beautiful. But our
boatmen told us that we are not yet there! That made me excited about
Malcapuya. We were not yet there but we already saw gorgeous view.

| clear waters |
After 20 minutes more, we arrived at Malcapuya Island.
At first I was disappointed because the sand was full of stones. But guess
what, it was just the docking area! Hahaha. We docked at the back side of
Malcapuya. While walking, white sand was already waving at us! We hurried,
fixed our things, put on our sunblocks then explored the island!

There was this cliff that could let us see the sea. Of
course we did not let this passed. Picture galore again. Hehehe
 |
| how can we go there? |

It was also a good place to take pictures and relax at
the end part of the island, near and below the cliff. This was the time I had
the guts to remove my top and show my sexy body! Woot woot! This is my blog
right? So please just agree with me. Hehehe. this is where BF also met his new found friend! Too bad he can't take it home. hohoho

| sexy back! |

You can actually stay here for overnight. There were
kubo’s that could accommodate tourists who likes to explore the island at
night. I just don’t know if how much.

After too much cam whoring, lunch was ready.

| our sumptuous lunch |
After lunch,
I talked to our tour guide and asked them if we can go to Banana Island then
Bulog Island because I really want to see the sandbar. I saw the hesitation in
the eyes of our tour guide. She then told us that we will just pass by Banana
Island then we will proceed and docked to Bulog Island. I agreed because I
thought she meant we would still go to Banana island but will not stay that
long. And also, according to our itinerary, we will go to Banana Island. It was
included in the package and we paid for it. But lo and behold! We literally
passed by Banana island! They just pointed to us the island and we just looked
at it from afar. I really got disappointed but did not argue anymore. I just go
with the flow. I didn’t even had a shot of Banana island L
We
docked at Bulog Island. It was just a small island but with white sand. There
was also a cliff so of course we took some pictures. Sadly, the sandbar was
nowhere to be seen because it was high tide.

There’s also a cliff in this island, but this is way
too steep compared to the one in Malcapuya. From here, you can see the island
that was bought by Boracay and currently they are developing it. I think it
would be luxurious type of resort it will be.
 |
| can you see the resort there? |
Exactly 3PM,
we boarded again to our boat. We will now be going back to the town. But before
that, we will go to Twin Peaks. According to our tour guide, it was a
snorkeling site also.
At 4:30PM,
we were already in Twin Peaks. It was called Twin Peaks because there were two
rock formations of the same size and same appearance. But the two rock
formations were far from where we docked. Actually we didn’t dock; we just stopped
in the middle of the sea! I was hesitant because the waves were big and the sea
was dark. Meaning it would be so deep! I tried to snorkel and see what is
beneath our boat. And guess what, I didn’t see anything! It was pure black! I
was really afraid. My imagination got into me.
We
need to swim near the peaks to see the beautiful corals below. They provided
ropes for us to hold. It was really beautiful underneath but because of the
waves, we didn’t have the chance to get nearer to the peaks. Instead, we just
went back the boat and took time for some titanic-inspired picture taking.
hehehehe

We were back
in the hotel before 6PM. As usual, we just took a bath and off we went to
explore the town again. This time, we agreed to buy some souvenirs. There was
this famous souvenir shop in Coron and I had read about it somewhere. The name
of the shop? It’s Everly Garden Souvenir Shop.
Everly
Garden Souvenir Shop is just 10 minutes away from R2R. From the hotel and once
on the road, just go to your right and walk continuously, then you will see the
shop on your left. It was already closed when we went there around 7PM.
Luckily, they were kind enough to open it for us. And by the way, they actually
have a restaurant.

| shirts |
I bought 31
keychains, 4 coin purses and a shirt. Actually, BF and I bought the same shirt.
The keychains were for my team mates in office and the 4 coin purses were for
my four closest colleagues. Their coin purses cost Php 35 each then their key
chains ranges from Php 25-40. Shirts prices will be depending on the color and
the size. Mine was small and costs Php175 (if I remember it right).
The owner, I
think her name is Mrs. Everly is kind of aloof to people. When we were paying
for our souvenirs, we didn’t received even a single glance from her. Anyways,
probably she was too busy watching the TV that time. Hehehe
We wanted to
buy some kasuy but it was already past 7PM. Good thing, the tricycle driver we
asked said that the kasuy shop was still open by this time. It usually closes
late in the evening due to the demand of their customers. This kasuy shop is
known to many since Ms. Kris Aquino already featured this shop and the owner to
her show Kris TV. The name of the Shop is Coron Harvest.
Do
not attempt to just walk going to this place, because it’s far from the market.
Better ride a trike. It would just cost you Php10 one-way. Also, asked your
trike driver to just wait for you outside while buying kasuy because I think
it’s hard to hail a trike from Coron Harvest.

I love this
lady! She was so welcoming and accommodating. Even though she was already
featured in the TV, she remains humble. For a short period of time that we were
able to talk to her, I felt her sincerity and love for her craft. And because
of that, her kasuy is so delicious and addicting! BF loves the bandi kasuy! We
bought a lot of kasuy from them. And by the way, before you buy, they will
provide you a sample or a free taste so you will not have a doubt buying from
them.
You should
buy kasoy from this shop ONLY. DO NOT buy from the market or anywhere else in
Coron. Just buy in Coron Harvest.
After buying
lots of Kasuy, we then went back to the town. This time, we wanted to give Bistro
Coron a chance to redeem itself from ignoring us on our 2nd night.
And it was recommended by my officemates so why not give it a try right?
There
were lesser customers when we arrived that’s why we were seated immediately and
accommodated by the waitress. I ordered carbonara and BF ordered 10 pcs of
baked mussels with rice. Dining here is a bit pricey but you get what you pay
for! They really served delicious meals with big servings. My carbonara is good
for two-three people. I wasn’t able to eat the meal by myself because it was
too many for my tummy. Ambiance is nice for chilling-out because they have a
bar. The resto is not that big so they might want to consider getting a bigger
space to accommodate more customers. You must also try their pizza. It’s
delicious and flavors were unique! I think this is their specialty.

We call it a day around 9:30PM. We slept early because
BF and I plan to roam around the market on our last day in Coron. This day was not so tiring yet the satisfaction with regards to the islands was overwhelming. I wish we could stay longer.
