☼ Day 01 ☼
Finally natuloy na din ang ang first ever outing ng Amazing friends. Nakakalungkot lang na hindi kami kumpleto. Sa apartment na namin sa boni avenue natulog sina Cat, Leo and Othan. 9am pa yung flight namin pero by 5am gising na kami. Hindi naman halatang excited kami di ba? Haha. Dahil maaga nga kami nagising wala pa yatang 7am nasa airport na kami. Hinintay pa namin sa labas yung dalawang kasama namin na sa Taguig manggaling. Hindi pa open yung check in counter kasi nga maaga kami dumating. Dahil naiinip na si Jay lagi siya nagchecheck kung bukas na pero mali pala yun tinitignan niya na flight buti na lang naisipin ko tignan dahil almost 8am na pero hindi pa din open yung counter. Ayun, open na pala. Syempre since 1st time nung iba sa amin picture taking muna sa loob ng airport dahil 8:30 pa naman yung boarding time.
We arrived in Busuanga by 10:30am. This is my 2nd time in Coron so medyo in-charge ako with bookings. I have pre-arranged tours and accomodation c/o Coron Wonders kaya paglabas namin hinanap na agad namin sasalubong sa amin. Ayun nakita naman agad namin "Welcome Anna Mae Avencula & co. Hahaha. Mali yung surname kaya niloloko tuloy nila ako Ädvincula kasi dapat yun. Maliwanag naman yung binigay ko na name dahil yun din naman ang email address na gamit ko to contact them pero mali pa din yung name.
Hindi kami agad nasalubong ni Ms. Rhea from Coron Wonders na siyang magiging tour guide namin dahil nasa island tour pa daw at pabalik pa lang. Nagcheck in muna kami sa Princess of Coron. Nony room yung pinareserve namin. Malaki yung room super nagustuhan talaga namin. Kanya kanyang pictorial agad. Haha.

Since gutom na kami dahil almost 12nn na. Naghanap muna kami ng makakainan but since gutom na talaga kami dun ko na lang sila inaya sa Kawayanan Grill na nakainan ko na din from my 1st visit in Coron.
Since 3pm pa naman ang start ng tour we decided na matulog muna kasi hindi naman kami nakatulog na maayos kagabi plus maaga din kami gumising.
By 3:30pm sinundo na kami ni Ms. Wheng from Coron Wonders para sa town tour. Para sa akin there's nothing much to see sa town aside from the Mt. Tapyas and Maquinit Hotspring.
Dimirecho kami souveneir shops and cashew factory nung 1st day. Si Ms. Rhea muna yung nagpahiram ng pera sa amin since hindi namin alam na didirecho kami dun after ng coron loop tour. Ginabi na kasi kami nung 1st day sa tour sa mt. tapyas dahil hinitay talaga namin magsunset kaya hindi na kami nakadaan sa souveneir shops. Medyo pricey yung mga souveneirs nila dun compared sa Puerto Prinsesa.
Sa Lolo Nonoys sana kami maliligo kaya lang late na kami natapos makapaligo lahat kaya hindi namin naabutan na bukas ang Lolo Nonoy's kaya sa Bistro-Coron kami bumagsak. Wala naman special sa food dito tapos medyo pricey pa kaya lang wala na din talaga kami choice kasi yun na lang naabutan namin bukas na kainan.
Uwian na. Over all naging masaya naman kami sa trip namin. Maigsi lang siya kasi pinilit lang talaga namin magbonding. Matagal tagal na din kasi yung last time na nagkita kita kami magbabarkada. Thanks to Ms. Rhea of Coron Wonders. Super alaga niya kami nung nandun kami. Hindi ako nagkamali sa pagbook sa kanila ng tours. Siya pa din ang kukunin namin on our next trip sa Coron. Dami pang pwedeng puntahan. :D
