Coron, Palawan Adventure

Dry and hot season is here. I must admit I love this season. I love sun, beaches, cold desserts especially halo-halo, cotton shorts, summer dresses, coral lipstick, flip flops, and all associated with this weather. This is also the time for me to take on some projects like sewing pillow cases, sometimes bed sheets and curtains, baking and trying new recipes. Kids are off from school in this season and I have my time to spare.

Only two months to go and school vacation is here. Yey! I'm listing which project I'm going to prioritize. Meanwhile, I'm reminiscing our Palawan tour last 2012. Since I was not active blogging that year I'm sharing some of my experiences and photos from that wonderful trip.

A welcoming sight. Don't you think?

Travel destination was Coron, Palawan. From Manila we had a flight to Busuanga then a boat ride to El Rio y Mar Resort. Settled for a while in our native nipa hut then had a wonderful lunch. I can still taste my dessert of leche flan with macapuno. Superb!



The place and service were good. One can go snorkeling just beside their bar. Bring some bread or even cooked rice and fishes will go gaga with you. Lol.



You can also arrange with the resort for some tours, like going to Club Paradise (another island resort), island hopping, go to lagoons or go to Calauit Safari .

Calauit Island is an island in the north-western coast of Busuanga,Palawan. It was declared as wildlife sanctuary in 1970s. In some days trip to the island is smooth and in some just like what we experienced, the sea was real rough. It took us two and a half hours boat ride to reach the sanctuary. It was literally wild and wet. :-))

One will forget the rough ride though when he/she saw the gentle giraffes and the elusive zebras. Feeding Maylen, Athena and the other giraffes was simply amazing.

This trip was one of our best. It's bonding with family and nature. Next in the bucket list is El Nido also in Palawan. Will it be this season? I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

What's on your bucket list this summer?
