I want to come to a point in my life that I won't buy things anymore, but buy plane tickets and the only thing that I want is to make enough money to be able to travel. I have been dreaming to be a citizen of the world so that I will not be ignorant or prejudice. I want to be able to immerse myself in every culture if given the opportunity.
A few months back Cebu Pacific Airline had a airfare sale and I took the chance and booked a ticket to paradise which is Coron in Palawan. This will be my fourth time in Coron, there is something about this place that keeps us coming back for more. I have blogged about Coron during our first few visits which I will list the links below. But this time around we were with our friends and my sister who are all first timers. It is also my reward to myself and partly my 30th birthday celebration as well.
For our third day itinerary we visited Banana Island and Malcapuya Island which are islands close to each other and can be reach by almost 2-hour boat ride from the port of Coron. Our third day was more on relaxing and less of the activities. The almost two hour boat ride to these islands can get a little boring and scary especially if the waves are strong, but once you see the island from afar, those feelings will immediately be replaced with excitement and awe.
Malcapuya Island
A couple more hours after our super yummy lunch at Banana Island, we transferred to our second and last destination for the day: Malcapuya Island. Malcapuya Island (my second favorite island in Coron) is just across Banana Island and is only a few minutes away.

There are no stores here except for this one selling only coconut, of course which we didn't let our stay here go without drinking coconut juice and eating coconut meat while we chill by the beach.

Remember I said that this day is more on relaxation and chill-out? Most of us decided to lay on the hammocks and catch a power nap. For me, while everybody else is taking their nap, I took photos as usual so I have a couple to post for my blog.
When we reached the far end of the beach the dog just stayed at the beach and looked over us while we snorkel. A few minutes later another dog came and they played with my friends. When it was time to go back to our cottage the two dogs escorted us back while they playfully jump at and bite each other. Dogs are really amazing creatures don’t you think?
At around 4:00pm our tour guide Ruth told us that it is time to go back to the town proper. We all felt kinda sad because it is our last night and we all thought we haven’t had enough of Coron.
Definitely no goodbyes to you Coron, just see you soon!
