A Change of Scenery: Coron, Palawan - Day 3

On our third day we were getting ready to leave for Manila. Therese woke up early to go to the public market to buy some fresh seafood to bring home. Unfortunately I wasn't able to come because of my burned skin. Lol. It was the first time for me so I didn't know how painful it could get. Below are the pics for our travel home. Also below you will find information about our tours and accommodations in case you would like to contact them :).

This is what you get when you mistook sunblock lotion with mosquito repellant lotion and swim under the sun at noon time! Lol.

A Change of Scenery: Coron, Palawan - Day 2 Part 2

After our trip to Kayangan Lake our next stops were Twin Peaks Reef, Banol Beach, Twin Lagoon and Maquinit Hot Springs. Below you see their pictures. I would tell you now I tried my best to capture them as they were through may cam but these places are so much more beautiful in person. Enjoy!

Twin Peaks Reef

Leaving Kayangan lake and on our way to Twin Peaks Reef

our boat stopped and we realize we've arrived already

our driver is tying our boat to the other boats that are parked as well

Ms. Cherry (our tour guide) feeding the fishes

so many fishies!

clear waters and fishies

Ms. Cherry accompanying me for snorkeling around the reef. Too bad I don't have underwater cam

Banol Beach

Leaving Twin Peaks and on our way to rest at Banol Beach for lunch

Banol Beach in view

Clear shallow waters

Lovely sight

White sand and clear water!

Going down

no words to describe

just lovely

And we're the only people in this part. so nice!

love to swim again just by looking at it

clear waters

our little piece of paradise

a couch potato under the rocks

a mermaid?!

you can go kayaking after lunch and explore the rock formations on the islands. I was a bit surprised nobody telling me not to go too far. We're really free to go anywhere.

leaving Banol Beach

Twin Lagoon

On our way to Twin Lagoon

more rock formations

a different kind of water

entrance to the lagoon

walkway to the entrance

there's the very small entrance

there it is

here magnified. you see the stairs? either you go up through a very narrow path between the rocks or you go swim under the stairs. the water is too high for us to swim safely underneath so we went through the rocks. I don't think a very big person would fit there but we all went through okay. whew! love these adventures

clear waters

going to the walkway

and here we are right after we went through the rocks. water is cold underneath and warm on top. weird feeling. there's something spiritual about the place which makes it amazing

Maquinit Hot Springs

On our way to Maquinit Hot Springs. Starting to have overcast skies

we can see the mangrove from here

mangrove up close

entrance to the springs

getting closer

going up the entrance

the view at the entrance. the springs located way over there

walkway to the springs. i really like this walkway

benches are available around the spring

view from the bench

that's where the hot water is coming from and that's coming from the top of the mountain

and they're going out to the mangroves

flowing water

peaceful hot spring

great for relaxation or if you have aching muscles. the water is really quite hot. I had to go in and out of the water

At the Bistro Coron back in Coron town

Tenderloin steak cooked to perfection
