Sept 2011: CORON – Banana Island

January 29, 2012 Leave a comment

We woke up with a gloomy weather :( The sun is not up and we’re a bit paranoid (for our travel from one beach to another). But that didn’t stop us from experiencing Banana Island.

From Coron Town, it took us 2 hours just to go to Banana Island. Our boat ride was such a struggle. The waves are so high, it was very windy and rainy! :( You have no idea how scared I was, I kept praying non-stop. Hahaha! It was so windy that Mike’s fedora hat fell of the ocean and had to get back just to pick it up. Hahaha!

Siete Picados means Seven Islands.

Unfortunately, Matt didn’t brief us about Siete Picados. All we know is that, we are allowed to snorkel with school of colorful fish and feed them. Other than that, nothing. Hahaha.

The most beautiful lake I’ve ever seen my whole life. I am not kidding.

OK. So apparently, after a few hours of taking pictures underwater, our very reliable camera’s battery has finally rested. LOL

Whenever I say “Barracuda”, I always think of Heart’s song – Barracuda! <insert the instrumental part here> “Ooooh… Barracuda!”

 

OK. That sounds pointless. Enough with the endless blabbering. Let’s proceed.

Lunch at Banol Beach! Sobrang sakto that we are all really hungry! YAY! Seafood! Booyah! We spotted this nipa hut that we can actually stay rest and eat. So excited about the food. Kuya Ariel has been preparing our food while we were busy snorkeling at Twin Lagoon and Skeleton Wreck.  What would it be! Hmmm

10-20 minute travel from Skeleton Wreck.

If you are into scuba diving, Skeleton Wreck is for you! It would be so wonderful to go down there, no? If I am 5X richer, I would. Hay!

Nice limestone rocks. Heaven!

Third day is Island Hopping day! YAY! We’re too early at our meeting place that’s why we decided to kill time by touring to the Coron Town hall and buy bread for our food-fishing! Hihihi.

I must admit, the place was really clean and coron people are so friendly! :)

We’ve decided to have our first tour at Mt. Tapyas.  723 steps baby! :) It took us a while before we had our both feet stepped on top of Coron’s highest mountain! Breath-taking scenery. Such a wonderful place. We were advised to go there in sunset, but we are toooo itchy to try it out! Sorry na!

Can you see that? :) We are so going there!
