Day1: The moment that we arrived at the airport, Ms. Linda Lopez, our tour guide, welcome us with delight!
Then head to Marco Polo Hotel to check into our rooms..
Me and my hubby has a separate room with the rest of the group..
Oh by the way, we were with my mom & dad with my mom’s office mates but we had our own expenses during the entire trip. Oh there you go, they were calling us the “Honeymooners” lol
So there, had our room on the 14th floor where we got to see the pool.. and it was awesome..
very relaxing!! Didn’t spend too much time on our room, since there’s an Itinerary. Then, we hurriedly went to the lobby to meet the group, and we’re heading to The Crocodile Farm, they we’re so scary!! Especially “Pangil” the biggest crocodile in Davao, he was 80 years old.. lol
a bit old, but still terrifying.. Got to see lotsa birds, and even feed them.. weeeehh..
Then after we roam around the farm, at around 5:30 gotta watch Davao’s cultural show, hahaha
poor me,wasn’t able to watch the whole show, blame me!! I SLEPT!! haha sorrrrryyy!! was really sleepy that time, then we transferred into a different location to watch their Fire Dance! It was awesome!! reallyyyy!!! Thinking it was really dangerous, but still they manage to give us a great time watching them..
Then ate at The Riverside Restaurant, they served us with lotsa EXOTIC FOODS!!! waaaahhh oh God!! I didn’t even know i ate an OSTRICH!! haha it tastes like grilled pork!! waaaahhh then, there’s this one thing that made me vomit!! EATING sizzling CROCODILE!! waaaahhh is this revenge or what? lol
the moment i knew it, i just finished swallowing it!! darn!! One more thing!! had Dragon fruit shake, it was totally yummy!!
Then head back to the hotel and have some rest..
but before going to our room, my mom, hubby and i went to the pool, wherein there’s a pool bar, had some drinks and swim a bit..
had our body massaged.. OMG!! the spa was really amazing!! so relaxing!!
then finally, dropped my mom on their room, and finally had our bonding time!! watched PBB double up, but was really sleepy and again end up sleeping while waiting for the eviction night! lol
And there goes our first day..
Day 2: Woke up at around 6 in the morning, had breakfast didn’t enjoy the food that much its because we’re kinda late haha
had to be at the lobby by 8am.. lol was like, 7:30 that we’re just having our breakfast.. lol haha then, finally meet up with the rest of the group and went to San Pedro Cathedral, Tita Lin said that if it’s your first time to visit a church u we’re given three wishes..
and we did.. prayed real hard while holding each others hand..*sweet*
then, dropped by the famous DURIAN FACTORY!! WAAAHHH soooo smelly!! lol
i really don’t eat durian, because of the smell.. haha but YES! i did eat!!
durian candies, fresh durian and plus DURIAN ICE CANDY AND DURIAN ICE CREAM!! yumyum!! haha lol
It was indeed FUN!! Sometimes, all u have to do is break your own rules to have that SATISFACTORY FEELING!! Then, went straight to Eden Mountain Resort, oh gawd 2 hours of travel makes me so sleepy!! haha lol
had to travel that long since the place was way up in the mountain!! had lunch at their resto, the food was indeed so yummy!!
really!! then had our trip for the entire resort! It’s really amazing!! a real haven! Then, after the tour there we go again, travel back in the fields and head to The Philippine Eagle Center where we had to meet PAGASA, BAYANI, ALING NATY etc.. Meet up with our National Bird!! Their story was really touching! Really spectacular how they breed and how they multiply! Got the history behind PAGASA’s name, it was 8 years that not a single eagle lived, not even those with artificially inseminate eggs developed a fully grown eagle, but there’s PAGASA! a real miracle!! so that’s it!
another FYI, that except from doves, they are the only specie that is MONOGAMOUS plus, they are the only bird that could fly high, as high as that they can soar above the storm!! yes!! indeed amazing!!
then had dinner at Jack’s Ridge Resto-Bar, an over looking resto, I’ve tasted the most delicious fish i could ever ate!! haha lol
craving now for BLUE MARLIN! YUMYUM!! sauteed with butter and garlic!! yummmy!!!! Finally had to rest!! since tomorrow’s gonna be a very tiring day!!
