July 11: We left NAIA Terminal 3 in Manila at exactly 12:15pm (via Cebu Pacific). After an hour and approximately 20 minutes we arrived at Francisco B. Reyes Airport in Busuanga. We were fetched by our tour guide named Ms. Len and had a van ride (which is a part of our tour package) for an hour going to Coron town.

Maquinit Hot Spring
In Maquinit, your skin toning begins. With its 40 degree Celsius water temperature,
a gradual dip into a huge pool is considered therapeutic.

July 12: We woke up at 5:45am to witness the sunrise and prepare for our second full day tour (8:00 am-4:30pm). :-)

After an hour and a half of boat ride..we finally arrived at
Malcapuya Island (just click for another blog story) |

| Be brave enough to climb up and down. It took 20 minutes until we arrived at the lake. |

The Barracuda Lake
With maximum depth of around a 100 feet and visibility of 5-30 meters.
The lake got its name because of a Barracuda skeleton recovered within its waters. Actually until now, the Barracuda inhabits the lake and there's a possibility that you'll encounter them. There is a group of divers at this moment and they encountered a big barracuda down under but they said it suddenly changes direction. Hala!
It's quite creepy. But since I have my life vest and snorkeling gear I'd like to see how it looks like under. (Looks like something out of Avatar. Hehe!)

July 13: AMAZING RACE. Our last day tour will starts at 6:00am until 11:00am. Then we will fly back to Manila at 1:40pm (boarding time). Yes we can! :-)

| Beautiful marine life |
 |
| It's already 12:35pm. But we still managed to take this picture. So cool. Haha! After this shot we ran through the airport's entrance. Oops, they checked our luggage manually. Good thing, there's no line of passengers (aside from us) through the check-in counter. No need to worry..we're checked-in at approximately 12:55pm (45 minutes before our boarding time) :-) |
