Extended Vacay in Coron, Palawan August 2019

A year ago, we got stranded in Coron, Palawan making it one of our most memorable trips.

When choosing a destination dito sa Pinas, mas prefer ko yung less tourist-y na lugar. Coron is obviously one of the most popular destination dito sa atin.

But I really want to go to Black Island so pinush namin. Unfortunately, pag dating namin sa Coron to make arrangements sa travel agency, hindi allowed ang open sea travel, which include boat ride (of roughly 45 minutes to an hour) to Black Island or Malajon Island. Okay fine, maybe next time.

And as usual since a year ago na 'to, hindi ko na matandaan ang specifics. I'll try my best/ 

Cost

• Airfare roundtrip for 2 pax - PHP 2,761.20 (seat sale obviously)
• Coron Ultimate Tour and Calauit Tour for 2 pax joiner - roughly PHP 6,400 
• Accommodation - interesting, I can't find receipts. But according to the Internet it's about PHP 2400 a night. So we'll go with that for 2 nights... and the rest is our bonding with Agoda.

Itinerary - Expectation

Day 1 - Coron Town Tour

Day 2 - Calauit / Black Island Tour ♥

Itinerary - Reality

Day 1 - Paambon Coron Town Tour, slash me walking alone in nearby areas kasi super tired si Boss from graveyard shift 

Day 2 - Ultimate Tour

Day 3 - Calauit Safari and that beach I forgot the name coz I was so bummed di kami natuloy Black Island and felt robbed dahil di naman nabawasan bayad namin. 

Day 4 - Not Uwian - Day of emergency booking ng lodge etc. 

Day 5 - Still stranded, still rainy and our cash is running low. I bought a yellow raincoat.

Day 6 - Still here! I got my nails done because there's nothing much to do. Gale warning is still in place and seacrafts are advised against venturing out to sea. No flights in and out of Coron.

Day 7 - Acceptance is the key. More food trip in Coron. 

Day 8 - UWIAN!!! 

In depth kwento to follow.
