This is a cloudy day :( but it is also an advantage, at least I won't get a sunburn :) We have taken our breakfast on the Coron Village (part of our package deal; breakfast, lunch and snacks except on the first day); I ordered a danggit fish with egg; the danggit is not crispy and I wondered why, I just realized later that danggits here are not like tuyo (dried fish), hahaha! After breakfast, we prepared our suits for our tour and at around 9am the tour guide arrived and fetch us. We went to the seaport(?) and the boat is ready! Yeaah! Shipwreck and island tour!
First stop is in Istangen; Istangen is the name of the ship that sunk during the Japanese war here in the Philippines, we went to a island and I ask the tour guide what are we going to do on its seashore and they told us below that is the Istangen, hahaha!
From what I remember there are lots of sunken ships (during war) around Coron but there are only 2 out of 10 that can be seen while snorkeling and the others can only be seen if you are going on diving. You can see the sunken ship in spite of the rain and the water is clear and green! Snorkeled!
After Istangen, we went to Calambuyan Island; there, we had taken our lunch - tinola, porkchop, enseladang talong and adobong pusit, after taking our lunch we did some snorkeling again;
one of the tour guides assisted us, he swam bringing a lifevest and us clinging to that lifevest, hahaha!
After Calambuyan, we went to Coral Garden, as the name implies, there are lots of corals here, but unfortunately I didn't enjoy it much because it was raining while we are here, waaah! But I can still see the corals here! :D Snorkeling!
There are lots of large corals here!
Last stop for the day - Lusong Gunboat; another ship(? but why "Gunboat", lol) sunk during war time, still it was raining, but not heavy rain (ulanbon in tagalog, hehehe), what I like in this sunken ship is that you can step on it;
but they are not allowing to step to some parts of it because you can get wounded from it (its a metal, right???) :p
Returned to hotel :( took a bath on the hotel and ate dinner on the carinderia where we have taken lunch during our first day - pansit canton for 50php each, one order is actually good for two but it was cooked already so the other one was taken back to the hotel.... burp! Rest well!
