Trip to Coron, Palawan - Day 3

this is the 3rd day of our trip to coron, palawan. the first 2 days were awesome! when we thought we have seen it all, we're wrong! i think the places we visited this day were the best!

our first stop - the twin lagoon. from the name itself, expect 2 adjacent lagoons. we were supposed to go to this place the other day, but the high tide stopped us. one can see the 2nd lagoon by passing through a small door (under a rock), which would be covered by water when the tide is high.

the water was cold and very refreshing. we enjoyed swimming into the 2nd lagoon, where the place was very quiet and peaceful. one would enjoy his goggles and see the corals and fishes. unfortunately for us, we didn't have any underwater camera. we didn't get to take any picture in the 2nd lagoon.

it was around 10am when we started going to the banana island. they said the island's shape resembles a banana leaf (though i couldn't see it). upon stepping into the place, the owners would ask for an entrance fee of 200 pesos. the island has some cottages that tourists could rent. the waters were shallow and very good for snorkeling. the sand were white and fine. the beach didn't have much shade, so you would really feel the sun's heat if you decide to take a dip.

after eating our lunch and taking a rest in banana island, we went to its neiboring island - the malcapuya island. the banca docked at the back of the island, where it would be safer. we then walked some meters to reach the other end, where the white and fine sand were. as usual, the place was very quiet, very nature.

we rested in the tree house found in the beachfront. you would also fall asleep in the comfort of abaca-made wings. since it looked like we had nothing to do in the island but to enjoy its beauty, i and ozzie decided to explore the place, which proved to be a good idea. we went to the island's view deck and had a perfect view of the island - the turquoise blue and green water, the sand, the trees, just PERFECT! i could sit on the bench and wait for the sunset - the moment i love!

we left the island around 6pm with the memories and pictures of the islands in coron saved in our camera.
