A traveler's haven
 
After our coron tour last 2010, Its always been a wish to visit coron again because i really fell in love with its enchanted view.

By this time, visiting the place was one of my priceless moment because we are celebrating papa's birthday. Tagjo and Jessa flew from CDO just to be with us and I'm rely thankful that they find ways and give some of their time for the celebration.
We took the morning flight to Busuanga and arrange our stay at Darayonan Lodge (www.darayonanlodge.com). We choose the same place to stay in because we were satisfied with their services the last time we went there. When we are out of the airport, we saw our name on the placard made by Darayonan welcoming us and a staff approached us and lead us to our transfers. It took about 20mins from the airport to the Coron town. Upon arrival, they gave us a welcome drink and then we checked in. We decided to take our lunch before our coron loop.

Coron loop was composed of siete pecados, barracuda lake, kayangan lake and twin peaks.
In siete pecados, we are not allowed to fish feed, he government of coron prohibit tourists to feed the fish to bring back its natural habitat and not to just wait someone to feed the them. I was sad of it because it is where we can have a great fish feeding experience but somehow it was okay for bringing the fish to its habitat.

Kayangan lake was magical as ever. This time mama and papa didn't allow this moment to experience the picturesque of kayangan. We went up the hill and at the top is the best to take picture, it took 15 to 20mins walk to the lake. As usual Mosquitos are all around us, I forgot to bring insect repellant lotion but we got to managed the bites, lol. Thank God Coron is Malaria free.

It was high tide when we enter the barracuda lake, it was just me, Tagjo, Jessa and Willie went there. I just let them enjoy the swimming in a cold salt and fresh water. That made Coron so special with its enchanted gift that sorrounds the island.

I am also excited to visit the Maquinit Hot Spring because I wasn't able to visit the place the last time we went here. Hot and salty water, that makes it weird. Perfect for relaxtion.

We didn't miss the chance to visit Culion Island this time. As our history is concern, this place called as the leprosy colony back in 1901. This is  small island and isolated area just for lepers who need medical treatment but that was before, Today, Culion aim to be a leprosy-free island.

What can you see in Culion? definitely its clean seashore that made my  brother indulge the water just right at the  docking area. LoL. You will know more about the island and its people by visiting the museum, located near at the hospital. Museum was great, a must visit place when you are there. They still have the apparatuses and all that they used for lepers, lists of congregations who had medical missions, they also have their own monetary units that the government made just for Culion. Don't miss the to visit and offer your prayers to their beautiful and old church and enjoy the scenery near the bell tower. I really could say, my travel to Coron this time was extraordinary because of Culion.
