Coron Again - Aug. 24, 2007 (FRI)

September 13, 2007

Here I am again going to Coron Palawan. Silly as it may seems, but the main reason for going here is because I have a new digicam and I want to practice shooting some new settings. And since Coron is easily accessible and have a cheap fare, I decided to go Coron again….

Here's my intro… at the superferry terminal at Pier 15…

Here the superferry ship, MV Our Lady Of Medjugorje (OLOM)…

Inside MV OLOM… well, I think this is the least nice ship of superferry…

Here's the view of Manila as seen from MV OLOM while docked in Manila Bay…

And because of so many cargo vehicles, our departure was delayed from 6pm etd to 10pm etd. Instead of being angry and frustrated, I experiment some night shots while at the ship…

I slept that Friday night in the superferry beds at around 10pm, the ship still not departing. When I woke up, we were at Apo Reef area. I know this place because I was here last May this year 2007…

When the ship is about to reach the northern part of Busuanga Island, we saw some dolphins passing by…. by the way, the wave of the sea was suprisingly very calm…

This is my fourth here in Coron. And rarely I see the approach of the ship to Coron because usually the ships approaches Coron at dawn while it is still very dark. However, here's my first sight and my first shot of the approach…

And here's the Coron Pier… Just walk outside the pier gate and ride the tricycle from there (Fare: P10)… Do not ride the tricycle inside the Pier gate, the fare there is much higher…

I first went to Seadive Resort, but it was closed due to some givernment permit issues. So I looked around, and the lodging inns are full. Luckily for me, through some contacts there, I was able to find a good lodging place. It was a residential room on a stilt actually…. The toilet is outside the room but nearby… Since I am solo, I got it for P250 per night. They usually rent it for P300 per night. This is located in front of Sea Coral Lodge…

The view around my lodging….

I was able to settle in this room at around 1 pm already. So this ends my Day 1 of my Coron Again Trip.
