Suroy sa Mindanao

Enjoy and full of adventures ang Mindanao trip ko with Sheila and Kuya Don this holiday season... =)
Day 1 (Dec 27) Davao City

We met up with Barbs, Ate Tine and Yan at Marfori Heights near Barbs office. Then dinner at the famous Penong's where you need to wait for a table since they have lots of customers and serves unlimited rice. When you want to call the waiter's attention, just clap your hands twice. Last stop was at People's Park with plenty of big sculptures made by Kublai Millan. We stayed at Microtel Inn & Suites.


Day 2 (Dec 28) Scuba Diving at Davao City

It was our first time to try scuba diving at Talikod Island in Davao. Our instructor was "Potpot" from the Carabao Dive Center. I'm so glad that I now have a picture with "Nemo" under the sea...
Day 3 (Dec 29) Cagayan de Oro City
By midnight we travelled to CDO and arrived there by 6am. Together with my JVP batchmates, we went White Water Rafting (courtesy of Kagay). It was indeed an adrenaline rush through the strong rapids! Afterwards, we tried walking through the Sky Bridge and Zip Line.
We had dinner at Butcher's Best together with Memel and had a coffee break at Bo's Coffee to meet up with Lloyd, Aena and Ria. We stayed at Phil's place to spend the night for rest and sleep.

Day 4 (Dec 30) Camiguin island
We headed to the White Island Beach for sunbathing, swimming and photo-ops. We also visited the Walkway, Sunken Cemetery, Old Ruins and Katibawasan Falls. Lunch at Coron, coron and dinner at Eleonor's. We stayed at the Enigmata Tree House wherein their art director was also Kublai Millan. They have art-decorated rooms and sculpture garden. The place was artistically mesmerizing!


Day 5 (Dec 31) Butuan City
We went to Butuan to visit Ate Tzi (my beloved formstaff) and to spend the New Year with her together with Ate Reins, Phil and Ian. We toured the city and ate our dinner (of barbecue and "puso" or cooked rice packed in a banana leaf) at the 2nd longest cable bridge in Mindanao. We watched the fireworks by the riverside.


Last Day (Jan 1) Flight back to Manila
Sadly, our "suroy" had to end this day. So off we flew back to Manila via Cebu Pacific and came home with lots of memories and souvenirs from our Mindanao trip.
