malcapuya and banana island + firedancing!

starting off the day with a beautiful, blue view.

We headed to Malcapuya and Banana Island on our third day. The beaches were beautiful but Malcapuya's water was too shallow. Ang layo layo mo na sa shore hanggang tuhod pa rin ang tubig. Banana Island, on the other hand, just surprises you with its water's sudden deepth. Dito, ilang hakbang pa lang, magugulat ka kasi lubog ka na agad.

Haha. Kala mo naman swimming talaga sa beach yung habol ko eh di naman ako marunong lumangoy. :P

But basically, this day was "inuman" day. We bought bottles of The Bar with us and drank on both beaches. (Oh and for the record - I HATE the taste of The Bar Silver. I hate it with a passion. It just makes me wanna go bleeeech. *arte ko lang*) Hmmm... Drinking on beaches - i'ts kind of our thing. We actually once spent two days on a beach in Batangas but didn't get to take a dip in the shore at all! Pano kasi, puro pictorial at inom ang inatupag. We woke up the following morning with hangovers and just enough time for breakfast and quick showers before leaving the beach. Haha.

Anyway, I'm getting off the topic here. At both Malcapuya and Banana Island, we DID dip in the water from time to time. There were lots of fishes swimming about in both beaches so we had another awesome day feeding fishes in the sea. Parang gusto ko na tuloy magkaroon ng sarili kong pool-sized aquarium. Chos.

We decided not to go to Banol Beach. Sayang naman ang 100 pesos each na entrance kung magiinom din lang naman kami dun. Plus, the sky was getting a bit threatening. Ayun nga, umulan ng slight nung pabalik na kami sa town. Not for long, though.

Once we got back at Ralph's we freshened up and headed to Kawayanan for dinner. Food was good, wasn't too pricey, and there was this gwapong waiter who was kind enough to give me my cellphone back after we transferred to a different kubo (I left it at our first kubo).

We also watched some firedancing and bands playing tribal music in front of the Gateway Hotel before retiring to sleep. The performers offered free tribal lessons and passed drums out to the audience but they were speaking in Filipino whereas most of those that they've handed out the drums to were foreigners so I kept on wondering if they understood what the performers were saying..

That about sums up our third day in Coron. And now..... Pic spamming! Enjoy! :P
