0730 – Woke up and packing. Walked
to the port. After shown the ticket to the lady that is at the desk and a big
umbrella under the hot sun, we waited at the terminal. At 8am, a lady called to
pay a terminal fee of PHP20/person which we don’t know that has this fee. Then
we were called to put our backpacks in a row to check. They were check by a
dog. Maybe just smell for the drug. After that we can walked to the ferry but
the lady took our printed ticket.
The ferry is a small ferry that the
seating place is opened-air. Our big backpacks were carried and put beneath the
seating place. After that we sit at a place, the ferry is departed. There is
not much people in this ferry which have a lot of empty seat. Then there were
people started to go to the empty seat and lying down and sleep. We didn’t have
place to lie down and sleep as we were sitting at a very crowded place. I just
sleep for a while in siting position, then watching the news, show and video
that I downloaded.

1200 - the lunch were served by
personal portion. After lunch, she started to feel sea sickness. Then we went
to the upper deck to see the view and relieve from the sea sickness. After
awhile, she felt quite well. The view along this route is amazing too
especially when approaching to the Coron islands.

1500 – Reached the Coron port.
After took the backpacks, we decided to walk to the booked hostel as the
tricycleman charge PHP40/person for the ride. After half hour walk, we reached
the guesthouse which is inside the mangrove swamp. We have to walk through a
wooden bridge to get in there.
1630 – Went to walk around the town
and find the cheap tour packages and also the drinking water as the guesthouse
didn’t provide any. At last, we booked our tour A package at Dream Travel and
Tour for PHP800/person as the lady said now is low season. I also got
discounted price for the Fins (PHP100)
and Mask + Snorkel (PHP100). This tour A include the famous Kayangan
Lake, beaches and some snorkelling place like Coral Garden. When registered and
wrote for the tour A, it was just two of us. After paid the fee, my girlfriend
found that this company review is very bad. We started worry but we prepared to
see how is tomorrow going to be.
1800 – Having dinner in a Chinese
restaurant which have Lomi soup. As I have flu today, I need some hot soup to
help to relieve my nose.
