ON OUR WAY TO CALAUIT SAFARI
 WE LEFT RALPH'S PENSIONNE AT AROUND 4AM AND HEADED TO THE SEAPORT.. THE 4 HOUR TRAVEL BECAME BEARABLE FOR WE HAD A GLIMPSE OF WHAT CORON HAS TO OFFER. I CAN'T HELP BUT ADMIRE WHAT I WAS SEEING..

CALAUIT SAFARI
OUR ENCOUNTER WITH THE GIRAFFES AND ZEBRAS WAS AWESOME.. NEVER MIND THE HEAT OF THE SUN.. THE CALAUIT SAFARI EXPERIENCE IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR CORON GETAWAY. :)

this photos we're taken on our way to black island.

BLACK ISLAND

i don't know why it's called black island well in fact the sand is powdery white. we had lunch here and then headed to a snorkeling spot after.

by the way, there's a mini cave at black island too..

This is the location of a shipwreck from ages ago.

Day 3 is the more picture friendly day.. too bad my camera fell into the water the previous day and the lens of the other camera got broken.. we're left with no choice but to rent an underwater camera for a thousand bucks.. Since coron is very picturesque and we have to swim into the deep blue see to appreciate it, we ended up thanking the owner of the camera for lending it to us.. :) i can't recall how many times the word "WOW" came out of my mouth.. really, coron is very majestic.
