Mindanao Tour (Day 1: Samal Island)

outside Davao International Airport

OMG is all I can say!

I don't know how to swim and yet I tried their Giant Water Slide. Thinking about it now makes me shiver!

Brave souls like her tried the Giant Slide for the nth time!

 looking at it takes my breath away not because of fun but because of fear!

 Diving? Me? No way!

                                    When we came at Punta del Sol, we were disappointed because

the shore was dirty. The manager asked their helper to pick up all the litter that 

 The house of Hilario Camino (Moncado) Del Prado (1898-1956)  aka White House. It looks creepy with all the black and white pictures in it. People also said that the Moncados are the founder of a religious cult in Samal...
                                                 

                                                             Monfort Bat Sanctuary

The Monfort Bat Cave was recognized by the Guiness World Records as the largest colony of fruit bats in the world by having 1.8 million Geoffrey’s Rousette Fruit Bats.

We saw Ivan and James @ Maxima!

I haven't been in Mindanao and it was a great time to travel there because Zest Air had a sale! *Yipeee* The round trip cost P500.

We arrive at the old terminal at 02:00 am because ETD was 04:00. What would I expect? The flight was 2 hours late!

We arrive at Davao International Airport around 7 AM and decided to take pictures before looking for a taxi. We saw the giant Durian just outside.

We look for a taxi and the driver said it's a long ride going to Samal. He said he could take us to the Sta. Ana Wharf where we could ride a bus and roro. We went to nearest Jollibee to have breakfast before going to Sta. Ana Wharf. The driver said we'd pay P400 because it was far. We agreed and realized it was only 20 minutes away! Don't be fooled by those drivers!
