Island Hopping and Snorkling

Firts, we gathered in front of Royal Park Hotel and wait for the boat. Call time - 9:00am. We went there at around 9:30am. Hahaha!!! I am with our PIC (the Boss) so it doesn't matter. But we got off to the boat at around 10:00am (not because it is late - Lennart was).


Side Story:

Lennart is one of the first to rise up on that morning. He needs to because he has to buy some souvenirs for his family and he needs to give it to his acquaintance who happens to be here and whom I think will be leaving early that day (not sure). He told us that the reason why he's late was because he thought that the boat will pick us somewhere and that Royal Park was just a meeting place and not where we will be getting on the boat. He told us that he was already waiting for us for quite some time now in another boat station. He was already calling me on my phone unfortunately I didn't brought it with me.

So we start the hop. We first tour the front beach towards shangri'la resort then to Puca Beach, Ilig-iligan beach, Bulabog and then Tambisaan. We stopped in Tambisaan. This is the first snorkling site in front of crocodile island.

I already experienced snorkling twice - first with you and then second without you and you know and your not happy and so it started. In the first two experience, we did not bring any food for the fish. This time we did. It was really different. There were too many fish now. All of them gather in front of your face to eat the food you brought. Hahaha!!! So cool!!! Unfortunately, we have no underwater camera. That is why I intend to do it again with YOU with an underwater camera...and with YOU!!!

We spent almost an hour snorkling before all of us was starving. We prepared for this Eat-All-You can lunch. We did not take any breakfast. I was even unable to take dinner the night before.

The foods: (Not much) Veggies, Pork and Chicken Barbeque, Grilled Bangus, Shrimps plus watermelon and banana. I had everything except for the veggies.

And then we set off to another island...Crystal Cove.

At Crystal Cove:

Here you have to pay 150 per person for the entrance fee. Expensive but maybe worth it. There are many sheds, kind of huts for picnics. I think that there are even rooms if you wish to stay for the night. There were two caves where you can swim. It was really cool. I think I have pics of it. I'll just ask manang Angie to share it with us. Hehehe!!!

There were two more snorkling sites after crystal cove but it is just like the first one. No! Less Fish because we no longer have breads as fish foods. The second site has more sea urchins and the third site has blue starfish.

I think that the boatmen are tired enough and wants the tour to stop that is why they frightened us saying that they spotted a seasnake at the third snorkling site. So in more or less than 15 minutes we're off again to our drop off site which is puca beach - to our own kubo where our night party will be held.
