This is a continuation of the first half of this Coron island-hopping tour. After lunch, the boat set off towards the next stop on the tour.

We were supposed to go to Barracuda Lake next but we couldn’t because of some “problem” there. So instead, the boat took us to the Twin Lagoon. The water here looked far clearer than Siete Picados and the skies were clearing up too. So I got ready to jump in.

Here’s a brief video:

The boat then just moved a few metres ahead to the second lagoon. It didn’t look drastically different, but I went in anyway!

When it was time to leave, the tour boat then rode to the final stop on this tour, CYC island.

Once we disembarked at Lualhati park, I headed straight to my room to freshen up and offload some of the contents of my bag.

When I got down, my legs were aching! I walked slowly because they were really stressed from climbing 700+ steps up and down. Once I got back to my room, I just lay in bed and gave my feet some rest for an hour or two.

I took a bath and later went out for dinner.

By the time I headed back to my room, the rains had reduced to a drizzle. This was my last night in Coron. Tomorrow afternoon I would fly back to Manila. Much like how El Nido capped off my 2011 journey across the Philippines, this year it was Coron that was the true highlight of my trip. I faced quite a few disappointments on this visit to the Philippines, but the Coron experience made this visit to the Philippines worth the while.

Anyway, back to Manila for now!
