Coron: Coron Wonders|Day 2

We were ready by 8:30 AM. There was a slight delay because we requested the day before to interchange our 2nd and 3rd day. Tatay Sergio accommodated our request without a hitch, but our boatmen,who also doubled as our tour guides, Kuya Dennis and Kuya Oliver were used to the usual Coron Loop-Malacapuya itinerary, so our boat was only fueled to go around Coron Loop.
They were quick to re-fuel though, so we were off to Malcapuya by 9:00 AM.

Malcapuya
Upon arriving at the Island, we were blessed with an hour of sunshine. The white sand beach was pristine, quiet and relaxing.






The resort staff (I'm assuming he was because he was wearing a Malcapuya Shirt) offered to take us at a good snorkeling site for a fee, how much would be depending ,and I quote, on the kindness of your heart.

I just lazed around the Island because they can't make me swim after I saw a jelly fish in the shallow waters...it was huge!
The resort staff approached us and introduced us to his 2 pet pigs, Willie (who enjoys a belly rub) and Shalani, and his dog, Sandra.

Poised chicken...:)
Always ready for a solo shot...
We went up the island's viewing deck before heading back to our boat to go to Banana Island.

View from the deck.



Banana Island
We roamed around the Island for 15 minutes before it started raining. 





Here comes the rain.
Even with the rain though, I find Banana Island's charm soothing and appealing.

We had our lunch while waiting for the rain to stop.
I loved the fresh seaweed dish!

 We again strolled around the Island after lunch.

One of the Cabana's that the resort is renting out for longer stays.
Malaroyroy/Bulog2 Island.
Our final stop was the Malaroyroy/Bulog2 Island.

We spent most of our time here taking pictures and collecting some shells.

Collecting some shells...
 Kuya Oliver and Kuya Dennis were experts in finding live shells.


There were larger ones, but those were secreting mucus like fluids when taken out of the water.
I thought we were better off with the unoccupied ones. :)
Cabanas are being built for a soon to open high end island resort
It was starting to rain again so we decided to head back to town. Merienda was served on our way back.
Our rainy way back.

Since we were back early, we decided to go back to the souvenir shop before retiring for the day.
