Another dream come true - Coron, Palawan

Since this blog is a dream come true for me I would like to share another dream that just came true almost a year from now. You see I've been really wanting to visit Coron in Palawan, Philippines ever since I was in high school. Various plans were made to visit the place throughout the years but it just finally came true last October 2014. We booked the flight just a week after my birthday and I was really looking forward to it.

We flew with Philippine Airlines and arrived on a beautiful, sunny afternoon. The flight was quick and enjoyable. Upon arriving there, we were picked up by our hotel's kind staff. We stayed at Sophia's Garden Resort, a truly relaxing place at Coron. The garden was huge and very serene. We enjoyed having our breakfast at the gazebo and just chilling.  

Rooms at Sophia's Garden Resort are clean and really homey- a great place to rest after all the island hopping during the day!

Life in Coron is very peaceful. I miss waking up to this view very early at the morning. It's a great escape from the busy life in the metro. 

Island Hopping Day!

For our Coron escapade we visited 6 spectacular places: Siete Picados, Kayangan Lake, Banol beach, Floating Village, Twin Lagoon and Barracuda Lake.

Kayangan Lake was my favorite - even way back when I just saw it in photos. It's the cleanest lake in Asia. It's fun how you're able to see what's underneath because of the very clear waters.

We all had fun swimming at the pristine waters of Kayangan Lake. I've never seen such a beautiful place - truly God's amazing creation.

To reach Kayangan Lake we had to climb up hill and then downhill. I'm glad that this was our second destination since I still had my energy! Seeing this view was totally worth the mini hike. And since we went here during October the place was not crowded with people yet - good for us!

So picture perfect! We took this shot at the "resting place" of our up hill hike to the lake.

Coron is truly a beautiful place and I would love to go back again someday! As the popular saying goes, "The only impossible journey is the one you never make." And I'm glad that this trip happened. All praises to the Lord. The next adventure awaits, cheers!
