Our flight back to Manila was delayed for more than an hour and we’re stuck at Busuanga’s small airport. We already had coffee at the nearby eatery and checked the souvenir stores along the terminal; we’ve ran out of things to do.

It seemed a waste to just sit there and do nothing, so I decided to check out the grassland in front of the airport with my camera instead. It was almost noontime and it was a scorcher outside; I put on my hat and arm warmers and braved the heat of the sun.

The morning of our last day in Coron found me walking through town once again. My feet led me through its steep streetways, passing sleeping houses and waking dogs. A few minutes past and the breeze of the sea greeted me as I wandered through the brick paved plaza right by the docks.
 
The sun had just risen and everything looked golden; the scent of a good morning was into every fiber of the small town.

For our last night at Coron, we decided to try out the restaurant right across Darayonan where we had dinner the night before. This would be the yardstick as to where we’ll be staying the next time we visit Coron and we’re hoping Coron Village Lodge’s bistro does not disappoint.

We were impressed upon entry; the place looked warm and cozy even with more than half of the tables occupied. Its wooden interior was warmly lighted and knickknacks populate every corner of the place. Tables were made of plain dark-stained wood and perfectly partnered with black metal chairs.

It was almost four in the afternoon as we alighted from our outrigger boat into the creamy sands of Bulog Dos Island. As the cliché goes, time definitely flies by when you’re having so much fun. 
 
This was the smallest of the three islands we visited that day, but I liked it the most among the three. Being 1/8th the size of Banana Island, it can be explored in less than thirty minutes.

Our second destination for the day was just a few minutes sailing from Malcapuya, the Dicalabuan Island or more popularly known as Banana Island.

I asked our boatman why it was named as such as I really wasn’t able to see any Banana trees during our stay there; he said that it’s because the island’s looks like a submerged banana. Hmm.. Doesn’t every island do? It’s a stretch, but okay (I tried checking Google Maps if maybe the island looks like a banana from the air, well no banana there too).

It was another fun in the sun day in Coron, this time we’re off to the farther islands of the Calamian Group. First stop was the very popular Malcapuya Island.
 
Roughly 18 hectares large, this island is dubbed as the Boracay of Palawan; fine white sandy beach, crystal clear waters, lush greens and wooden huts for the occasional visitors. The island was originally owned by the Tagbanuas and was purchased by Mr. Eddie Reyes for only Php4,000.00 during the 80’s, what a bargain huh.

My eyes followed Darayonan’s lighted gate as our tricycle puff-puffed through Coron’s dimly lit streets on the way back to town from the Hot Springs of Maquinit. I saw a glimmer of a restaurant through its entrance and thought it looked interesting. 

We were dropped off at Out of Africa Burger as that was where we planned to have dinner that night.
