[tinapay]

chinkyaise: yeah, i suggest you do get an underwater cam for your coron trip.
sunnysan: i bougth my fujifilm sa may sulit, hehe.  i had a few pics ng mga corals pero mas nagandahan pa ko sa corals ng puerto princesa than in coron.

[chinkyaise]

Tinapay: thank you, oo nga kasi sayang kapag walang underwater camera, sa december pa naman ang tour namin, ang mamimiss ko lang iyong reefs and wrecks na tour, next time na lang iyon kasi 3 days 2 nights lang kami.

[manang02]

sis beautz: oo malayo ang Birang's sa Coron Bistro at Coron reef pension.
Nasa town kasi yang 2 na yan. Actually parang mas malapit sila sa isa't isa.
So from Birang's, kelangan pa mag-trike para makarating dyan. Mga 1-2 minutes ride lang naman yun.
Next time, around the town na yung pipiliin namin na accomodation.
Yung diving shop na pinag-rentahan namin katabi lang ng Coron reef pension, gusto ko sanang i-check yung rooms kaya lang walang nagbabantay.

Actually naghahanap rin ako sa sulit hehe pero isip isip muna ako if i need to buy [textspeak!]. May digicam naman
Na ako eh kaya medyo nasasayangan ako. Bka buy na [textspeak!] ako Ng dicapac. At least 1200 lang. Hehe.

sis tsik ok naman ang centro coron location wise kasi center talaga sya ng lahat, when it comes to food masarap din pero medyo mahal ang per order nila, may eat all u can sila every sat-sun not bad for only 170, 4menu and 1dessert, sa accommodation malaki ang room nila good for 6pax pero ang 4pax nila maliit, i think 4 rooms pa lang ang available nila.

ok naman ang flight nakarating ang plane ng cebupac kanina na sinakyan nila sis joanne kasi umaraw sa busuanga pero maulan sa coron.

birang guesthouse is malayo sa town proper mga 10min via tric pa tapos 10pesos ang pamasahe.

bad news babalik ulit ang 12hrs electricity dito sa coron 1pm-1am na lang daw ulit madalas kasi bronwout eh...

[tinapay]

Tinapay: thank you, oo nga kasi sayang kapag walang underwater camera, sa december pa naman ang tour namin, ang mamimiss ko lang iyong reefs and wrecks na tour, next time na lang iyon kasi 3 days 2 nights lang kami.

nung nag coron din kami, not all reefs and wrecks yung napuntahan namin. yung coverage lang ng coron loop   enjoy sis!

sunnysan: before din yung parang cover ng digicam lang ginagamit ko to take pics underwater. that was in balicasag in bohol.  ok din naman pero mas clear kasi yung underwater cam

[ayionick]

^leidy, musta na? nagtetext ako sayo eh, binigay ko sa officemate ko yung number mo.

[beautz]

oh no! malayo pala yung birang's guest house. nalalayuan pa naman na ko sa princess of coron. hahaha. yung CVL nilakad lang namin yun nung kumain kami ng bulalo dun eh. Hay, dun pa naman gusto ng mga kasama ko kasi ang ganda sa website ng pictures nila. so orange.

sis leidy: ano pa suggestion mo na accomodation na near the docking station na malapit sa coron reef? yung sea dive daw kasi parang pro foreigner. hahaha kung medyo filipino looking ka parang di ka masyado pansinin. and ok ba yung L and Pe lodge? parang katabi lang din siya ng coron reef. baka last resort nito mapunta kami sa amphibiko.

[two_zero]

sis beautz near docking station talaga???

LMP is katabi na nito palengke i think amoy na dito ang market eh sobrang lapit kasi talaga, i wont recommend seadive hindi talaga masyado naasikaso ang mga pinoy, pero kung rooms lang kukunin nyo dito i think ok na rin sya sa restaurant kasi pagmagoorder hindi pinapansin mga pinoy, ang malapit lang kasi sa docking station eh LMP, seadive, coron reef, centro coron, maraming bagong hotel pero baka sa late this year magopen or early next year.

[beautz]

yung malapit lang sana sa coron reef pension house. yung coron reef kasi strategic yung location niya. malapit kasi siya sa lahat. sis yung centro coron facing the dock siya?

[beautz]

sis leidy: what i mean pala ng malapit sa docking station is yung parang may docking area sila, at least convenient kung mag magtotour at kahit basi kami galing island hopping keri lang dahil andyan lang yung aming accomodation.

[matetreyes]

yung malapit lang sana sa coron reef pension house. yung coron reef kasi strategic yung location niya. malapit kasi siya sa lahat. sis yung centro coron facing the dock siya?

sis beautz, yung centro coron, hindi sya kahilera ng coron reef. madadaanan mo sya papuntang palengke pero hindi sya sa palengke mismo. kung alam mo yung ralph's pension yata yun, halos katapat nun.

[two_zero]

sis beautz LMP, seadive and cron reef lang may docking station pero centro coron is walking distance lang naman sa palengkemas maganda sa centro coron compare sa coron reef,

[kriztina]

ok lang ba magtour sa coron with 5 yrs old kid? thanks

[blue_ice]

sad that i won't be having an underwater cam. kinalimutan ng friend ko to lend me...so sad.
anyway. today is our flight to coron by cebu pac. sana matuloy po...wala pa akong tulog.

kamusta pala weather sa coron?

[tinapay]

ok lang ba magtour sa coron with 5 yrs old kid? thanks

nung papunta kaming kayangan lake, i saw a mom carrying an infant.  so i guess ok lang pag may kid na kasama.  but of course the kid should have her/his own live vest for safety dahil puro swimming ang tour ng coron (esp. coron loop and malcapuya).
