Last Saturday Oct. 23 2010 I flew to Coron courtesy of my dear friend Roland Nunez of Zest Air. Taking from Manila at 10:15am we landed in Busuanga Airport at 11:30. From there I took a public shuttle to the Coron pier to catch a 2pm boat trip to Culion which is described in the following entry.
I returned to Coron Sunday morning after morning Mass and relaxed before going around the market and climbing Mt. Tapyas. Unfortunately I had no time to go island hopping and see the various sights nor go to Calauit for the safari reserve of President Marcos.
Nonetheless it was a great trip as I fulfilled my late father's wish to visit Culion Leprosarium which he had supported when he lived. I also had a quiet time of reflection and planning for my soul.
Thank God for the great weekend.
I returned to Manila at 1pm today in time to cast my ballot in the local baranggay elections.
Cheers
Gabby
