Davao Day 3 - Jan 17, 2009
We stayed overnight in Pearl Farm and we decided to take the last ferry ride (4:00 PM) back to Davao Marina from Pearl Farm on our third day so we still have almost the whole afternoon to spend more time at the beach.
We left our cottage around 9 AM and called for shuttle service going to the restaurant for our buffet breakfast (which is included in the package when I booked our hotel accommodation thru Asia Travel). After breakfast, we decided to checked out Malipano Island (owned by Pearl Farm also and where Dawn Zulueta’s Private Villa is located) and is a three minutes ferry ride from the Main Island. Ferry ride is free and it leaves every thirty minutes to take guests to Malipano Island from Pearl Farm and vice versa. We stayed here for an hour since we enjoyed swimming at the beach and Bela enjoyed playing with her new playmate, Jocobo Zulueta Lagdameo.
We went back to the main island around 11:30 AM. Since we are still so full after our heavy breakfast, we decided to have a late lunch and enjoy the infinity pool for the last time.
We ate lunch around 1 PM. My sister and I initially wants to have an a la carte lunch instead of the buffet since we are still so full but upon seeing the desserts station, we decided to have buffet lunch instead.
After lunch, it is time to go back to our rooms to prepare for our 4 PM departure since they only gave us one room for late check out (which is 3 PM). It is already 3:30 PM when I checked out from our room and the boat going back to Davao Marina is now ready for boarding.
When we reached Davao Marina, we left our things there and we were picked up by our cab driver again since we wanted to do some more shopping at Aldevinco and we also bought Durian candies and Pomelo from the fruits stores near Aldevinco. Then we just had take out dinner from Mc Donalds since we have to go back to the Marina since they scheduled our free shuttle service going to airport at 7 PM for our 8:30 PM flight.
The flight was I think 15 minutes delayed but all in all we never really had any major problems with Cebu Pacific.
