Memories of Coron

I always believed what Forrest Gump said in the movie, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you’ll never know what you’ll get”. My life has been one full of surprises, sometimes they may not be happy ones but in the end I would always look back and smile once in a while and be proud of what I’ve been through or where I have gone to.

I’m talking about places I’ve visited, of people I have met along the way and the experiences that has nurtured me in every sense. Perhaps, one of the most memorable experiences I will forever instill in my heart is going to Coron. I think the place well deserved the credit and applause that Boracay and Puerto Princesa Palawan boasts of.

Coron is a place for the island and sea lovers. It has a threshold of islands by which you can reach through a boat. Even El Nido which I was told was one of the splendid places that Palawan also offers can be reached by boat. Although the journey to the island were mostly long. You can feel the sea breeze humming and batting your face. You can feel the water whipping through your boat or sprinkling your face or feet at various occasions while you journey in your boat. Renting the whole boat may be quite expensive, especially if you want it all to yourself. But you can get it cheaper by joining in with some visitors. As it is in business, expenses are always cheaper by the bulk.

I have never been to a hotspring that Maquinit has really been. The waters has really been therapeutic. If you like going to the spa then this one is for you. But mind you, the ride may be long and bumpy. If a lake would awe you, why not go to the Kayangan Lake? Mostly consisting of salt and fresh water combination. Why not indulge yourself in in swimming with the fishes? Then go to the white sand beaches of Malcapuya and Banana Island. Even at 2 feet deep, you’ll find yourself living with the fishes. Oh, I wish I was a mermaid!

There really are various places to enjoy in the Philiippines. I hear Coron is going to be the next Boracay. Let’s see how Coron would fair with Boracay. Boracay, wait for me!
