After climbing Mt. Apo, it was a loooong line to the shower. So due to random picking up of names, I was part of the first half. We showered first, ate dinner afterwards. We ate in Jenny's Fried Chicken since we learned that it was dirt cheap and because of the picture we had on our way to Mt. Apo. Then we walked around for a while, inquired on the videoke. The rest of the group already showered by this time, and we again had dinner on Bulca Chong, where they served spicy bulalo. Yum! Then we went back to the videoke for one hour of singing despite our raspy voices from the coldness of Mt. Apo.
The next day, we woke up late at around 8 am. We had breakfast in Tapsi's, looked at a few souveneirs in a nearby shop. Due to the time constraint, JM and Sha weren't able to join our city tour. We rented a jeep to go around the city for about PhP 2000 to be able to tour Eden Nature Park, Philippine Eagle, Crocodile Farm, and the Zip Line, ending with a dinner in Jack's Ridge, supposedly. Good enough since there were 10-11 of us... If it pushed through! Unfortunately, since we were late in starting, and our driver got lost, we weren't able to go to Eden Nature Park and Crocodile Farm. Though we did bought some pomelo and durian along the way. Cesar needed to be at the airport because his flight was at 8 or 9 pm.
The day afterwards, we pushed through with the Davao River Tubing, which costs PhP 500/head for an unforgettable experience and bonding! We woke up around 5 am, to get a jeep or bus going to the town (tagalang matipid ang grupo namin! Haha); It was so early, because some of us had flights at lunch and at 2 pm. LJ woke up earlier because his flight was around 6 am. We ate at a local carinderia (cheap thrills!) while we wait for the river tubes to be prepared. Then, the adventure begins! It was a blast getting washed up over and over again haha It was definitely better than river rafting that's for sure! Though people also get more accidents in river tubing hehe We missed those people who didn't share this experience with us.
Once the river tubing ended, coach took a taxi straight to the airport though he was still wet hehe He made it to his flight on time! Hehe For those leaving at 2 pm, Leo, Marlon, and Victor, they were able to try Lyndon's Ribs for an eat-and-run lunch and headed straight to the airport. They barely made it (only able to check in because they used web-check in, but the check-in counter was already closed hehe).
I was the one next on line to go the airport, with my flight at around 9 pm. We did some souveneir shopping nearby, and tried to take a nap. But found it futile, so Rose and I just went in search of Lachi's, the famous dessert place in the area. We got lost because apparently, it was moved! I almost gave up, but eventually the tricycle driver we rode on the way back knew where it was, so yey, we made it! There was no time for dinner however, and by this time, both our cash funds are low and we need to withdraw! Hehe Their cheesecake also costs less than PhP 100, and I wanted to bring home some to my family, just like what I did in Bacolod. However, I realized that I'll be bringing home Dates and Walnuts Cake from my friend who was in Dumaguete at the time, too, so I just took 2 slices of cake. (I wanted more, but I'm getting fat! Haha) Anyway, I also made it to the airport on time.
