Davao - day 4

Day 4, our last day of vacation. We woke up early got dressed and packed our bags. When I was ready to go, I took pictures of the house, even the neighborhood outside.

~ Blur shot in front of the mirror. ~

When we were waiting for the husband to finish packing (yeah, he's in charge with the bags), the little angel made new friends again. When I asked them to look at the camera and smile, the little kiddo made a weird pose.

~ With my new friends... ~

We went to this church in front of the town's City Hall. There were lots of vendors out the in street too. My dad and I bought peanuts, buko and other chicha (snacks) on the street.

~ My friend told me that this church was bombed few years back. Scary. ~

Lunchtime. We saw Jo's chicken couple of blocks from the church. There's a branch of Jo's chicken here near congressional (qc) and we love to eat there, so we want to try Jo's version in Davao.

~ Daddy wait up! ~

We sat in the corner where it's spacious and cozy. I love the interior of the place.

~ Little angel just won't smile. ~

After lunch, we checked out the local delicacies. Davao's best -- Durian. But I like Suha more than Durian because I can't stand the odor.

~ Bought fruits and packed them in boxes. ~

We were suppose to watch a group of drag racers but the race was already finished. Sayang! So we went to crocodile park instead.

~ At the entrance. ~

In the park, we saw more animals. I did not had a hard time asking the little kiddo to pose beside the animals. It's just that, she makes that weird pose again.

~ The pose. ~

There were lots of crocodile in the park (obviously) this one in the middle of the park, I think was the largest. This was the biggest crocodile I've seen in my life.

~ He's huge.. promise. ~

Another animal that caught our attention was this Chimpanzee who kept swinging using a car's tire. He's big too.

~ Hello there! ~

We stopped by the the park snack bar and rested. Of course more picture taking for me while the hubby and the little kiddo checked the place. When they came back, they bought this weird fruit shake. The hubby said, it was a Dragon fruit. It's tasted like banana but it's pink. Weird.

~ Souvenir shop in front of the snack bar. ~

It was getting late that's why we decided to go home. We finished packing the bags, checked the fruit boxes and then we said farewell to everybody. They said, on our next visit, we should stay at least two weeks. Wishing well.

Then we had dinner at Bannoks, yup chicken again hahaha. The food there is low-priced, even in restos. Believe it or not, we only paid Php514 for the dinner--2 chicken pecho, big bowl of Bulalo, grilled liempo, chicharon bulalak, unlimited rice and a liter of pepsi.

~ I just love grilled chicken. ~

After dinner, we went straight to the airport. We said goodbye and thank our friend for all the hospitality. See you in Manila bro...

~ Hubby and the little kiddo entering the airport gates... ~

Pre-departure area was crowded. We were able to get a front seat row where we can easily view the airplanes parked outside the runway. I even took a video of the little angel running back and forth. Ang likot grabeh!

~ Checking the airplane. ~

The little angel, of course fell asleep because it was very late and I think she's tired from all that running earlier. The flight experienced little turbulence along the way. It made the little angel uncomfortable that's why she slept on lap and preferred a bear hug from me. I kinda felt a little panic because stupid me, I watched Air crash investigation before we left Manila.

~ Sleeping... ~

Two hours later, we were back in Manila. We were laughing in the baggage area because the little angel got frustrated. Our bags were taking so long to come out of the hole. Then we met up with a friend whose working there as one of the airport police. He escorted until we got our bags properly stuffed in the car.

~ Nice to see you again bro... ~

We were safe and sound in Bulacan at 1AM. Hmmmm... Davao is a nice place. Wish we could go back there, next year? Let's see. Check photos *here*

Unlimited rice? Lugi sila kay Gerry... hehehe.

What is it with kids and water? Feeling mer-people ata sila eh =). Keyan naman has obsession with birds. He just has to chase them =).

How did Lj like Davao? Buti naman she easily makes friends para hindi sya nabo-bored.

Thanks for sharing your pics. Ingats!
