Eden Nature Park in Davao

For those who want to read this travelogue from the start, please click the following link:
 ~~~oOo~~~
It was our third and last day of sightseeing in Davao and we wanted to make the most out of it. Good thing that the cab driver was punctual and by 8am, we were already on our way to our first destination, EDEN NATURE PARK.
The ride was considerably long so we took advantage of this by napping. We were both still quite tired from all the sightseeing we’ve done the last two days. After an hour, we reached Eden. I was amazed at how huge it was! 80 hectares in fact! Altho we were only able to tour 40 hectares of it since the other half is still undeveloped and is partly being used as housing grounds for its many employees.
  
Eden Nature Park has the following activities and facilities: Fishing Village where one can catch his own fish and be able to bring it home; Swimming Pool that is situated at the highest point of the resort; 3-ON-3 Basketball Court and Pinoy Games where areas for “piko” and “patintero” are situated; Campsite and Camphuts where one can enjoy outdoor adventure by pitching tents and camping; Souvenir Shop that features native handicrafts and various knick-knacks; Trading Station where one can buy plants, seedlings, etc.; Vista Playground wjhere children love to play especially in the IndianaJones ride adjacent the Vista Restaurant where gastronomical experience awaits you; and the 4-km. Mountain Trail carved along towering trees, creeks and boulders.

  Inside the Marina while waiting for our boat
The receptionist at Davao Museum gave me the number of the resort that books day trips to Pearl Farm. So I called them up and asked for the details. The trip would cost P1500 each inclusive of boat transfers from Marina to Pearl Farm, welcome drinks, buffet lunch at the resort, free island hopping, shuttle tour of the resort and use of swimming facilities. Not bad! 

heading to our boat
The next day, we woke up early and headed to Marina by 7am. Boat will leave at 8am and we didn’t want to be late. While waiting, we took lots of pictures and chilled a bit in their lounge. Finally, we were on the boat on the way to Pearl Farm. The ride only took about 45 minutes and the waters weren’t chopppy at all. We were really excited!


Getting my welcome DRINKS upon arrival…hehehe.

Davao Tourist Spots: Davao Crocodile Farm, Ponce Suites, Davao Museum, Waterfront Insular Resort and Matina Hills

We took an early flight to Davao, 4:20 am. We almost didn't sleep last Wednesday so we could leave by 2am Thursday and be at the airport for early check-in. I know I was thinking about this phenomenon called mercury retrograde and it didn't help that Peter and I were watching crashing planes on Discovery Channel before leaving the house that we almost decided not to push through with this trip due to mixed fear, tension and anxiety (What were we thinking?!!!) . Thank God we're safely back home!

Watching PRISON BREAK while waiting for our flight
So what about Davao did we like? Well... almost everything! Let me share with you one by one the places we've visited and what I think about each of them.
