DAVAO Ow-wOw :D

 

            We reached DAVAO CITY at 8:00pm, we traveled for almost 8 hours. The first thing we did was we check-in at Sampaguita Inn and stayed there for a while to rest. After almost an hour of resting, we went out to meet my friends who live there and had our dinner  at PENONG's where in grilled chicken and pork are their specialty at an affordable price. 

         

         After having our dinner we went to Torres st. where a lot of bars can be found. We entered a bar named GURU, we drink a lot of Tanduay ice , danced and stayed there 'til 2am because the bars in Davao city only served drinks until 2am. 

             What's good in there is that smoking inside the bar's vicinity is prohibited and anyone who abide this policy will need to comply to penalties like paying Php10,000. Unlike in Manila smoking inside bars are allowed which ain't good for the non-smokers like me. I hope that soon the bars in Manila will have the same policy regarding in smoking.

          After barhopping we went back to our accommodation. when we got to Sampaguita inn we stayed a while in the lobby 'til 4am, we played uno cards and finally we decided to sleep because we're already sleepy. 

             We woke up at 10am and after fixing ourselves we start our day tour having PEOPLE'S PARK as our first destination but unfortunately, it's still close and will be open after an hour. So we decided to go to SHRINE CHURCH, then to JACK'S RIDGE where there's a view of the whole city.

            Next is to ALDIVINCO where a lot of souvenir shops can be found. We bought some souvenirs such as shirts and key chains then went to Magsaysay St. where there are a lot of DURIAN vendors. We ate durian and i liked it :D but some of my friends did not. after that we taste MANGOSTEEN which taste a little sour and sweet, It is my first time to taste it and I like it compared to durian and it became one of my favorite fruit. 

           After eating fruits we also eat some delicious street foods and went back to Sampaguita inn to pack our things because our flight going to Manila is 7:30pm but we need to be in the airport at 6pm. 

          At 5:00pm we're already on our way to DAVAO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. After bidding farewell to my friends we immediately went to the check-in counter. Unfortunately, when we checked-in we've known that our flight is 1 hour delayed, so instead of leaving at 7:30, the plane leaves at 8:30pm. We spend our time in the passenger's waiting lounge talking to each other and finally at 8pm we got in the plane and reached manila at 11:15pm.

          Due lack of time we were not able to visit all of the attractions in Davao, but its ok, there's always a next time. And when that next time comes i'll make sure that we'll have enough time to explore and visit all the attractions in Davao.

          Davao city is a clean and beautiful city with disciplined people. I hope that someday Manila will be like Davao especially in terms of cleanliness and discipline.

This is the end of our MINDANAO ADVENTURE. I hope you guys enjoyed reading. THANKS! 

THREE THUMBS UP TO US!!!
