February 4, Sunday - Coron, Palawan

On our third day, we continued our land tour around the area. We woke up early to prepare for our trip to the Maquinit hot spring. Getting there was an adventure in itself. We had rented a Wigo car, which was a snug fit for our group of five. The route was a rough, hilly road, so whenever our driver, Asis, thought the car couldn't handle a particular stretch, we would get out, walk a bit, and then rejoin him once the road was more manageable. Thank goodness, there were trees around the area that gave us some shade.

The Maquinit hot spring was beautiful. Everyone took a dip, but I didn't stay long because the water temperature was around 40 degrees Celsius and the sun was getting harsh. We returned to our Airbnb around 1 pm to freshen up and rest, and took a nap before hitting the road again at 4 pm.

We arrived at the Mt. Talapay view deck after a 20-30 minute drive. We enjoyed the long, winding road leading there, and Asis particularly enjoyed the drive. The place was beautiful, and there was likely an entrance fee of 25 pesos. The area was well-maintained, and every spot was perfect for Instagram-worthy photos. We didn’t stay there too long because we didn’t want to get caught in the dark on the road. We noticed that there were few to no street lights present, and most roads had sharp curves.

We ended our day at El Kuvo, a highly-rated restaurant (according to Google) we stumbled upon. The place was pleasant. We were seated in the al fresco area, and the interiors felt very homey. As for the food, prices were a bit expensive, but most of the servings were good for two. The food was okay, but we all found it to be forgettable. Overall, we gave it a rating of 3-3.5 stars.

Oh, we also stopped by the cashew store where you could observe the preparation and cooking of their cashew products. We also bought some keychain souvenirs before finally calling it a day.

Took about 14 hours (8 hours hike going up, 6 hours going back to base) and we did zero research, expecting it to be a quick day hike hahahaha. Packed lunch was nothing but skyflakes and a can of tuna that we split between us.

Was indeed a muddy adventure. Although I would never do this again, glad to have experienced this still.

Dito.. dito mo ako iniwan, Kung saan natatagpo ang lupa at kalangitan. Mag-isang tinatahak ang daan; Hindi alam ang tungo kung saan, Isinisigaw ang iyong pangalan. Dito.. dito mo ako iniwan, Kung saan nag-aaway ang araw at kadiliman. Naliligaw sa kawalan; Pikit-matang nakikipagsapalaran, Kinakapa ang iyong larawan. Dito.. dito mo ako iniwan. Kung saan sabay tayong umawit ng walang hanggan. Iniukit sa bato ang sumpaan; Subalit tila iyo nang nakalimutan, Bakit nawalan ng ningas ang dating suyuan? Dito.. dito mo ako iniwan, Kung saan nagtatago ang ngayon sa nakaraan. Bumalik ako sa dating tagpuan; Umasang iyong babalikan, Ngunit ni anino mo'y hindi ko na nasumpungan. Ganito.. ganito mo ako iniwan, Parang isang gamit na basahan. Daig pa ang laruang pinaglumaan; Itatapon na lamang sa basurahan, Oh, kay sakit naman!
