Long weekend for most working people means staying home and catching up on sleep. But for travel addicts *ehem*, that would be a perfect opportunity to go on an out of town trip.
 |
I was expecting long queues and chaos in the airport, but obviously,
only a few took advantage of the four-day long weekend. |
The flight took around three hours, including the almost 50-minute traffic at Manila ramp. Upon arrival at Davao, we immediately proceeded to Pearl Farm Resort and spent 2 nights there. We came back to the city on the third day and went to Eden Nature Park.
On our way to the park, we passed by a fruit stand which sells pomelo, marang and durian.

We simply cannot resist buying Davao's Pomelo on the go.
It's so sweet and juicy! |
We also dropped by a friend of a friend's rest house while waiting for our scheduled tour at Eden Nature Park.

| Feels like I'm in Baguio with all the pine trees surrounding the house |
 |
| Even the chickens can run here freely |
 |
| The place is so relaxing! |
I finally gave in and tried out durian for the first time.

This photo never fails to make us laugh! |
Before heading to the airport, my friend bought some pomelo plants to take home. Apparently, you can buy plants and have it checked-in (get a permit from the quarantine office at the airport first) if you want to grow some at your own backyard.
Fun. Adventure. Relaxation. I miss Davao already.
