The Adventures of Miss Tardy-Pants: Davao City Day 1

What to do in Davao City for 4 days?  Don't ask us. Haha!

First stop was Eden Nature Park and Resort, at the foot of a dormant volcano (which used to be the highest peak in the Philippines -- according to the tour guide, I may have heard her wrong. Haha!).  This 80-hectare piece of land is owned and operated by Ayala. #wowlang


Buffet lunch at the Vista Restaurant in Eden

Pre-pig-out


Waiting for the shuttle -- which will take you through all cool places in the park


Souvenir shop had no souvenir-worthy souvenirs.


First group shot taken by our tour guide


All vegetables are organically-grown


The Mickey Mouse plant


Rows upon rows of herbs


More herbs, which we got to sniff and taste

It started raining pretty badly so we decided to move on to our next destination.  Too tired from the early flight and too high from all the herb-sniffing, we dozed off in the van and woke up to the sound of Kuya Driver 1 calling out "Crocodile Farm na po!" In less than 3 seconds, we were off the van and sleep-walked around the crocodile-infested park.

Lovebirds and a snake


Macho shot 
(we've to find the random mystery couple who stole this shot as well)


Goofball


U-S-T Tigers!


The Mighty Pangil


So kawawa.  
Wish the Kuya Kim lookalikes would find a more animal-rights friendly form of entertainment.


Gandang bag. Joke.

Before going home to Azienda Meo, we went grocery shopping in an attempt to save moohlah.  With this, our breakfast for the next couple of days consisted of canned, processed and deep-fried items representing all food groups. 

If you're only after a malinis, safe and accessible place to stay, Azienda Meo is super sulit.


Home, sweet home
(Management, please do something about the beddings and stinky water heater.  Thank you!)
