Friday, I called ZestAir to confirm if it’s safe to travel by air, funny co’z the agent asked me why I asked if it is safe? I said, there was a tsunami 30mins ago, and she was really shocked! There were no reported about it, so it means our trip wasn’t cancelled.
March 12, 2011
We went to the Domestic Terminal at 3am, our flight schedule was 4:20am. At exactly 6:15am we reached Davao International Airport. There were taxis and vans for hire, we know that will cost much so we walked out of the airport till we reach the highway and rode a jeepney to Jollibee (very unique fastfood huh!) to eat breakfast that cost us P160.
After that, we rode another jeepney going to Down Town then we get off to C.M. Recto Ave. corner of Uyanguren. We had our early check-in, we took a P400/day room at Davao’s Fortune Inn. We’re not looking for an expensive accommodation, we only have 2days of fun in the City so we will be out most of the time.
We took a nap first, at exactly 10am, we rode a jeepney to NCCC Mall (New City Commercial Corporation) to meet our good friend Ying Udarbe. We ate lunch at Penong’s, like Mang Inasal they serve pork and chicken barbecue on a stick.
Activity #1: Davao Crocodile Park
Address: Riverfront, Corporate City, Diversion Highway
Ma-a, Davao City 8000 Philippines
We started our trip to Davao Crocodile Park. For only P150/head you will witness different kinds of animals and if you are lucky like us, you will be given a chance to watch a bird show.
I enjoyed the animals so much, specially the cow with extra limb 
Activity #2: Idsil Sutukil (buffet for only P99)
Who wouldn’t like it? for only P99 you’ll have your unlimited Sutukil, but hep! wait! No left over please… so you should get what you think you can eat, besides you can go back whenever you want another plate
You can enjoy seafoods, vegetables, fruits, grilled meats and more (depending what menu they have that day).
Activity #3: Lyndon’s World’s Worst Ribs and Awful Chicken
After that sumptuous buffet, we rode another taxi to hang for a while since it was only 8pm. Ying recommended Lyndon’s, she said that was the most popular restaurant in the town. We just ordered some local beers.
I like their marketing strategy, people will be really curious why they sell worst ribs and awful chicken. Once you tasted them, you’ll know the truth behind it 
Break Break Down Yoh!
