DFAT 2012 - Day 1 @ Crocodile Park & Tribu K Mindanawan Cultural Village

After the introduction and more chika chika at Ranchero, the time has come for us to leave for the Crocodile Park where we saw several exotic friendly animals.  Friendly in the sense that you can hold them for picture taking.  I never had one with any of those snakes (the dark and the albino).  Even the baby crocodile whose mouth was taped, I did not hold it thought they offered it for free.  I just enjoyed going around taking pictures.

The park visitors mostly enjoyed taking photos with these animals especially the snakes.  The tiger looks big but he is jut five months old.  I only saw one crocodile that is out of the water.  I know there were more but I was not able to see them in their cages.

Adjacent to the Crocodile Park is the Tribu K' Mindanawan Cultural Village and their Kaunanan where they had an amphitheater for their fire dance presentation.
We were just on time to witness it.

My shots were not that good as I am not yet very familiar with the modes or settings of my camera.   I have a few vids but since it's taking me forever to upload @ youtube so I will share it later.

After their presentation, they allow audience to take a photo with them inside their fire ring.  I have one but I guess in one of the bloggers' camera.    It was then announced that if we are hungry, we can eat in their dining hall and be entertained by beautiful native music.  How I wish we could stay longer but we were off to our next appointment - our dinner!

Until the next post...

Lake Apo: The Plan and the Visit

Image
The first time I saw Lake Apo in the Facebook account of the owner, Dr. Almer Alfonso, I said to myself, I am going there.  So I clicked Like on the photo and then later ask Dr. Almer how to get there.  Summer was over and first semester started and I still can't put into my schedule a trip to Bukidnon.  I desired to see the place alone.  But then thinking it would be more fun to have company, I tagged the photo to my fellow Iligan blogger, Pinay Travelista .  I am betting she got a mole on her foot thus her travel blog.   Indeed she agreed to make me realize my wish without a second thought.  We thought we could make it last August during the last weekend where Iligan enjoyed a long weekend.   But Dr. Almer was on vacation in the US.  September made us really busy for the planning of the coming MBS5 so the plan was put aside to an unknown schedule. Before September ended, I know I am going to make the plan a reality.  I shared the plan with fellow Iligan bloggers and invited ever...
