2020.01.29 \u2013 Cauayan \u2013 Coron (Php) \u2013 After breakfast, we patiently waited for our 7:30am hotel\u2019s airport shuttle. The Cauayan City airport was quite small but the waiting lounge was filled with travelers. As we looked at the passengers deplaning, we were surprised to see how many of them were wearing masks. The boarding of the A320 plane was very efficient with the two boarding ramps. The 50 mins flight to Manila was uneventful except for a short quiz ran by the flight agents which awarded small prizes. During the booking of our flight tickets with CEBU, we felt being victims of CEBU business practices which pro-actively sold you flight add-ons without requesting them. Hence, we ended up with a seat selection, a meal plan and travel insurance add-ons. We argued via CEBU chat, to no avail about seeking a refund for these add-ons not requested. Since we booked a 2nd flight from Manila to Coron with CEBU we \u201cbenefited\u201d again of these same add-ons. In Manila, we had to take an airport shuttle from Terminal 3 to 4 which entailed a 20+ mins wait. The T4 waiting lounge was packed with travelers with over 60% of them wearing masks. It seemed like we clearly did not receive the memo! The 75 mins flight from Manila to Coron was uneventful except that Jenny won a small prize during the on-board quiz. Thankfully the quiz was the same as our earlier flight, hence we knew all the answers. The propeller plane to Coron was fairly small, hence we thought that Coron must not be too popular with tourists. Our view quickly changed when our airport shuttle arrived in the busy town of Coron. We could see tourists everywhere. We suddenly understood why it had been difficult to book a single accommodation for 4 nights in town. We ultimately had to book three different accommodations for our 4 nights stay in Coron. After checking into our first one night homestay, we rested before heading out for our evening meal. With no sidewalks, like in most towns, walking on the streets of Coron required constant attention to avoid the army of moto-tricycles, pedestrians, dogs, potholes, etc<\/p>\n\n\n
