Welcome to Davao! for the third time =)

we're in Marco Polo hotel....but we're not staying here, we just pass by to get Riza's things

my second time in Eden....somethings has changed but the food (the eat all you can treat) it's still yummy =)

I still enjoyed the Indiana Jones! hehe

nice flowers in the Garden of Eden =)

these are the new things in Eden....

my third time here but with different company so it feels like the first time still =)

also here in Jack's Ridge...there's always something to do even for the nth times

beach time..of course we did not miss going to Samal Island but still not in Pearl Farm..in another resort again..last time in Paradise, this time in Maxima with a different activity...more than swimming....

enjoying the Giant water slide =) we did enjoy this one..it's part of the freebies for our white water rafting adventures

we also tried the diving board....SARAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

it's really AQUA FUN here in Maxima..snorkeling, swimming, giant slide, and diving board..all the water adventures =) all here, all in, maximize in Maxima

then we met the EZRA band, they are one of the many contestants in "Pilipinas Got Talent" a talent search in ABS-CBN.....it's nice to see them in person and watched them perform live

Lakwatsa is not complete without Pasalubong....we bought Tuna in Citra Mina, mangosteen, durian, marang both the fruit and the candies in Magsaysay fruit vendors and the Pomelo in Golden fruits and all the Davao stuffs in Aldevinco....who knows I might be going here again for the fourth time....we'll see!

The package I chose was

PhP500 per person
inclusion: tandem ride on the 380 meters and solo ride on the 400 meters zipline. Treetop rappel and cable lift

And so here's an account of my treetop rappel experience =)

He is John Ray, he'll be our technical support for this activity

this one is Ron Ron, he'll be in-charge on our going to the tree and once we go down, he'll be the one below, waiting for us...I just don't know if he can help me if anything wrong happen =(

yahoooooooo..the start of my tree top rappelling adventure, I'll be heading for the 80 feet tree somewhere out there =)

see that hut over there? that's where the adventure begins =)

and I'm on it! the big tree where I'm going to go down and up!

I'm handling the control of the rope, so it's in my hand how fast I will move down but according to John Ray I need to press gradually..oh well I should enjoy it also so I have to take my time =) slowly...enjoying every drop, every fall =)

the going down is fun but going up is a bit scary =( imagine letting the small machine control you =( the control now is in the hands of the one holding the gadget for the pulley (too bad I didn't get his name)

trying to entertain myself...forgetting the fear

now scared, I stopped, I thought there's a technical problem, I'm almost up but I stopped....then John Ray told me he's just taking my photo that's why....hayz!
