Culture and Corregidor: Night Tour

The night tour begins with a sunset viewing at 5:30 pm. Our guide was so enthusiastic that he taught us how to pose creatively for sunset shots. Unfortunately, none of my shots were good enough to share. Nyahaha.

Lovely sunset. Lovely colors.

Culture and Corregidor: Daytour

I tagged along Beth and her friend. They are touring the Philippines. Since April 9 was declared a holiday (Araw ng Kagitingan), tourists were expected to flock Corregidor. We opted for an overnight stay for April 7-8, 2010. That’s two days worth of leaves for me.

This is the plan:

Day 1 – April 7, 2010
7:30 AM	Check-in/ Boarding Time
8:00 AM	ETD Manila
9:15 AM	ETA Corregidor
9:30 AM	Start of Guided Tour
1:00 PM	End of Tour
	Proceed to Inn for Lunch (included in the package)
2:30 PM	Free time
5:30 PM	Start of Night Tours
8:00 PM	End of Night Tours Dinner (own expense)
Day 1 – April 8, 2010
5:30 AM	Call time of Sunrise Tour
6:00 AM	Complementary tunnel trek
6:30 AM	End of Tour. Head back to Inn
7:00 AM	Breakfast (own expense)
8:00 AM	Free time Zipline, explore the beach, roam around
12:00 NN	Check out
1:300 PM	Transfer to the ferry boarding area
2:00 PM	ETD Corregidor
3:45 PM	ETA Manila

Commute to the pier – which is actually just beside CCP.

MRT to Taft: Php 15
LRT to Vito Cruz Php: 12
Orange Jeep to Pier: Php 7

I made it on time...barely. A coaster bus will take you to the drop off point of the ferry boat. Remember to take the meds if you get seasick. Since Araw ng Kagitingan was near, it was quite a special day for the war veterans. They had this ceremony/event ongoing and they were quite a big group.
