Davao City Tour - Part 4
Wednesday, March 01, 2017
Day 3
Our third and last day at Davao City. We started our morning early this time and tried to look for breakfast outside - but failed. :P
We eventually had breakfast back at the inn and then walked around the plaza and the nearby parks and museums.
Among the cities I have visited, it normally has just one park or either one plaza. But here in Davao City, they have more than one park and a huge plaza too. Their parks are dedicated to some of our historical personalities such as Rizal, Osmeña and Quezon.
Museyo Dabawenyo
Museyo Dabawenyo was also nearby so we stopped by to look.
It so cool that a student is doing the museum tour with us. And this small house has presented how rich the Davaoeños culture is.
However, it's not allowed to take photos inside the museum and we only get to take a photo of this painting that symbolizes the three groups of people populating the Davao Region - (1)the Ethnic Tribe (2)the Muslims and (3)the Christians.
We got back the inn, checked out and met with our 2nd driver - Kuya Edwin. Our first stop was the bone museum.
D' Bone Collector Museum
The location of the D' Bone Collector Museum was very unexpected. It looks so small outside but when you go inside, you'll be amazed at the amount of bones strategically displayed everywhere.
The first floor serves as the reception area and the gift shop as well. Here's Darrell (the owner), giving us our tickets. Entrance tickets are priced at Php80.00 for adults and Php70.00 for kids.
The tour starts at the second floor, and we had Princess guide us through the stories of the creatures displayed here.
Darrell covered the rest of the tour at the third floor where a huge collection of sea creatures are displayed.
The stories of the animals displayed at this area are very sad, all of whom were either named after how they were found or what caused their death.
I did one quick browse at the place again to take some photos.
We were so lucky that we had finished our tour just as a bunch of students came rushing in the place.
If you are interested with wild animals and hear some awesome and unbelievable stories about them, a visit at D' Bone Collector Museum is a must.
Before leaving, we made sure to take a bone necklace and a bracelet from the gift shop.
Jack's Ridge
Our next stop was lunch at Jack's Ridge. It's a hotel and resort place but the it was under renovation when we visited.
The view here is breathtaking! And would definitely look beautiful at night too.
There's nothing much to see at the vicinity though but there are few displays that seems to depict Davao's people and culture. These seems to be more beautiful if everything else is fixed and complete.
