Davao City Tour - Part 5
Thursday, March 02, 2017Kuya Edwin suggested places but we've either visited it by foot or we have already covered it yesterday. However he had suggested two places that were not included in our itinerary.
GAP Farming Resort
The first one was GAP Farming Resort, that had this Biggest Urinating Carabao in the World.
The place was more of like a recreational place for seminars, team building and educational trips but you can roam around and explore the place with an entrance fee of Php80.00 per head. It's like a place where teachers make student go and explore and have you write an essay about it afterwards :P
There are rooms, cottages and a pool to rent if you want to enjoy the place. They also have their own restaurant inside.
The place seems busy at its prime. There are few caretakers keeping the place clean but there are areas that needs renovations. Here are some shots of the place:
Davao Crocodile Park
And on to the highlight of our last day - Davao Crocodile Park!
This place is super perfect for kids! They have loads of interactive activities with the animals plus they house Pangil, the largest crocodile living (next to Lolong) in the Philippines.
I personally loved the Fish Feeding and Tiger Feeding. It was so much fun! I had tons of love feeding the fishies, they were all hungry. Sultan was the largest Tiger from the group and was pretty hungry too. :P
Aside from crocodiles, they have the same creatures we saw at Eden Park and more!
We weren't able to see their Cultural Show and Fireshow - - it's regular show schedule is during Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only. We got to see the Crocodile Feeding thoough.
Ponce Suites Art Hotel
Our last stop and Kuya Edwin's second spot suggestion was the Ponce Suites Art Hotel.
Just look at the huge sculptures upfront this hotel ~ if you were a SIMS character, you might need an extra bar for your Room Level. lol.
The place is literally a huge museum of all kinds of artworks. Its a hotel (and restaurant) but you can enter the place if you just want to look around for Php100.00 per head.
The artist of the pieces here is the same artist who made the sculpture upfront the City Hall of Davao City - Kublai Millan.
Here are some of the interesting works you'll see there:
And I have to mention that the owner of the place (the artist's mom) is very hospitable and friendly! - very supportive to his son's passion too.
All in all...
This trip was very memorable, informative and fun! I had tooooooons of firsts and I get to learn loads of stuff with Davao's people, places, history and culture.
I would definitely love to go back there and explore the rest of what Davao can offer.
Thank you for reading all the way through!
