On By Psyche CastillonIn TravelLeave a comment

I know from the books that Davao is the biggest city in Asia, but that did not really sink in until we traveled to Eden Nature Park, which was more than or almost an hour from my brother-in-law’s house.

  1. Day 1, Friday – Burial of Mother’s cousin
    1. Roxas Night Market
  2. Day 2 – Eden Nature Park, Jack’s Ridges
    1. Durian coffee at Karlo’s Gourmet and Coffee

I was so excited for this trip because it would be 20 years since I have visited my cousins’ hometown of Banga, South Cotabato. Because we arrived a day earlier, my family graciously toured us around. We are a pasalubong-loving family and the itinerary of “one day South Cotabato tour” centered around the things we would like to bring back to Cebu.
