Exploring Davao City 😚💕

Finally back at one of the places I can call home — Davao City, a place that was once part of the Sultanate of Maguindanao which was called “Pinagurasan” way back by the maguindanaos. Davao City experienced a whirlwind of events dating back from the precolonial era to the Japanese era in which the place was previously occupied by the Japanese and later on developed the place with abaca plantations. After the war, Davao was rebuilt and developed as a regional center for commercial and administrative activities, and was later on incorporated as a city in 1936.

7 years after visiting Davao way back 2018, I finally revisited the place I love the most. Everything seemed new to me again since establishments were bigger and the place upgraded into a very modern urban city. For 4 days and 3 nights, we stayed at The Royal Mandaya Hotel and the experience was great! In front of me was a 5 star well-known hotel in Davao City where celebrities and politicians often visit because of its incredible hotel service, and delicious buffet. An all-you-can-eat buffet welcomed us near the lobby, and the place smelled like heaven as the fragrance of breakfast surrounded the place.

We visited different tourist attractions in the place — one of them was the famous Crocodile Park. Different species of animals were seen including snakes, crocodiles, tigers, and many more. What's special about the park is not only the animals, but their famous Crocodile Ice Cream I've always wanted to try 6 years ago. To my surprise, the ice cream was very delicious! If no one asked, you wouldn't know that crocodile eggs were incorporated in the ice cream. After a fun tour at the park, we went to Heaven Dew Resort in Kapatagan near Mt. Apo where we took photos of our family, and all of the beautiful flowers in their garden.

Davao was really fun to revisit. After years of not being able to travel back to Davao, I finally got to visit one of the best places I've been to again. It was a memorable travel with my family since we got to reunite with my relatives all the way from Davao, where we bonded, danced, sang, ate buffets, and visited different places.
