BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA - Day 3

On our final day in Buenos Aires I wanted to go back to Recoleta area and due the Cemiterio tour. It turns out it was Lori's birthday and she wanted to do the same thing and had arranged to me a guide at 11 am, Scott also joined in and we had a great time! The tour was a combination architectural keeping up with the Jones and the added bonus of a fun ghost tour with great stories on some of the resident spirits!
After the tour we went to see the Lotus in Parque Thays. It was a gift to the city. The petals open and close at night.


Yesterday we joined in with many of our fellow residents to take in some of the many water spots around Coron . We signed up through Get Your Guide, others used Trip Advisor and they both contracted with Psalms Travel Services in Coron. As I've explained before, figuring out our excursions in each port, is a big time suck for me. We prefer to find local venders without having to go through the big agencies (because you usually can get better service, pricing and customization) but sometimes it is just easier to stick with the big guys, when the excursion is super popular. Psalms turned out to be an excellent operator and I laughed when I saw they had used the below images on their Facebook page today. Didn't realize my pink dry bag stood out so much!

We are currently docked at the port of CORON , in the Palawan archipelago islands, of the Philippines . While the port itself is nothing special, and the surrounding town is hardly thriving, the people here are amazingly friendly, joyful and so happy to be around! You can see from below, they have a ton of hotels and restaurants but mostly it's their water actives that attract a fair number of tourist. Known for their crystal clear water, dramatic limestone cliffs and powdery white sand beaches. June is the start of the rainy season, but so far the weather has been good.
