Pure Paradise in the Mountains

              When all of the people in Davao City celebrate its 76th Araw ng Davao, my bestfriend and I climbed (a bit exaggerated) the mountains of New Corella to reach the Inland Resort of Matin-ao as scapegoat from our frustrations from the cancelled Camiguin Tour and the super brain-crashing FINALS WEEK! And so we went to a trip just the two of us to spend early summer escapade since we won't be seeing each other for two months.

                  If you came all the way from Davao, the travel will probably be 3 hours but if you think it's a bit long and you're thinking it will be boring, I assure you not :) I recommend you will enjoy the transport more when you commute.

              Maybe it will be more expensive to commute but the fun is priceless, its a matter of experience :D

          You will really have a good time there with their 7 pools that we swam in endlessly. They have 3 ft, 4ft, 5t, 7ft and 12ft. Pools ! It was so awesome that we spent the whole day swimming back and forth, transferring from one pool to another :)
