Farley Family Visits The Philippines – Coron Edition

Easter morning we got on an airplane and headed to Coron.  Last year a co-worker of Matt’s told him about a place called Club Paradise and we went while on vacation in the Philippines.  Basically it is a small island off of the tip of Palawan-Coron and the whole island is the resort.  And it is BEAUTIFUL!

Ready to board our plane for Coron...but first a few rounds of the game "Telephone" while we wait for the plane

We saw some jelleyfish and some got stung by them while swimming.  But, we also saw sea turtles since they eat jellyfish

Coron has some of the cleanest and clearest water that we have ever seen.  The rock formations were pretty spectacular as well.
