it was our last day. syempre, shopping day! aldivinco shopping center is often visited by tourists for pasalubong. items are being sold in a reasonable price. shirts, pastries, key chains, souvenirs and some other stuff are available here. we were able to buy davao shirts for only P90-P100 pesos.

the rest of our davao day 1

8 october 2010, davao city 

holy infant jesus of prague
from toril proper, we ride a jeepney. again i can't remember the signboard, basta pabalik na. sinabi lang ni kuyang driver ng habal habal kay manong jeepney driver na pupunta kami sa holy infant jesus of prague na chapel. fare is 12 pesos, i guess. after getting off the jeep, we crossed the street, may pila ng tricycle, ride and dropped to holy infant jesus of prague. we saw jack's ridge along the way.


the chapel


we offered some prayers, lit candles and talked to Him... :)


lighting of candles, and a whisper of prayer

bangkerohan market
from
holy infant jesus of prague, tricycle ride again downhill. because durian is everywhere, bestie suggested to buy fruits na for pasalubong. we asked some locals where we can find  bangkerohan (according to forums, this is where fruits for pasalubong are being sold). they said it's just about 2 kilometers away. so we crossed the street and ride a jeepney. mabilis lang byahe, we reached bangkerohan in no time. we bought pomelo, 9 pcs. pero nakalimutan ko na kung magkano e. P400-550 ang range.

we were so tired. we hailed a cab and went back to the hotel.

banoks
when we got back to the hotel, the others had arrived. mejo nadelay ata flight nila. dinner time na! there is banoks near our hotel (sa mga forums din sinuggest na masarap kainan to), so we decided to eat there. food is good at a very much reasonable price. ayos!
