Back From Paradise Island, A Trip To A Crocodile Farm, And A Ride In A Jeepney


After a boat ride back from Paradise Island Resort, we hit a mall in Davao City.  Sort of upscale, the mall had these cool stuffed animal vehicles for the kids to ride...


Then it was on to Greenwich Pizza.  Greenwich Pizza is a chain restaurant here and I think it's owned by the same people who run Jollibee....


And a bit later, we hit Davao Crocodile Park which has a lot more than just crocodiles!












I especially liked this monkey who seemed to be having second thoughts about this sign. I think he was hungry...

Then it was a ride in this tricycle-thing.  The driver didn't want me to ride in the back as my weight would have caused an involuntary wheelie, I'm sure.  So I had to ride with one cheek hanging out the side of the thing.  I don't think these are meant for 3 people...

Then, we rode in the back of this jeepney.  It was cramped.  And somewhere in Davao City tonight there's a poor old lady telling her family about the fat ass American who stumbled on his way out of this thing and grabbed her arm.  Forgive me, kind old lady, I thought it was a handrail!

Finally, some snacks while overlooking Davao City from Jack's Ridge...
