February 29, 2012 was our last day in Davao. Yes, we're flying back home across the country on a leap year. We're practically flying on a day that only exists every four years. That alone is something very special. So before shopping for souvenirs, I took this snapshot of Tapsi Boy. It has served as our emergency food supplier since day 1.
We then headed to Aldevinco to look for souvenirs. We didn't want to go through each store so we decided to go in the 2nd or 3rd store from the entrance.
We bought 11 magic bags because they are very handy for everyday use. It looks like a long wallet with a zip closure. Once opened, it turns into a large tote bag for shopping.
Aldevinco was practically empty that day. Or maybe everybody will come later in the afternoon.
Anyway, we found even more souvenir items inside the next store.
They were selling more abubots and trinkets than clothes.
Gotta love the durian key chains!!
And the woven slipper key chains.
This durian ornament looks really cute!
Then we walked through this ukay-ukay alley going to the People's Park.
Of course, I quickly noticed this Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Speedy bag. I think it's a 25 or 30.
And some Louis Vuitton charms which I think are all fakes.
After the ukay-ukay alley, I bought this maruya because we haven't had lunch yet and I was already hungry.
So before heading to the People's Park, we decided to eat lunch at Taps, another tapsihan. Hahaha!!!
While waiting for our orders, I took pictures of the cute trinkets we bought from Aldevinco.
My cute durian ref magnet!!!
And finally, my tapa with tocino-silog.
Then we went to the People's Park.
We were surprised to find out that the park was closed. The guards told us to come back at 1pm. We told them that we will be leaving for Manila today so we can't wait until 1pm. Luckily, they let us in.
Please explain this durian dome to me. I don't understand.
Miss Bolivia, please explain your outfit to me!! I don't understand!!
On the way to the airport, I had to take some snapshots. I super hate these Davao tricycles because I can't sit comfortably in it.
I think Merco is Davao's version of Goldilock's and Red Ribbon.
As compared to Davao's tricycles, I like their multicab jeepneys more.
When we got to Davao International Airport, we had to get a permit for the fresh tuna fish. They didn't charge us for the permit.
There were 4 of us with a baggage allowance of 15kgs per person. That means we have 60kgs for our check-in baggage. Whew!!! We had 59.9kgs. Only a point to go. .
On our way to the departure lounge.
We were the first ones to get there so the lounge was almost as empty as a cupboard.
I bought some piaya to nibble on since we still have a few hours before the flight.
Looks tempting. Durian pie.
By the way, we got this key chain as a freebie from Aldevinco. Goodbye, Davao. See you again!
