After we have our lunch at Eden Nature Park we went to The Philippine Eagle Center. From Eden Nature Park it took us about 2hours to get to The Philippine Eagle Center. The Center was build to educate people about the conservation of the animals however it has also been a famous tourist attraction. The center cater not only the Philippine Eagle but its also a home to other species of birds, mammals and reptiles.
Each eagles in the center have their own cage which is much larger than a normal house. This allows the eagles to fly freely in their cages. The trees inside these cages are also enormous. We were surprised when we see the first eagle which is about half of my size.This is just how the Philippine Eagle can get big. There are some eagles that are not inside the cage and can be approached closely by guests. These eagles are still young. They perched on trees or man made nests with water basin and bowl for their foods.
Aside from eagles the center is also a home for monkeys and crocodiles. The huge trees has definitely become a home and playgrounds for the monkeys. A small man-made swamp is where the crocodiles are located. Although when we visited the place the crocodiles are hiding in their habitat.
After the Philippine Eagle Center we then go to our next destination which is the Crocodile Farm. Of course, as expected the place is all about crocodiles. Well, just like the Philippine Eagle Center, the Crocodile Farm also take cares of snake, some birds, monkeys and a tiger.
We reached the place late afternoon and we're still lucky that we were able to watch the crocodile show. After that there's still a fire dance performance in 30 minutes so we decided to head first to the Zorb Park. The Zorb Park is located inside at the entrance of the Riverfront Corporate City. The zorb activity cost P200.00 per person. After trying the zorb ball we went back to the Crocodile Farm to watch the fire dance however we get bored so we decided to head back to our hotel and prepare for dinner.
Since its our first time to visit Davao and who knows when will be the next, our tour guide advise us to check Jack's Ridge which is a very popular place to dine in Davao. The restaurant is located on top of a hill hence you will have a nice view of Davao in the evening. The place gets easily crowded and if you want to be seated on the table with the overlooking view you need to be there before seven in the evening.
The place is indeed beautiful however there's nothing special on their food. They serve the same menu that a usual restaurant will have - Sinigang, Grilled Pork or Chicken, Sisig and other usual food in Manila. Food preparation also took some time so we grab this chance for us took some pictures while we wait for our foods to be served. Aside from the restaurant, Jack Ridge also has a swimming pool and a cafe. The swimming pool is located on the left side, the restaurant is at the center and the cafe is at the right side.
We headed back to our hotel after our dinner. On our way we saw some fruit stands and our guide asked us if we want to check if Durian or Pomelo is available on the stands. Unfortunately, they no longer have Pomelo that night but they still have lots of Durian. They offered us to taste one of the Durian that they just opened. The fruit was sweet even if its really smelly.
That is how we end our first day in Davao. Below are some other pictures of our trip.
