White Island Camiguin

This is my post for the island hopping in Camiguin. Kelangan separate post kasi bonggels ang island. Trust me, all in automatic mode ang camera ko but still ganda ng shot! Is it because of my Olympus pen or the nature itself?

White Island is just few minutes away from where we stayed at.
It's best to island hop from 5am, yes bukang liwayway palang umalis na kayo, until 8am as it is really hot na after that hours.
FYI: There's no trees, nipa hut or anything where you can you rest and get a shaded area. It is solely compose of white sand and beach! Best to 
bring a parasol or umbrella if you will be staying long in the island.

sabi nga nila, after 9am lumulubog na daw un island.. means to say, no more sand bar where you can rest. 

That's the Mt Hibok Hibok and Mt Vulcan. Sands are still visible but later on lulubog na to.. check the last photo.


Grabeh lang sa init! Trust me! Pero keribels!



The sand is not a fine as the one in Boracay pero it's not that mainit sa paa naman..  arte arte! haha!



ayan oh, the water is so crystal clear and the sand is so white! Para para paradise!

Other side of the island.


I really didnt mean to post this kilikili shot but this is the only photo showing the sandbar on the right side of the island. :P
The sandbar looks like a deform C for me.




sarong, sunblock, camera and these are the only things I brought in the island.



Some men are selling these sea urchin. arrrrghh! medyo kadiri for me, but my friends told me na it tastes just like kilawin because of the vinegar.





That's Mt Hibok hibok on the background! perfect!

Beside the Mt Hibok Hibok is the Mt Vulcan daw.. not sure... hehehe! Ayan,, unti unti na lululubog sandbar and take note it is only 10am. But we have decided to leave na rin coz it is too hot and nauubos na un sand.. lol!


According to the locals, the sandbar shape  and size changes from C to seahorse, depends on the season.
During afternoon, the sandbar is also visible. But it is still recommended to go there during morning for the sun is still a bit forgiving.
Thats it bitches!
bye!

Aquria, Playa Calatagan

It's a long weekend na naman, kaya we have decided to lay down on the sand under the sun. My skin is still tanned and havent been recovered from yesterday's outing with my family in Lipa and yet again we have this biglaang lakad. We went to Aquaria last Sunday as we thought that we would be able to enjoy the solemnity of the place but I was wrong. Forgot that since it's a long weekend, a lot of people will be on leave as well and will rush to the beach for the last few weeks of summer. We didnt bring a car for I wanted to learn how to commute to Calatagan  (sometimes it better if youre lost - that's my fav tagline) and I also thought that it is just a piece of cake since we will be coming from Batangas. BUT I WAS WRONG! PLEASE WAG NIO KAMI GAYANIN! hahaha! Since we came from Batangas, we had a hard time looking for a route going to Calatagan. Unlike those that will be coming from Manila, I think there's a direct route going to Calatagan. As per my res...

TAAL BASILICA

Image
hmmm... Im from Batangas  that's why I always have the chance to go to the Asia's oldest church which is St. Martin de Tours of Taal... but one day my boyfie and I decided to climb at the Tore of Taal church.. at first I didnt like my bf's idea since Im really afraid of heights but we still decided to try it just for the heck of adventure.. twas creepy, I mean the way up.. coz its too old, too dark and the old stonewalls look like weak and will break anytime! I heard some bats as well and the smell wasn't that nice.. but definitely the view from top was indeed breath taking! You can see the entire city of Taal, the market and the Municipality. Its kinda windy as well so its not really advisable to stay that long since it doesnt have fences. Before you can go there, you need to visit the main office so they could have you assisted by their guards or sakristan since it's not really safe. Then a little donation wont hurt your pocket, I guess. We gave 50 pes...

Image
Hiyaaahh!! It's ber month and Im back on backpacking and beaching mode! Oh yeah, nobody cant stop me from exploring every niche of the PI.. :p   This time, I went to Northern Mindanao with my solemate and his friends. First, we went CDO for the white water rafting - see next blog. The morning after, we went straight to Camiguin. From Cagayan de Oro, we went to Agora Market Terminal to catch the first trip to  Balingoan Bus Terminal. From Balingoan terminal we took a tricycle (10pesos each)  to the ferry terminal bound to Port of Benoni in Camiguin. Fare is 170 PHP / Terminal fee is 2.50pesos and travel time is 1 hour - 1 and 45mins (depends if it is a fast craft or not)  The 5am ferry that we took was not! We arrived  Port of Benoni at 6:45am :(  Recap: Cagayan de Oro  to  Agora Market Terminal (Bus bound to Butuan) Bus to Balingonan Bus Terminal    Ferry to Port of Benoni Camiguin Sunris...
