PHOTO ALBUM…Available

The excitement continues when we decided to have an island hopping at the “virgin island” wherein only virgin people are allowed..hahaha!:-)! We have the greatest time and weather ever. The sun is bright and the sea is very blue. You can smell the freshness of the air around. I can think the blue water as a jelly it is delicious and refreshing.

We rent a pumpboat worth 2, 000 for 4 hours or so. We have our goggles, and life jackets for safety measures. Of course especially to those who is not swimmer like me. Honestly I don’t know how to swim though I live near the seashore. But I never had the chance to know swimming because I am afraid to swim..I have a swimming phobia (long story).

Anyways, from Sugar Beach to the far away waters. The water is so deep and blue. Think it is about 20 feet deep..I don’t know i don’t want to know..hehhehe.

It’s fun and I felt envy staring at them having their tumblings and divings and everything..i wish I could do that. hehee..

please see pictures below. For more pictures refer to this link.

Bantayan Island?

Bantayan island, the shining tropical paradise in Asia is commonly known as an island paradise in Philippines. Tourists as far as Europe fall in love with its fine white sand and crystal clear blue waters. Many of these foreigners even settled down on the island to spend the rest of their lives. They build single-cottage beach houses along the shore but as time went by, construct a couple of new cottages instead to accommodate the growing number of tourists who seeks safe haven on the splendid island paradise. Two of the main attraction of the island is its crystal-clear waters and it’s long stretch of powdery white sand. The stunning sunset will really spice those romantic walks on the beach. One of the reasons the island is famous is its peacefulness, the way a resort should be. Unsaturated beauty and a combination of sweet smiling natives made the island as it is now.

Our Trip to Bantayan..

6 o’clock in the morning when our team decided to meet at the North Bus Terminal at Subangdaku Mandaue. We are heading to Bantayan Island, one of the most beautiful island in the Philippines most specifically in Cebu. AJ was the first to arrive at the departure area and followed by me. I arrive at about 6 am in the morning and somewhat the sun is already so bright. Looks like it is a great Day!!It is already around 6:30AM when everyone started to arrive. God! we’re so excited. Taking pictures here and there.

HOW TO GET THERE

You can go to Bantayan island by plane from Cebu or by Bus and Vans for Hire from the North Cebu Bus Terminal.

From Cebu City
One may take the plane via SEAIR (Flight suspended) flight departing from the Mactan-Cebu International Airport or take a bus ride at the North Cebu Bus Terminal which will take you about 3 hours to Hagnaya from which one desires to take the Island Express Ferry Boat for the 1 hour ride to Sta. Fe, Bantayan Island. Flying time to Bantayan Island is about 25 minutes or less. Recently, there is already a Ro-Ro boat going from Hagnaya to Santa Fe.
