Lakawon island Cadiz City





This island reminds me of a handful of memories. It's been more than 2 months since we had our escapade. But I am Not going to narrate our entire bad and good experiences with my pals in this hot, relaxing place. Uhmm. I promise not to go into the specifics. Hehe.



It took us more than an hour to reach the Cadiz terminal from Bacolod. We rode a tricycle going to the port which would take us to the secluded island. Their registration area is pretty much up to date with technology. Amazing! 



The 30 min travel by boat going to the island is somewhat a roller coaster ride due to the high waves and the motorboat is kinda small. The water splashing in front and sideways of the banca makes the ride even more exciting.



Finally we reach the Lakawon dock, it was a hot sunny day! I felt like I was so close to the sun. Good thing Mr. Suncream protected my not so brown skin. We then stayed in their resto, rested for a while and ordered some food. The food was yummy but its pricey for a 1-pax serving. 





My buds and I didnt plan to stay overnight since we are catching up a trip back to Cebu. Right after we had our full stomach, we headed to the seashore to take selfies and instagrammable photos. You bet! the golden white sand and long bridge are enticing!





My ultimate goal was to see the beauty of the floating bar 'tawhai', which means, peaceful or calm.  A mini motorboat is assigned to take passengers from the docking area to tawhai. When we stepped in, it gave me the impression that it's for people who loves to chill and sun bathe. It gave me a clear view of the sea and the resort. The floating bar is a great place for those who want to relax with a seaview. For those who love to take selfies, sure thing you can get a good spot.  Some tourists took a nap, rest, and drink. We ordered several drinks from their bar. Some opted to dive in and play in the trampoline (sort of).I dont know what it's called. At a later time, we joined the other group in diving into the water. 



  







After an hour spent on the tawhai bar, we decided to head back to Cadiz proper so we can go back home. Not to mention the long hours of travel back to cebu via Escalante route. It was such a literally pain in the butt roadtrip. Probably, close to a nightmare! Ugh! Despite that, we arrived home safe and sound. Thank God!




Overall, it was a great experience eventhough we just stayed there for almost four hours. There is a lot to improve on especially with their food prices and activities. The temperature on the island was so different compared to the other islands i've been to. It was oozing hot which a lot of people i know that have been to this place would've the same comment. Perhaps, it was because of not so many trees being visible on the island. Nevertheless, This is another place added to my bucket checked list but definitely not on my favorites. :-)

Patag na pa Fall

Plans don't usually turn out the way we expect it to be. Some gets worse, some brings the best out of us which makes it more exciting and gives that thrilling experience. Indeed! Our Patag mountain escapade was one I couldn't forget. When i recalled what happened, it brought a big amused smile on my face. Patag is located in the mountanious part of Silay City, an hour and a half drive from Bacolod. I've been asked many times where to go near my hometown. I'd always recommend the white beaches and tourist spots such as Lakawon or Sipalay and Campuestohan for those who want some rides in the mountains.  But little did I know that Patag showcases such beautiful waterfalls and verdant scenery. I realized it should be on my list of recommendations now. Just look at the traces below. My two constituents Crystal and younger bro Xian went with me for a day hike supposedly. However, things turned out the opposite way. We departed from Bacolod past 10am and

Sirao Peak for Only 300PHP

Image
A complete package of scenery is waiting for you on this verdant mountain. It is popularly known as Sirao peak and its atop Mt. Kan-Irag. This famous peak is located near Ayala Heights which Sits at about 780 Masl. Definitely, the easy access to the peak made it highly known for trekkers and families to getaway for the weekend. I've been here for four times with different groups with me. The first two experiences were done through the Budlaan trail.  Some said it's the long trail where we passed by waterfalls and did a little bit of rock climbing.  But the last two hikes were very easy and we made it through the backdoor which is the exit of sirao peak. It only took us twenty minutes to get to the top through the Exit way.  It's no sweat for pros but it might be an adventure for beginners and challenging for some. Let me brag that I had the most enjoyed time at Sirao peak. With its city lights at night, the indescribable beauty of sunrise and the chro

MACTAN ISLAND HOPPING

Image
Have you already planned where to go on your summer weekends? Do you have any place in mind to spend your summer days? Hmmnn... you might be interested in hopping different Islands around Mactan, Cebu. We just had ours last weekend. That was a blast! Let me share with you our whole day escapade in Lapu-lapu City Cebu. First things first, you need to consider the weather condition and the date. It is a must that you do a little research on the weather forecast before the date you intend to do such activity. Otherwise, it would ruin your day and peers too! However, if your pals are up for a rain or shine escapade then go as long as the coastguard permits the pump boats to sail. Once the date is already set, you can look for a Travel and Tour agency that offers a great package. We chose the affordable Everyday Summer - Island Hopping and Tours . We picked the smaller boat for PHP 2700 since we were only a group of 10 pax. We bought our own food and rented a van for th
