Palawan :: North Cay Island

Image
*** From Coron Town Port, it would take about 3-4 hours to get to North Cay Island. Entrance fee is P200.00 per head.  You can take a lunch stop there  (given that you brought with you your lunch meals from town) or stay overnight for another fee.   Their toilet/bathrooms are functional and clean. I didn't ask how much the overnight fee was since the facilities were still under construction/renovation. North Cay Island, just like some parts of Coron were hit badly by Super typhoon Yolanda just late last year. I thought it would not do them any good if I'd take photos of the ruined cottages. Nevertheless, the island is very much still beautiful. The pristine water and long stretch of white sand beach is very inviting. But just like any beach you'd go, best to wear aqua shoes  and put on enough Sun Lotion/Sun Block Lotion. :)  Some photos taken by photographer, Sir Raphy Arcaina PS Mo...

Kayaking @ Lake Apo

Image
For those of you who followed my plog, you probably already know that I have a penchant for water. I love being on the water so much that  I learned to swim on my own when I was 5. ;) This entry, however, doesn't show you my swimming prowess  (I'm not that good of a swimmer  anyway.  Haha!). I'd like to share to you my plog on kayaking at  Lake Apo, Guinoyoran, Valencia City, Bukidnon. The lake is a 4-hour drive from Cagayan de Oro City. It is advised that your ride is a 4-wheel drive to get there. The terrain is slippery and some bits could be rough too. Lowriders can forget about getting to the destination. I'll write on my next plog entry where we stayed for the day. Meanwhile, more info about Lake Apo,  here . **photo credits to LBL and Kent Heyasa

Bohol :: Chocolate Hills ;)

Image
We decided to spend the summer holiday at Bohol. This is just the first of many Bohol plog posts. For easy tour around Bohol especially when you don't know any locals,  it's best that you rent out a tourist van. We rented our van for Php2,000.00 good for 12 hours. Our first stop, Chocolate Hills at Carmen.
