During the planning stage of this trip, we were excited to see and explore Camotes Island. Well, Camotes Island is under the jurisdiction of Cebu Province.
Camotes Islands is a group of islands in the Camotes sea, Philippines. The island group is located east of Cebu Island, southwest of Leyte Island, and north of Bohol Island. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 102,996. Sometimes known as Lost Horizon of the South, within recent years Camotes has seen increased visitors and tourism, and a growing expatriate community. Apart from natural attractions on land, there is also a score of dive sites around the islands.source
Few kilometers away from the sea port of Camotes, we encountered an unfortunate event because the car we used broke down.
Instead of whining, the group took the opportunity to pose and enjoy the refreshing view of Camotes.
At that time, we were stucked in the middle of nowhere.
After the car fixed, we headed to San Francisco Lake for our first stop.
We enjoyed our first ever ride of small raft. This was the only way so we could go to the small cottage in the middle of the lake. It was an enjoyable experience.
Finally, we successfully brought ourselves to the cottage.
We headed to the Santiago Bay for our second stop.
I had been to different beaches in the Philippines but this shoreline of Santiago amazed me. Look at the shoreline, it was wide. It took us few minutes before we were able to reach the sea water.
Next, we headed to Timubo Cave. As a claustrophobic, I was reluctant to go inside the cave but my friend pushed me so I went inside the cave and I never regretted it. Let me show you the inner beauty of Timubo Cave.
As we went inside, there were few steps of stairs going down. It was illuminated by the fluorescent light so it was not dark inside.
Have you seen the water behind me? Well, according to our guide that the water is pristine and safe for bathing so we dipped in a cold water.
Some people behind me were not my friends. They were also tourists who were enjoying the cold water.
Here's my group who had enjoyed taking photos.
We really had a good time. We were also able to mingle with the other guests, it really made the experience more enjoyable.
As we went outside of the cave, we'd met another group, they were Koreans, most of them were friendly so one of my friend asked them if we could have a souvenir photo.
This is the beauty outside of timubo cave.
If you don't know, We Filipinos are fan of singing in the videoke. It is one of our pass time.
So after the whole fun day, we entertained ourselves thru singing. We were fortunate because we stayed in the resort with videoke machine.
In the morning, we immediately went outside to have a fresh buko. The coconut water was so sweet. We all know that coconut water is good for our health especially when it is consume in the morning.
After we enjoyed our breakfast, we headed to the white sand beach.
The beach was not crowded that time so we were not hesitant to do anything.
Since this was not part of our daily routine, we spent most of our day in the beach and in the sea water.
We took this rare opportunity to relax in this paradise resort.
Our 2-day vacation was over. And all of us were ready to return back home.
Thank you for reading and see you on my next blog. Cheers!
Namaste! I am fond of reading books, watching korean, american and filipino series/movies and I am also fond of gardening. I love listening to different life stories and I am always captivated with the beauty of nature so travel is my escape when life turns into blue. But hey, how could I forget my photography hobby? It is one of the best, so follow me as I will be featuring my experiences of the stuff that I am passionate with.
