Travel Photos - Camotes

Camotes Island is part of Cebu Province. It has been getting a lot of reviews due to its numerous tourist attraction and beautiful beaches.

We visited the island on a weekend during summer and there were a lot of Koreans on board. Resorts are frequented by Korean students from the mainland Cebu especially during weekends. Rooms are usually fully booked during summer.

Santiago Bay Resort - this is where we stayed overnight. We booked and paid via Agoda.

Santiago Bay - a public beach in Camotes which is famous for its fine white sand

Mangodlong Beach Resort - one of the better resorts in Camotes which is more exclusive and more expensive. Their beach is accessible only from their property. Came here for a lunch.

Shipping Schedule and Rate - We took Jomalia Shipping from Danao Port and this was the schedule and rates.

There are many tourist attractions in Camotes but we enjoyed kayaking at the Santiago Beach and lounging in the pool at Santiago Bay Resort. Eating at the many restos nearby the beach was an adventure itself. We failed to visit other attractions, but maybe next time.

Travel Photos - Coron

I have not been updating this blog for sometime now. Life has been colorful and a lot has happened since then. Anyway, my love for life and travel has not been diminished. I decided to post photo blogs of the places I have been to and write some notes and reviews. It shall serve as my memory book and maybe others will find it interesting too.

I shall start with.... Coron in Busuanga. Picture perfect place.

Mt. Tapyas - this is the part of Coron Town where you can see the C-O-R-O-N on top of the mountain. We braved the countless steps to reach the peak at 4 in the afternoon. There were no canteen or snack bar and we were sweating and panting on our way up. But the view on top was awesome.

Island Hopping - the activity is a must for all visitors of Coron. Early morning at 7-8am, boats leave the dock  for tourists who are scheduled on various island hopping trips.

Kayangan Lake - the picturesque destination in Coron. But you have to brave the uphill climb to enjoy this natural wonder. A cool swim and a sumptuous snack after the climb makes you forget about the tired muscles. A must-visit....

Malcapuya Island - this is where we had our buffet lunch. Lots of profile pics were taken here...

Maquinit Hot Sping - after a whole day of activities with tired muscles, this is a pecfect treat to relax and spend ample time lounging in the hot waters of the spring.

Visited also the Twin Lagoon during the Island Tour but I do not have pictures to share. I would highly recommend the place too.

Hope you appreciate the photos though they are just taken by phone.
