Macbee's Visayas Adventure

Tatlong province lang ang naikot namin ni hubbee sa Visayas pero marami rami namang bayan ang nakita namin in separate occasions. Sad lang kasi yung na-cancel na Cebu birthday trip eh gagawin sana naming Cebu-Dumaguete-Siquijor adventure. Matagal na namin kasi gusto makita ang Magandang resort sa down south nang Cebu, pati na din ang Mystique province nang Siquijor at ang kilalang Dumaguete. But anyways, here are the Visayan memories of me and hubbee..

Badian, Cebu. This is where we witnessed the beautiful Kawasan Falls and enjoyed the trek going there. And most especially the waterfall massage. Hubbee is a good swimmer so he enjoyed jumping and diving to the cold water. We were accompanied by our good friend Wee Dimalanta on this trip. This was also memorable for hubbee because of his tooth ache that we had no choice but to have it extracted sa Town Health center for P100.00 only. Haha!

Bantayan Island, Cebu. Our memorable commute and journey to the northern part of Cebu. I think we took all types of transportation. We took a taxi, bus, ferry, multi cab and motorcycle to get there. That was an adventure! But the beach in Bantayan Island was just spectacular. And the privacy and intimacy of the island was really captivating. 

Boracay, Aklan. Every year, every summer, hubbee and I go to this island. The first trip was with our good friends Hazel Pobrero, Drey Lallo and Aldrin Isidro. We did so many activities and maximized the days we were there. The second trip was with my sister for my 30th birthday celebration. Friends flew in (Laarni Zamora, Ella Salvador and Al) to have a quick vacation and for the celebration. Best party night at Epic bar and seafoodtrip at dampa. This year was just me and hubbee. Honeymoon kunwari. Hehe.

Carmen, Bohol. This is where we visited the famous Chocolate Hills, the tarsier and the big phyton. This is where we discovered the fake chocolate hills background used for photo effects that has deceived me for years. Haha! But seriously, the view of the hills is just beautiful. Very unique. Only found in the Philippines. This tour was joined by our girl friends Michelle Paras, Monica Guce, Grace Consolacion, Bianca Barreto and Sara. We had a quick stop also at the man-made rainforest. Beautiful!

Cebu City, Cebu. We’ve been here twice as well. On our first trip, we just checked out Ayala Mall, church visit at Basilica de Sto. Nino, and had buffet dinner at The Port in Waterfront Hotel since we don’t have much time. But on our second trip, we did the Sky Experience Adventure, visited the Taoist Temple, The Capitol and The Strip. Hubbee was more of looking forward to experience the Edge Coaster and finally, he has experienced it. And of course, it won’t be complete without a buffet again at The Port.

Loboc, Bohol. The Loboc Church was nice, most especially inside as they have preserved the old beauty of the church. It's like going back to the old era. We also checked out the sandugo shrine where the first blood compact was held. And of course, the highlight, the Loboc River Cruise. Good lunch buffet and good Loboc Kids Choir serenading the tourists. And of course, the giling giling dance of hubbee and monica!

 

Mactan, Cebu. We really wanted to visit this place because we want to see the Lapu Lapu shrine. So when we had an opportunity, we booked an overnight stay at Be Resort and visited the famous landmark in Cebu, the shrine of Lapu Lapu. We did a little adventure. We chose not to ride a taxi and explore the local transportation in finding the resort. Twas fun! But the best part was the hotel. Such a beautiful boutique resort in Mactan where most of the luxurious resorts in Cebu are located. 

Moalboal, Cebu. It was time for us to check out the southern part of Cebu. On our last trip to Cebu last year, we visited Moalboal known for its diving spots. But our best spotted place was our resort, the Club Serena Resort. We enjoyed our accommodation, our food, and our total stay in that place. We did not enjoy the beach that much but the time spent with hubbee in this place was of course the highlight of it.

Panglao Island, Bohol. This island is known for its beautiful panglao beach because of its white powdery sand. And when we finally had a chance to see its beauty, it was just simply amazing. We liked the beach, most especially during the morning when it was low tide. We had a great time there, took so many pictures and stayed at Lost Horizon Resort. 

This September, we have a booked flight going to Bacolod. And when we purchased that, we both said "finally!". Matagal na kasing nauudlot yung plano namin to visit Bacolod. Pero mukhang di na naman matutuloy kasi nga I'm leaving na. We plan to do Bacolod-Guimaras-Iloilo adventure pa naman sana. Oh well, sa pagbalik na lang siguro. Soon!
