GUIMARAS ISLAND HOPPING

I was disappointed last time na nagpunta ako sa Guimaras. The weather was not cooperative and we end end visiting just one island. How frustrating right?  Buti na lang i still another flight booked going to this island and yes napagbigyan ako sa weather and YEHEY!!  nakatikim na ako ng famous Mangoes nila.. sarap...


This time around we stayed at  RAYMEN RESORT - i choose this resort since accessible cya sa lahat (lalo na sa island hopping).  rates are still the same 450php plus 150 php per hour.

Here are some of the islands we saw and conquered:


SEAFDEC - (Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center) 

Ang lalaki ng mga isda dito as in HUGE!!!  naaliw ako sa tour guide namin dun na si kuya Ramil.. sobrang dami nyang alam sa mga isda.. sabi nga nya his not a scientist but his very knowledgeable sa mga isda kasi ang tagal na rin nya na nagwork dun...  dami ko natutunan kay kuya.  Salamat kuya sa uulitin =)





















kuya Ramil, lai, me and zella

AVE MARIA - love na love ko ang snorkling and this island satisfied my needs for it.  As in ang daming isda, sabi ko kila kuya bangkero we forgot to buy bread, sabi nya di na kailangan, at di na nga kailangan kasi ang dami ng mga isda sa paligid. nakita ko si dory and si nemo... sooo happy =)











 TURTLE ISLAND

Ito ang isla na kung saan nais ko lang lumangoy ng lumangoy...  natupad naman cya.. ang sarap kasi magswim dito.. very fine ang sands tapos ang ganda ng sikat ng araw.. perfect .












BARAS CAVE


this will be one of the best cave ever na narating ko... the formation was great, daming paniki and ang masayang part nun very accessible cya =)















LAI, ME, ZELLA AND ANNE =)  thanks my travel buddies





HAPPY TRAVEL!!!!



ILOILO CHURCHES

It's my third time in Iloilo but it feels like first timer ako.  Why? dahil first time kong pupuntahan ang mga lugar na to.  

Once we arrived at Iloilo airport around 10am, we get a shuttle heading to MOLO.  You can easily find that shuttle coz it's just outside the arrival area.  Hanapin nyo lang ung van na going to Molo that cost  about 50php.  Dadaan din ito ng SM Iloilo but since we need to maximize our time, much better if we head straight to our first destination which is the MOLO CHURCH.

The van will stop on their terminal, from there pwede mong lakarin ung church, (wag maniwala sa mga taxi driver na sasabihin ang layo).  But since mejo mabigat ang dala namin gamit at sobrang init we take a jeepney heading to "VILLA / AREVALO".  You won't missed the church, just tell the driver ibaba kau sa molo plaza or molo simbahan  (magkatapat lang yon)

MOLO church = also called "the feminist church", dahil sa loob nito may mga rebulto ng santo na pawang mga kababaihan lamang.  The church architecture was indeed magnificent.  It has one of the most interesting design i've ever seen.






















Infront of the church they have a cute plaza... 







MIAGAO CHURCH

From Molo church, sakay ka ng jeepney going to San Joaquin and they will drop you dun mismo sa simbahan ng Miagao. Ride was about one hour but behold, ang mga jeepney dito parang killer bus lang so most of the time less than one hour andun ka na =)

One of the four baroque churches in the Philippines that still remains standing strong and proud,  I was amazed by its unique beauty and history.  Kakaiba ang simbahan na to, ung mga carvings sa harap ng church, ung mga poste nya, and kung gaano ito kalaki. 
































I enjoyed church sight seeing whenever i travel and this two churches made my day =)


HAPPY TRAVEL!!!
