ANGUIB BEACH

According to my research.  Anguib beach is the next Boracay but they are all wrong.  It's way better than Boracay.

Before the only way to get there was by boat (1500php) but now since gawa na ung daan, kaya na itong puntahan ng mga tricycle (200php).  Sayang nga lang we do not have that much time to explore the entire beach but what we see is enough to fell in love with it.

The water got blue and turquoise color. The sand is fine and white.  Only few people where there when we arrived.  Cottages are scattered  and also guards. 

It was a private resort kaya naman may fee na 50php, but it was okay.   Going there was indeed very challenging for us and sa boatman namin. Sobrang alon, as in, malala pa ito sa Guimaras Alon at Anawangin  Alon. Ang lalaki kasi eh, ung tipong di ka hihinga kasi ung puso mo mahuhulog na eh.  Sa daming alon na naencounter ko sa buhay ko ito na ang pinaka malaki at malakas sa lahat.  Pero ayos lang sa larangan ng paglalakbay.  Kaya namin ito =)

It was sidetrip for us before going to Cape Engano.  We paid 2500php for the boat and 250php for our guide going to the light house.

HAPPY TRAVEL!!!

HAPPY TRAVEL!!!

PINACANAUAN RIVER

This would be the cleanest and most peaceful river na nakita ko.  Sobrang nakakarelax ang pagbabangka namin sa ilog na ito. Ang linis nya, ang tubig ay sadyang napakalinaw.  

We paid 600php for the boat rental.  According to kuya Joel, usually around 530pm - 6pm ang mga labas ng bats. And thank God talaga at napakaganda ng weather ng araw na yun.

Habang nag aantay, umikot at nagpahinga muna kami sa ilog, dito nakilala namin si Andoy (his life story was showed in MMK). Honestly i do not know the kid but my friend was an avid fan of the show kaya naman nagpapicture din kami.

It's about 6pm ng umpisang lumabas ang mga paniki. We are all amazed kung gaano sila kadami. At sobrang iisang lugar lang ang tinatahak nila.  After around few minutes di ko na sila makita. Now lang ako nakakita ng ganito.  It's indeed more fun in the  Philippines.
