Dagmay, El Nido

I had been wanting to see the tip of El Nido town, because I wondered if karst mountains were also visible in the area.

My fiancé and I reached the town's Sitio Dagmay, Bgy. Tiniguiban, and the answer to my curiosity is, THEY AREN'T. No karst mountains there, but white beaches do exist. 😍

One of the beaches in the bgy. is the Verde Safari Beach.

You can have the beach all by yourself! There were no tourists when we got there, but just one couple (tourists) arrived in the area after few minutes. They were just having a joy ride and found this place on Google map.

Like us, their curiosity also got them there. Hahaha 

But aside from enjoying the beach, we also enjoyed walking around the vicinity and saw some stuffs that particularly amazed me! ☺️

Isn' t it wow?!? It's very traditional and it's so amazing! :) 💓

 I just found this fat rooster very cute!

Di bah? Ang gwapo nya! Hahaha

And look at these cuties!!! 

By the way, I am not a cat lover nor a hater. Hehehe I just found them cute altogether in that one isolation area. 😁

Heads up, if you're interested to visit this place, you will experience an approximately 25-minute rough ride, but the whole ride takes  about an hour from El Nido town proper. 

Since it has been raining a lot these days, expect a road like this. Thus, better travel here on sunny days. ☺️ 

Although, I was a bit scared of the muddy and slippery roads, I was relieved by the  views while walking around the vicinity. 

The green fields and the cute carabao.

That was our yesterday's road trip!

Until then, stay safe and healthy! 🙏 ❤️ 

Bigaho Beach x Bigaho Falls

In Sitio Bigaho, Bgy. Port Barton, there lie a very cool waterfall and a white sandy beach! Approximately 30 minutes by a motorbike from Bgy. Poblacion, you get to see one of the good places in town!

But, do you believe in the line that goes... Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations? 

This is one of those good examples!🙂

Before you reach the place, you have to experience a rough ride, sometimes, since I guess about 30% of the road going to Sitio Bigaho is not completely concrete yet.

Welcome to Bigaho Beach! 

The fact is, we're so glad that after months of thinking to visit Kuya Fredo and his family's place, finally, it happened!😄

During our visit, we'd learned how to cook "pagi" or stingray. Ate Michelle showed us her recipe of fried stingray. 

Yummy 😋. We had them for lunch. 

We enjoyed looking for seashells that we could bring home, and my fiancé enjoyed his fishing even under the rain.

Not bad!😄

... There was a "beautiful sunset" after the rain... 🎶🎶

       Then....dinner was served! 

#slipperlobsters #crabs

  #Nocampfire during the night and it was good. Mother Earth wouldn't complain to us.hehehe 

And this was how we camped, with a mosquito net! 😆

The next day, you can enjoy the waterfalls!

 For only Twenty Pesos as entrance fee, you get to have a cool and refreshing bath in the midst of a forest.

#trekkingtime is only about 15-20 min

So, ano na guys?!? 

Mag Bigaho na! ☺️

Puting Bato @Lutopan, Toledo City, Cebu

Mountain climbing is something I got interested in when I first overcame my fear of heights. But our climb to Puting Bato was an unexpected one, that we were not able to wear even a proper footwear.

👣The ascent

After about a 25-minute trek from the national highway, this was still pretty okay for the knees. 👌 

 But then..... Surprisingly! 

Still thinking of backing out or not? 😂 

      Go go go! 💪 

   We (only 3 of us) never thought the climb would be like that. 

     No retreat, no surrender!             💪 😅

     Finally reached the peak! 

     Down below 👇 

When you're on top, you can see the mining industry in the area, Carmen Copper Corporation (CCC). 

     Relaxing on top while              entertaining calls and        checking phone messages.

👣The descent

We knew we were quite mean during that moment. We laughed so hard since his knees were shaking a lot  that he badly needed assistance. We really couldn't control our laugh that's why we tried to console him by also laughing at the situation. 😂

Groufie after the climb😊

The trek + the climb is more or less an hour only, depending on your phase. 

No entrance fee, since it isn't yet developed, but you'll have to find  a local guide especially if you're not from the area.
