my Trip to Bantayan island
Just last week we were off to the South…It was supposedly to the island of Malapascua but since there was a lot of changes that came along the way we settled for Bantayan Island.
Thanks to the Piso fare of Cebu Pacific…we were supposed to be around 20 plus or something but since it was booked last May, change happens…well, I almost did not make it to this trip coz we had a meeting at Thailand on the same day…but since sabi nga nila pasaway ako I said I will not join..hehehe…I’d choose to have some fun rather than be with my boss…hehehe..
Anyway, off to
Cebu …our flight was 645am…damn! it was really early, I have to wake up before 5am…had met up with Sil who lives in the same area as I am…we arrived just in time at the airport..had a quick breakfast..everyone was I guess sleepy..including myself…I was hoping that the weather was ok in Cebu since it was really raining the past week in
Manila .
Upon arrival, the weather was perfect…we hired a van so it would take us to the ferry station. The driver said it was only an hour from the airport..oh well one hour seems to be…ehem three hours…wow..it was really far! Nakakaloka ang one hour! We arrived at Hagnaya by around 11am and the ferry was already about to leave so we hurriedly bought the tickets…we got the first class…but unluckily for the first class it was not so nice ..hehehe…we were all very hungry and tired…the ride was not so good…nakakahilo and nakakasuffocate…well probably coz we were really starving and tired…
We finally arrived at Bantayan by 130pm…had only crackers..we had to ride a jeep to the resort. Buti na lang maganda yung location ng resot…it was relaxing. Our cottage was located in the beacfront..so we unpacked, took a quick rest oh well not really siguro, I guess we just surveyed the area…at least the place was great.
Now, we have to get ourselved food..as in, we went to the restaurant and was shocked with the price..argh! presyong
Makati ano ba! Imagine a one meal for a person P195.00 anyway we decided to get some food outside the resort…then we settled with the the restaurant DJungle…we ordered chopsuey, sinigang (na may replyo..duh! naconfused yata yung nagluto…) adobo…and rice..we paid almost 300 bucks each..nyak ganun din…eto ang catch the sinigang was P950, the chopsuey was I thin around P700 and I’m not sure about the other meals we ordered but the cost was the same…nakakaloka..and mind you ganun pa pala lahat ng prices nila duon…OMG! tama ba naman yun..buti pa sa Bora you can have a hearty meal for a 100 bucks diba! Anyways, so at least we were ok..pagbalik namin sa resort we just relaxed…ayun natulog, kwentuhan…ala ka na iba magagawa kase walang TV hahahaha..we just stayed there the whole afternoon.
Then the next day, we went off to Virgin Island coz napakalakas ng wave sa Bantayan plus sobra ding daming weeds…So ayun we went off to Virgin Island twas 30 mins away from the place we are..
The place was cool, kami lang nanduon and we had seafoods for lunch and ayun naligo the whole day…we enjoyed the place..and went back around 4pm. We then had our dinner at D’Jungle again, but now it was a buffet dinner.
We left Bantayan at around 900am the next day and off to
Cebu . Now we paid for the third class sa ferry…hehehe…learned our lesson the first time.
Anyway, when we arrived in
Cebu we went to Ayala and ate lunch at around 200pm, had lechon, and my favorite Chinese rice toppings..
sana magkaroon nito sa
Manila , authentic Chinese rice toppings from Dimsum Break…and a whole lot of balat ng lechon hahaha…
We had Starbucks in the afternoon, then we went to Magellan’s cross..again….tour guide ulit..tour guide na d cgurado hahaha…then off to Tabuan to buy some danggit and posit..yum yum…and off to airport..
It was well, relaxing, fun and cool. Hope to have this trip with you again guys…Thanks Kaye, Sil, Jel, Bubbles, Tin, Glady, Ponky, Coney and Mariliza…muah!
