Gigantes Island '19 ( Bucket list Checked!)





5 years ago i saw this place from of one my fave travel blogger and from then on i said to myself
PUPUNTA AKO DITO!.
tenenggggg! and finally sharing with you my own photos taken from the
 paradise island of Iloilo.
Promise! Ang GANDA!

GIGANTES ISLAND 



we booked a DAY TOUR ISLAND HOPPING PACKAGE 
from Sir Rhette Paul
search nyo lang sa FB. they offer good service and maganda reviews nila :)


Tour starts around 9am
Have your breakfast first 
there are a lot of canteens in the port naman.

      

Approaching the famous Selfie island!
we were the first boat to get there so takbo agad sa taas ng hill para sa opted selfie from the island


AMAZING!

i was speechless!
kahit ang init. wa pakels na

one of the things i realized when traveling is
you got to see it with your own eyes!
bukod sa experienced, sa saya and sa picture.




what you need to BRING
WATER!
sunblock for sunlight protection
snacks while on boat
towels
Sun glass
waterproof bag
and CAMERA!



you can ask the kuya bangkeros to take photos of you.
mababait sila :)






















Little star is Enjoying every sunlight. SUNOG :)











 i was really excited getting to tangke lagoon
Unfortunately the waves are so strong the boat had a hard time getting in the position to park.
so they decided not to continue anymore. 
so maybe i still have reason to go back here! for sure!

heres comes lunch time.

i already researched a lot before so i know what to expect in our tour.
so was really looking forward for this lunch!
and di ako nagkamali
the first time i taste this SCALLOPS 
di ko na tinigilan!
i think i finished 2 plates! 

MY FAVORITE !!

huhu writing this i super miss SCALLOPS from gigantes!

by 3pm we headed back to Bancal Port.



definitely! worth all the hard work and sacrifice
to much needed break from the city.
Enjoy life while you can and share it with your loves.



ANG GANDA NG PILIPINAS <3

The B-I-G Trip + roxas seafoods

The BIG trip finally happened!
for almost 6 months of research and study about our itinerary
Share ko na ang most happy 2019 trip namin sa
BACOLOD - ILOILO - GUIMARAS
with side trip in Roxas City




with the most must try food and places na den yan.
This itinerary is priority to twinkle kasi mahirap pag di na kinaya ung byahe
baka magkasakit lalo di masunod ang iti.

so best places lang ang included which i choose ung talagang gusto naming puntahan from the first place kung bakit iloilo ang kinuha namin na Vacation for 2019.

and Mostly masaya kasi nasunod ung ginawa kong itinerary.

1st Day
0415am- Depart from Manila


0510am- Arrive in Iloilo Airport

We went Straight to the Van transport post
madaming mag approach sayo pag labas ng airport so stay focus.
Van to SM iloilo (50)

Our first would be a day tour in Guimaras
but due to the recent accident about boat transfer.
 only roro's and fast craft are all best way to get to Guimaras.

by 0730am nasa Lapuz port na kami and 0930 na kami nagdepart from the port.
naisip namin mag backout na sa Guimaras due to long wait.
But yes tinuloy pa den nmin so
 HERE WE GO GUIMARAS



10am - 2pm - GUIMARAS DAY TOUR

we went back to Iloilo then on to Bacolod fast craft by 5pm

6pm - arrived in BACOLOD PORT with the beautiful Sunset

I booked tru Airbnb for our 2 days accomodation in Bacolod
which is the best thing i did after searching and searching for an affordable but child friendly home we can stay. There are hotels and inns everywhere.
but AIRBNB accomodation is super over the expectation.
Ang ganda talaga. twinkle even said doon nalang daw kami magstay. haha
sharing it in the next few days :)

so after that exhausting day 1 imagine our tired feet
but nevertheless its now or never.
so make it memorable one.

After settling our things
we went out for dinner.
Gutom na kami and we are looking forward na agad for the Seafoods and Chicken inasal .

Imay's Restaurant
Steamed TALABA (120 per order)
