Trip to Guimaras

TREASURES in life are precious properties of each individual, not in the form of money or wealth, expensive cars and decent houses, not in gram of gold or diamond, not in brand new car or a latest model gadgets; its by the memories and experiences in life that are once in a lifetime and one of the kind memoirs; memoirs you will cherish for a lifetime.

Travel is one of my greatest passions in life especially during summer season. I looove the beach, the sea breeze and the summer sun that heats up my skin and the smell of white hues in the sea shore. Don't get me wrong, people out there love it too.


Last April, my office mates invited me to go to Guimaras in their Manggahan Festival, without hesitation I nod and say why not?! Aside from the adventure riding in a vessel called roro which is my first time, I was fascinated of the the idea of going in a naturally rich paradise of TREASURE nestled across the island of Negros.  Adjoining the stretchy more or less 2 and half hours of travel from the boot-shaped island of Negros, passing the island of Ilo-ilo we hurdle to the urge to sleep because it was after our shift when we left Negros . It was 10:00 pm when we docked in the sea port of Guimaras and unexpectedly no transport vehicle is available. There was a "habal-habal" but it only accomodates 3 passengers,  we're 7 and so we declined. It was also a blessing in disguise that there  was a van owned by the tourism department of the Island, so we asked if we can ride even in the back portion of it, which is actually not for human space. So, they asked if it's okay for us..well as if we have a choice, though my principle says NO!, so then a hitched in the back. It cant even accommodate
my extending neck but since we have no choice, GO!.

The night under the moonlit in the seashore of Raymen Beach Resort.

A pose during our island hopping. This was taken inside the famous BARRAS cave which is considered as the hidden treasure of Guimaras Island.

A terrifying experience with the sea turtle in PAWIKAN ISLAND.

I'll skip the part of travel..anyway it did not went there for convenience, i want adventure and summer escapade. The target of our trip is to end up in the Raymen Beach Resort, the little boracay of Guimaras as they call it. We did what a typical summer vacation is; we enjoy the splashing summer water, the beauty of white sand and the summer glare of the sun. It was really fun under the sun. To complete the whole package, we had an island hopping that was great and a jaw-dropping experience for me. Corals are visible under the crystal blue water and whatever sea creatures.LOL..With 3 days break, I was able to give a little pampering experience this summer.
