It's known for its stunning white-sand beaches, crystal clear waters, and vibrant aquatic life. It is an excellent destination for those seeking to escape the city life's hustle and bustle. With its laid-back atmosphere, Moalboal offers a perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of a coastal town in the Philippines.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I was in Moalboal Cebu for a week, and there were a lot of changes in the process of guests visiting the place. Dropping by first in the tourism office to be documented is a new thing. It is mainly due to the pandemic and the typhoon that hit the Visayas area recently and damaged the tourist destinations in Cebu, which includes the Moalboal area. Fortunately, the town's local government works for hand in hand to repair the damages and recover from the losses that these events affected the town's tourist destinations.</div><p>Below are helpful informations to help you plan your Moalboal Cebu travel preparations. So sit down, relax, and read on!</p><p><br /></p><div class="mbtTOC">

The requirement is only applied to unvaccinated travelers that are asked to take a COVID-19 test at least 24 hours before the scheduled trip to Cebu.</p><p>Below travel requirements may be implemented by towns in Cebu based on a previous executive order of the Province of Cebu.</p><p>Visitors from the Philippines or non-Cebu residents are welcome to visit the Province of Cebu, including Moalboal, so long as they adhere to the following travel requirements and COVID-19 safety protocols:</p><p>According to Executive Order No. 12 of the Province of Cebu, tourists entering the province must have the following documents:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>A reservation confirmation from a recognized hotel or resort in the province of Cebu</li><li>Pass the initial screening or examination for symptoms</li><li>A credible doctor must give a valid medical certificate within seven days of the travel date</li></ul><p></p><p>All of these will be checked by the tourism office, which you will drop by the first thing you reach the town to visit.</p><p></p><p><br /></p></div><div><h2>Best Time to Go to Moalboal Cebu</h2><h3 style="text-align: left;">Best time to visit for Diving, Snorkeling, and most of sea activities</h3><p>The dry season, known as summer locally that runs from December to May is the ideal time to visit Moalboal if you want to dive or snorkel. The waters are quiet and transparent at this time of year, making it simpler to see the diverse marine species for which Moalboal is known. Sunken Island, Basdaku Beach, and Pescador Island are some of the most well-liked diving locations. This is the ideal season for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts to explore the island's diverse underwater ecosystem because the visibility is frequently more significant than 30 meters.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDf13LZR7eZT-gQckkLXE6f26WhCK5wtzlpbmrSgpupflILkRU2hzwijpYMjUK_Jlam7s8gL7QiY0zoCpJYWgX8WfFtKfvd3nsw8foIzWD0O5bGcRlA-1dlUvG5Nx6NFp6X8t9wQOVf5chwR0PmxqJne5eAbgIem6YD6lN_tNY_42KQH1ysNRyMpeB/s896/Moalboal-Cebu-White-Beach.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="View of the beauty of White Beach in Moalboal" border="0" data-original-height="672" data-original-width="896" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDf13LZR7eZT-gQckkLXE6f26WhCK5wtzlpbmrSgpupflILkRU2hzwijpYMjUK_Jlam7s8gL7QiY0zoCpJYWgX8WfFtKfvd3nsw8foIzWD0O5bGcRlA-1dlUvG5Nx6NFp6X8t9wQOVf5chwR0PmxqJne5eAbgIem6YD6lN_tNY_42KQH1ysNRyMpeB/w640-h480/Moalboal-Cebu-White-Beach.webp" title="Moalboal Cebu White Beach" width="640" /></a></div><p><br /></p></div><div><h2 style="text-align: left;">What to Do in Moalboal Cebu</h2><p style="text-align: left;"></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span>1.

It's such a hassle to look for a place to stay on the day of arrival in the town, especially on holidays and weekends when most businesses are fully booked.</li><li style="text-align: left;">Make sure to bring cash. Though some ATMs are in the town, it often becomes offline or empty, so better safe than sorry.</li><li style="text-align: left;">Renting a motorcycle is recommended if you want to go around town and check free diving locations or beaches.</li><li style="text-align: left;">If you have your diving gear, bringing it might be a good idea, especially if you stay for several days and plan to do the activity daily. Renting equipment daily adds up and can be a hassle on the budget.</li><li style="text-align: left;">For budget travelers, choosing a place to stay where you can cook would be a good idea to save some expenses from going outside for food.</li></ol></div><div><p><br /></p></div><h2>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</h2><h4>1.

<br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">About Mt. Kang-irag</h2><p>Mt. Kang-irag, also known as Sirao Peak and mispronounce as Mt. Kan-irag by many climbing enthusiasts in Cebu, is a mountain located in barangay Sirao, Cebu. It has an elevation of 735 meters above sea level and offers a stunning view of the city and nearby mountains. </p><p>The mountain is a popular destination for hikers, trekkers, and campers due to its accessibility and scenic beauty.</p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Best Time to Camp at Mt. Kang-irag</h2><p>The best time to camp at Mt. Kang-irag is during the dry season, which starts from December and ends in May. The weather is usually dry and cool at night during this time, making it perfect for outdoor activities like camping. However, it's important to check the weather forecast before going on your trip to avoid unexpected rain.</p><p>Do note that weekend camping could be a bit crowded and can be a tad noisy at times. I recommend to schedule your camping on a weekday if you can do so to enjoy more of the campsite experience.</p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Where to Camp at Mt. Kang-irag</h2><p>There are two known camping areas at Mt. Kang-irag, the most popular one is the one in the summit. It's a not-too-flat area surrounded by bushes and some small tress and offers a stunning view of the city. But the area now was closed by the land owner. No one is allowed to trek to nor camp in the summit anymore.</p><p>Another option is the camping area a few hundred meters below the summit facing the city, which is now known as Mt. Kang-irag Campsite. The area still shows a magnificent view of the city same as the summit but of course, with lesser elevation.</p><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Camping/ Entrance fee: <span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">₱</span><span>70<br /></span></li><li>Small Hut (Kubo): <span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">₱</span>300</li><li>Room w/ Cooking Area: <span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">₱</span>1000</li></ul><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIL-r02dxWWKqGKl4zG1l_tcAftG30FJD-NA-BBXYgOeCCeWHIM9xM0m0mGj9eRzrA_pp52LIrS2kZHCBfJYofu1GbEd7GlmK1fPEPfmzGLfwYm4nR_giilRNfvw-sZBKifea6OzimhlOE1O6pQxlU7f27dUbOktej_hHVzFnY3yE_oyjS5yFCNbB/s960/Kubo-on-the-edge-of-campsite-overlooking-the-city.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kubo on the edge of campsite overlooking the city in a beautiful day" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipIL-r02dxWWKqGKl4zG1l_tcAftG30FJD-NA-BBXYgOeCCeWHIM9xM0m0mGj9eRzrA_pp52LIrS2kZHCBfJYofu1GbEd7GlmK1fPEPfmzGLfwYm4nR_giilRNfvw-sZBKifea6OzimhlOE1O6pQxlU7f27dUbOktej_hHVzFnY3yE_oyjS5yFCNbB/w640-h480/Kubo-on-the-edge-of-campsite-overlooking-the-city.webp" title="Kubo on the edge of campsite overlooking the city" width="640" /></a></div><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">What to Bring When Camping at Mt.

On the first day, we don't have other plans aside from settling down in a hostel that my wife booked ahead on the island. We were just about to finish tidying our bags when we arrived at the place, and freshen up a bit before having dinner somewhere nearby when one of her colleagues working at Panglao Airport invited us for dinner that night at a place called Ubeco. She told us that the restaurant is known to most Korean tourists and love the place because they find the food and experience really satisfying.</p><p><b>Ubeco in Panglao, Bohol</b> is one of the many foreign-owned establishments on the island. Its name was derived from the combination of two known local ingredients "<i>ube</i>" and "<i>coconut</i>", which results in the unique name Ubeco. This restaurant has a very modern minimalist setup, which was very refreshing to see in this otherwise very tropical setting on the island.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxT6_v6Y04lOi3Frc27V-ve3XruWLC7ptchSDT3jI8IzK7w1OKYWFI9umtX5tKAK2M1ddUP3qGRMm71KkhVzpAry-4WMFrb48Nxy3g8A0_f8W0FAldRDrMg70HwUQ65VdM-lV3OyOWs_v5MDAceDKzuZ7Jb9ydvFDpiXrHGCjD4y8CMm6PSAuYake_/s640/20221026_062416_0000.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Ubeco restaurant building front at night" border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxT6_v6Y04lOi3Frc27V-ve3XruWLC7ptchSDT3jI8IzK7w1OKYWFI9umtX5tKAK2M1ddUP3qGRMm71KkhVzpAry-4WMFrb48Nxy3g8A0_f8W0FAldRDrMg70HwUQ65VdM-lV3OyOWs_v5MDAceDKzuZ7Jb9ydvFDpiXrHGCjD4y8CMm6PSAuYake_/s16000/20221026_062416_0000.png" title="Ubeco in Pangalao Bohol" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>When we arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly staff who asked us for how many persons and immediately brought us to a vacant table.

Why not try the <b>Hermit's Cove in Aloguinsan, Cebu</b>? </div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why is it called "Hermit Cove"? When you arrive at the destination, you will understand why. The place is a remote area, the journey there might be a little bit long and difficult but totally worth it. According to locals, a hermit used to live on this beach a hundred years ago, surviving all the challenges of both the ocean and the mountains.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most of the locals are fisherfolks who rely on the bounty of the ocean to live. Taking care of the place is another source of income for some. You'll definitely love it here, like a hermit crab who lives alone, you will feel sheltered here, just you and nature. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Remote & Secluded Beach Vibe</h2><div style="text-align: justify;">The area is not yet developed or people there like it that way to preserve the history of the place. There are no restaurants and recreational activities like other beach destinations. So expect a laid-back, off-the-grid experience especially if you're lucky enough to visit on a weekday and there's no other guest but you to enjoy the wholeness of the place. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPRCfIwVR893Dds4_qE986UMIC6bhy5VszCWhA-2yaEzW62eDSPRlvZrwaSD-YmO3ZKvoDqBs6haBxoyqckzoOcWRF2NYo0vADsDtzcvmKqmEo8U6vHW40sJ0gfOA07yKo2Zo8ZfwlXw4/s640-rw/Hermit%2527s+Cove%252C+Aloguinsan%252C+Cebu+entrance.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Hermit's Cove stair entrance" border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPRCfIwVR893Dds4_qE986UMIC6bhy5VszCWhA-2yaEzW62eDSPRlvZrwaSD-YmO3ZKvoDqBs6haBxoyqckzoOcWRF2NYo0vADsDtzcvmKqmEo8U6vHW40sJ0gfOA07yKo2Zo8ZfwlXw4/s16000/Hermit%2527s+Cove%252C+Aloguinsan%252C+Cebu+entrance.jpg" title="Hermit's Cove Entrance" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Entrance going down to the Cove.</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The travel going to the location from Aloguinsan proper might get a little rough in whatever vehicle you are in.

HOW TO GET THERE?</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>LOCATION:</b> Brgy. Compostela, Alegria, Cebu<br />
<br />
<b>BY BUS:</b> From Cebu City, take a Barili route bus in Cebu South Bus Terminal. The bus ride may take 3-4 hours depending on the traffic, I suggest you start the trip early in the morning to avoid traffic. Drop off at Sangi and from there you will have to take a 30-45 minutes habal-habal ride going to the Falls.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>BY CAR:</b> Just search "Cangkalanog Falls, Alegria, Cebu" in Waze or Google Maps. Do note that the spot is a few kilometers from the main road in the area and only accessible by motorcycle. No available parking space for 4-wheel drive.</div>

I'm a self-proclaimed adventurous guy! Haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, we've gone to the place to check out their outdoor adventure activities, but I was surprised that even the travel going there is also one heck of an adventure. Traversing mountains while going up and down a narrow road with the cliff on the other side is such kind of an adventure but the best part is you've got to experience nature at its best. No pollution, no noises from vehicles, and definitely no crowded people.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Sky Biking</h2><div style="text-align: justify;">A 200-meter-long cable bike. This may seem to look easy but when you're actually doing it, surely it's scary. Especially if the wind suddenly blows when you're pedaling right in the middle part of the cable. If you're somewhat afraid of heights, I won't suggest this activity even if there's a safety harness and all to secure you in the cable because once you're up there, you'll definitely have a knee-shaking experience. </div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-3n2EOTjkgX7xJkPe9199Zra0-y2hWbb3CKYRMqFxJxx9w7fDyu9jLm2a_WREZXTVY4u4Z0Xt4wfLCVWIVQDMsB7HVNcbz7LiGFm7vyza-arlNbGvWnCkNoGrKzaK-wafd5LzBhBVpXQ/s640-rw/Danasan_Sky+Bike.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Biyahero Jai and Jane on Skybike" border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-3n2EOTjkgX7xJkPe9199Zra0-y2hWbb3CKYRMqFxJxx9w7fDyu9jLm2a_WREZXTVY4u4Z0Xt4wfLCVWIVQDMsB7HVNcbz7LiGFm7vyza-arlNbGvWnCkNoGrKzaK-wafd5LzBhBVpXQ/w640-h360/Danasan_Sky+Bike.jpg" title="Danasan Eco Adventure Park" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

GO Karting</h2><div style="text-align: justify;">This is not our first of this activity, we've tried the Go Kartzone track in Mabolo, Cebu so maneuvering the kart is somewhat easy but what's new is the dirt track in Danasan Eco Adventure Park. Below photo looks fresh overall but after an 8-lap race on the dirt track, thick dust is already forming on our face and body.

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Wakeboarding</h2><div style="text-align: justify;">I was excited to try out their wakeboarding facility. It's said to be the first wakeboarding facility in Cebu. I'm a newbie in the sport but I've tried wakeboarding before in Papa Kits in Lilo-an, Cebu. It was my first time and it was totally a nice experience. But the wakeboarding facility there is a bit short in range, was crowded at that time, and not so budget-friendly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaiYaL-dwI9snw7aghjZviF9mbUXU-Zw7m5_ycH5pI-TZgCzREP5tJ0gMAXUFI_rLzrhh28ZTF_3VuMjh4HpcND8OpXrqsz90P1J28NyCPbtKSCC7RxGMnfhcUos1ULa-r5LEcZbrpv8o/s640-rw/Danasan_Wakeboarding.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Biyahero Jai trying wakeboarding" border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaiYaL-dwI9snw7aghjZviF9mbUXU-Zw7m5_ycH5pI-TZgCzREP5tJ0gMAXUFI_rLzrhh28ZTF_3VuMjh4HpcND8OpXrqsz90P1J28NyCPbtKSCC7RxGMnfhcUos1ULa-r5LEcZbrpv8o/w640-h360/Danasan_Wakeboarding.jpg" title="Danasan Eco Adventure Park" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The wakeboarding experience in Danasan Eco Adventure Park was totally awesome. The fee was almost less than half the fee in Papa Kits and we were given 2 hours to enjoy the activity. The most awesome part is that we've had the facility for ourselves only that time. All muscles were aching around my body but the muscle-aching activity was worth it. I will definitely go back and wear out my muscles more. Hahaha</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">That pretty much concludes this trip Biyaheros! I'll get in touch with you on my next trip.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><h2>HOW TO GET THERE?</h2><div><b>LOCATION:</b> Brgy. Danasan, Danao, Cebu<br /><br /><b>BY BUS/HABAL-HABAL:</b> From Cebu City, take a PUJ/bus bound for Danao in the Cebu North Bus Terminal. Get off from the bus in Danao proper and from there take a habal-habal going to Danasan. The bus ride may take an hour or so, depending on the traffic and habal-habal ride takes another hour. <br /><br /></div><div><b>BY CAR:</b> Just search "Danasan Eco Adventure Park" in Waze or Google Maps. I suggest you check first your car or vehicle if it's up for a long ride to avoid hassle and accidents on the road.

<span style="text-align: justify;">Most people are thinking of escaping their busy and hurried everyday routine, away from stress and headaches, work deadlines, and reports. Most of these people end up relaxing on a beautiful beach with a scenic view of the sea in front or splashing and enjoying a cold dip in a waterfall.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And as for me, I want to do something else, something that's out of my usual getaway and travels. Then I remember a friend talking about <b>Mt. Naupa in City of Naga, Cebu,</b> and invited me to overnight camping there. That sounds to be a good idea to realize. Never tried overnight camping on a summit before. This was my first!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
<b>The Trek Up Mt. Naupa</b></h2>
The drop-off for the trek up Mt. Naupa is in Cogon Chapel in Brgy. Cogon in the City of Naga. Local guides and porters are on standby in the area waiting for visitors. If you've been there or someone in the group knows the trail, I think it's not mandatory to hire a guide. Though, you might want to get a porter to lighten up your load during the trek.<br />

The hike going to the campsite is a good 45 minutes to 1-hour easy trek. Just a couple of minor slopes and no major ascends. A bit rocky in some areas but it's an easy hike overall!</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">The hardest part during the hike is the last 100 meters where you can feel the exhaustion getting into you while hiking up a slope. But no worries, the view at the top is jaw-dropping you will forget you are catching you're breathing. That statement is a bit exaggerating to hear for seasoned climbers but it is jaw-dropping for first-timers like me. Haha!</span></div>

After the short photo op, we then set up our tents. What we had that time were beach tents which are basically not good for camping in mountains. The good thing is the weather was fine with no chances of raining in the evening. Though the cold environment and the cold air at night are a bit tough for a beach tent to handle. It really was chilly! </div>

HOW TO GET THERE?</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>BY JEEPNEY:</b> From Cebu City, take a jeepney going Basak. From Basak, take a jeepney with a route Minglanilla-Naga and inform the driver to drop you off the crossing just before the Boys Town in Minglanilla. Look for a habal2x that will take you to the Cogon chapel near the bakery in the crossing.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>BY CAR:</b> Just search "Cogon Chapel, Naga, Cebu" in Waze or Google Maps. Parking space is available in front of the Cogon Chapel.</div>

Summer is again approaching and I bet you're already planning a getaway with your loved ones, friends, or family perhaps. That goes the same with The Biyahero guys! I'm already excited for summer to come and in fact, I've already started summer this early in one of Cebu's underrated ecotourism destinations,<b> Olango Island in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu</b>.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Olango Island is approximately 5 kilometers east of Mactan Island and one can reach the island by motor banca in more or less 30 minutes. The Angasil Wharf and the wharf near Movenpick Hotel have trips going to the island daily, scheduled every hour.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I prefer taking the Angasil Wharf because it's closer and travel time is lesser compared to the wharf near Movenpick Hotel. Arrived in the wharf 10 minutes before 10:00am, bought a ticket for the next motor banca, and boarded the trip which departed at 10:30am. We arrived in Santa Rosa wharf 5 minutes past 11:00am and the first thing to do is find transportation to take us to places we want to check out around the island.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The island has two means of transportation, the <i>habal-habal</i> and the tricycle (a habal-habal with a sidecar). I approached a tricycle driver to discuss the places we want to check out and make an itinerary based on its location and after just 10 minutes we agreed on the itinerary of the 4 places/activities and the fare.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Entrance fee: <span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14.6667px; text-align: left;">₱</span>15<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The first stop is a tourism park in a coastal part of the island. The Island Eco-Tourism Park is a place of relaxation. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life even for a day, this place is right for you. Quiet, serene, and a secluded place on the island where no one will disturb you.</div>

After enjoying the ecotourism park in Brgy. Sabang, we were off to Brgy. Talima for our second stop. Cycling is another activity you can enjoy on Olango Island. In fact, you can roam around the island with just a bicycle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our driver leads us to a store at the back of Candagsao Elementary School where bicycles are available for rent. We were handed mountain bikes and after just a few minutes we were on the road pedaling our way to the northern part of Olango Island. After 15 minutes of sunbathing, opss I mean pedaling, we reach Bantigue in Brgy. Tingo, a coastal brgy. in the northern part of the island.</div>

The ride is a bit tiring so we rested for a while before going back to Candagsao in Brgy. Talima. I'm pretty sure you'll be awed by the scenic view of the sea in front of us. The crystal clear water and the color of the sea will make you stay for a moment and stare at a distance. </div>

The Olango Wildlife Sanctuary is more than a hectare of sandflats and mangroves which serves as a refuge for thousands of migratory birds during the winter season in Siberia, Northern China, and Japan. This reserve was proclaimed a protected area in 1992 and was recognized as 1st site in the Philippines with a wetland of international importance, especially as a waterfowl habitat.</div>

The best time for birdwatching is late afternoon from 4:00pm to 6:00pm as per the attendant in the reception area. Unfortunately, we were too early since we arrived just past 2:00pm but still, I had the opportunity to see a few egrets flying back and forth near the observation deck and some other species of birds that I don't recognize, ahahaha.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our last stop, the San Vicente Marine Sanctuary. We arrived around 3:00pm and it's pretty quiet. It's Monday so there are not many people in the place now compared to weekends. And we're in good timing because it's low tide, the best time for a snorkel. Apparently, most of the visitors come here to purely enjoy swimming rather than snorkel. Maybe they're not into discovering the underwater world.</div>

To go to the activity area of the marine sanctuary, we need to walk down a 500-meter bamboo boardwalk that goes into a mangrove forest. The walk is actually enjoyable because signboards are placed on each kind of mangroves with their scientific name, not to mention the scenic view while you're approaching the sea.</div>

We opt for fish feeding and snorkel activity. We were handed snorkel gears and were told a patrol boat is waiting at the end of the boardwalk to take us to the fish feeding area.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't get enough with the fish feeding activity and literally swimming with the fishes but we have to stop to get ready to go back to Mactan Island. We were done with our activity around 4:00pm. We're off to Santa Rosa wharf and that pretty much concludes this trip.</div>

How to Get to Olango Island</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>BY JEEPNEY:</b> From Cebu City, take a jeepney going Parkmall. In Parkmall PUJ terminal, take a jeepney with a route Mactan-Maribago and inform the driver to drop you off in Mactan New Town. Look for a tricycle in the barangay road on the right side of Mactan New Town that will take you to Angasil Port. Finally, take a motor banca to Santa Rosa, Olango island, your drop-off point in your Olango Island adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alternatively, you can take a ferry from Pier 3 in Cebu City that's bound to Opon or at the back of Island Central and from there, take a jeepney going to Mactan New Town.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>BY CAR:</b> Search "Angasil Port" in Waze or Google Maps. Parking space is limited in Angasil Port because of its small area. Alternatively, you find a parking space in Mactan New Town and then rides a tricycle going to Angasil Port.</div>

<br />
An early October trip to Samboan, Cebu made the month a challenging one. It's a waterfall exploring trip to one of Cebu's known towns for waterfalls exploring adventure. Our first stop is a waterfall system known to many as <b>Aguinid Waterfalls</b>.<br />
<br />
Aguinid Waterfalls is located at Brgy. Tangbo, Samboan, Cebu in the southernmost tip of Cebu. A waterfall system with a total of 8 levels or drops. It was just recently that levels 6 to 8 were opened to the public since they have to conduct a couple of test climb on level 5, the highest and the hardest part to climb to simulate safety measures during the climb.<br />
<br />

<br />The starting point to level 2 is an easy trek. At level 3 you'll sweat if you're not into climbing a limestone formation with rushing water streaming down. But worry no more because they already installed cables/ropes for visitors to hold during the climb. Well in every adventure you'll have to put safety first!<br />

Level 4 is a beauty but level 5 has the spotlight in this waterfall system. A grand limestone formation with water dripping all over it. Well, it's also the hardest part to climb as I mentioned earlier in this post. Pros and cons altogether!<br />
<br />
Another nice activity in level 5 is the fish spa. You just have to sit in the lower part of the pool and wait for the tickling to start. 1 minute and I'm done! I have a low tolerance for such feelings.<br />

<br />
Level 6 is another hard climb. Assist from the guide is needed in climbing and be always careful on where to step because it's a slippery climb. Safety first, remember!<br />
<br />
Our guide's suggestion for a faster and easier climb in Aguinid Waterfalls is to follow their lead and always obey instructions from them. They've climbed the waterfall system almost every day, they're the experienced and knowledgeable people in the area, and they've entrusted the safety of every guest/visitor given to them to handle. We trek up, we followed our guide and we're safe so basically, it's just a play of submissive for your safety.<br />

While composing this blog post I was thinking about the difficult part in conquering <b>Aguinid Waterfalls in Samboan, Cebu</b>. Good thing they have well-trained and experienced guides to assist visitors in the trek up from level 1 to 8. The activity is a must for adventure seekers and barkada getaways.<br />
<br />
It's a challenging yet fun adventure and time well spent!<br /><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's weekend travel down south of Cebu. Summer is fast approaching and I'm starting to think of some places to cool down. This time I'm going to try out refreshing cold water in <b>Mantayupan Falls</b> in Barili, Cebu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's actually a little backpacking adventure with Jane. We planned to be in Barili, Cebu early in the morning so that we can go head back to the city early in the afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Had our bus ride going Barili around six o'clock in the morning. With approximately 3 hours travel time, the expected arrival in the town will be around nine o'clock. The weather was not so good early that day. It's a bit cloudy and a big chance of having a rain shower anytime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We arrived past nine o'clock and with no pure luck, rain shower started to pour as we rode a <i>habal-habal </i>(motorcycle for hire) going to Mantayupan Waterfalls. As we are approaching the place, the rain shower stopped and later the sun rays started to come out from the clouds. No drama. it's actually what happened. Hahah, lucky us!</div>

You'll pass a small basin while trekking up the main drop with several mini waterfalls pouring in. I was wondering why these drops are so small thinking the main is one big of a drop. I had my answer when we reach the main drop. They've created a waterway on the left side and obstructing the water flow on the right going to the mini waterfalls. Question answered!<br />

On the main drop of <b>Mantayupan Waterfalls</b> is a rocky surface with nothing but rocks (ano daw? hahaha). I mean that there are no cottages or some sort of built shade for the visitors. If you planned on staying there for a while, you'll have to rent a table and chairs. And don't forget the umbrella for sun or rain protection. Had my umbrella in the above photo.</div>

The water is refreshingly cold, I mean so cold. I was not expecting to go swimming in iced water. I think exaggerating already, hahaha. I suggest you try it for yourself and tell me if we have the same feeling.</div>

Bamboo rafting is another activity you can do in <b>Mantayupan Waterfalls</b>. Go push yourself against the water current and go nearer the drop but I tell you, it's not as easy as you think. I had so many difficulties maneuvering the bamboo raft against the water current but so much fun thing to do.<br /><br />

We're in the middle of March and the weather is getting warm. This is a sign that summer is approaching. Yeah, summer and I know what you are thinking! Beach? Pool? Spring? Falls? Getting somewhere to subjugate the getting-hotter-each-day weather?<br />
<br />
Well, yes! Thinking about getting wet under the sun gets me excited. The sun-tanned body is in!<br />
<br />
I've had TFNSummer2k15 kick-off last Saturday in <b>Hidden Valley Mountain Resort</b> in Lamac, Pinamungajan, Cebu. It's a very secluded resort that you need to travel 20-30 minutes in a motorcycle for hire (<i>habal-habal</i>) going up and down mountains. But I'm sure you will like the experience!<br />
<br />

<br />
We arrived in <b>Hidden Valley Mountain Resort</b> around 4 o'clock in the afternoon with no booked reservation. We're not able to get a reservation because the communication system in the resort is weak. The signal is on and off so we can't get in their line for a reservation. So we tried our luck going there without any reservation ahead.<br />
<br />
The lady in the reception smiled at us as we step inside and directly ask if we had a reservation then said sorry cause the resort is already fully booked. I actually hoped for one vacant room because if there's none we'd be heading back home at dark sorry for the time and effort wasted and what the lady said came to me like a bomb.<br />
<br />
Okay! We don't have a reservation, there's no vacant room, there's nothing left to do, it'll get dark in an hour or two so we're really going home. Another lady came then ask about the situation, later we knew that she's the wife of the chairman of Lamac Cooperative managing the resort. She offered their rest house to us for Php3,000. Yes, we're not going home! It's actually a nice bargain, the house is in the middle of the resort and the wave pool facility.<br />
<br />
Below are some photos of the wave pool facility in <b>Hidden Valley Mountain Resort</b>. The facility opens from 7AM till 10PM. The wave is activated for 30 minutes then stops for 30 minutes. Basically for 30 minutes intervals as I observed it if I'm not mistaken.<br />

So now I'm having this post featuring <b>Molocaboc Island</b> in Sagay City, Negros Occidental. I know it's a little late but anyway it's still a good share. Enjoy the post!<br />
<br />
To reach the island we ride a motor banca from Vito port. It's a 20 to 30 minutes ride and takes longer depending on the weather.<br />
<br />
The weather at that time is so unpredictable. When we're in the port, the sun was up and the blow of wind is normal, a great day easily said but when we're halfway to <b>Molocaboc Island</b>, the weather suddenly changes strong wind, the rain starts pouring and worst, the big waves are utterly scary. Though I enjoyed the ride, hahaha!<br />

Just how rich this island in marine resources? Surrounding the island is a marine sanctuary and is well maintained. The photos below are some I've got on the shore and the shells we've bought there. And it's cheap!<br />

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I've planned on having a backpacking adventure in the south of Cebu together with Jane last Saturday, September 13, 2014. But we had a last-minute changed of the plan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Her sister told her that they're going to try a newly launched resort in Mandaue City that same day. So the backpacking plan is going to be postponed. And the good thing is I was invited to join them. Hahaha, shoot!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The newly launched resort that Jane's sister ate Jona is referring to is <b>Cebu Westown Lagoon </b>that is located in the heart of Mandaue City. The entrance of the resort is beside MO2 Resto Bar and occupies the entire back portion of the bar. Though the resort is not that big, kids will surely love their kiddie water park. They had their soft-launching last August 25, 2014, and the grand launching was September 12, 2014, the day before we were there.</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">That day was such a gloomy day. The weather is so cloudy and sometimes had a rain-stop-rain event that makes the gloomy weather more gloomy. Hahaha, what's with the more gloomy? I guess that's way more gloomy than me. ^^</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyways, we came early that day, we arrived in <b>Cebu Westown Lagoon</b> around 7:30 in the morning. Great cause I've got a lot of time taking photos to include in this blog post without people crowding the place. Though the sky is a little dark because of the not-so-good weather, the place still looks great.</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Last week, I had a little adventure in Mabolo, Cebu City. It's a Saturday and no work so I decided to make the best out of the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have this odd feeling of "doing something and going somewhere" on the day but I'm not sure what and where. I'm really getting strange sometimes, haha! Well, to aid that odd feeling, I've thought of an activity I'd like to try and a place I want to visit in the same place, and Mabolo popped up in my mind. I remembered this old plan of going to Rainforest Park and try out Go Kart Zone which is at the same place, in Panagdait, Mabolo. Great!</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I invited Jane, my travel partner in Badian escapade the previous week if you've checked my previous post. She's up to such activities also but there is a little problem for her, she will be baby setting her niblings on that day. I don't really mind if there are kids around so I told her to bring the kids with her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And talking about the kids, they're cute, crazy, funny, and chubby kids. Look how healthy they are in the photo below. Ooops! Did I say healthy? I think it's the wrong word, hahaha! Peace Bai Janus and Ate Sheena!</div>

The <b>Rainforest Park Cebu</b> is located at Panagda-it, Mabolo just in front of CIE International School and beside the old Paseo. We arrive in Park around 2:00PM. After paying the entrance fee, it's time to roam this little park in Mabolo.<br />

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I have known San Fernando, Cebu as a place with no white sand beaches. But to compensate for such flaws are the beautiful mountain resorts. Hidden Paradise, Singli, and Tophills are such mountain resorts. Though the beaches in San Fernando are not that great, they still have to say when it comes to resorts near the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pulchra Resort in San Isidro, San Fernando is known as a luxury resort in the south of Cebu. With class accommodation and high-end facilities, the resort is liked by its foreign guests. I couldn't afford this place, at least for now. Hahaha!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another soon-to-be launch and what this post is all about is the new resort in San Fernando, <b>Paulo Luna Resort & Spa</b>. Though the place is nothing like Pulchra Resort, Paulo Luna Resort offers a relaxing experience at an affordable price. The resort is not officially open, they're still working on the final touches of the place but it is already accepting guests and visitors.</div>

Overnight staying is not a problem in the resort because they have nice-looking rooms. The room rate ranges from 2 - 5 thousand pesos. I've asked a personnel there about how many people the 2 thousand pesos room can accommodate. And he says it's good for 2 persons. But I guess an additional head will still be okay because the room looks big.<br />

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The summer of 2014 is near its end and the rainy season will come soon. And to officially end the summer season, TFN had an out of Cebu escapade to Negros Occidental. It's a trip initiated by a colleague who's from Sagay City, Negros Occidental for her daughter's birthday. I did a quick search about Sagay City on Google and saw a couple of blogs about Carbin Reef. It gets me interested.</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Carbin Reef in Sagay City is a marine sanctuary with a tongue-shaped, creamy white sandbar and its clear water offers the option for swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, boating, and other water activities for the visitors. Several cottages were built at the very top of the sandbar for visitors to rent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On the left side of the sandbar is a shallow part of the reef where the sea is calm and you can do snorkel and swim with the friendly fishes. I've enjoyed watching the colorful world under the sea and I was amazed by the number of big clams in the area. Yes, such clams that produce pearls!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While on the right side of the sandbar is the deep part of the reef and the sea current is strong so swimming there is not advisable. I've asked a local if what's in there and his answer is "Giant Clams". Clams that way bigger than what can be seen in the shallow area that even two people cannot carry. Wooohhh! I'd really like to see that but there's no chance, I have to learn diving first. Hahaha!</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">San Fernando has been in the mind of many people these past months because of El Kargador's phenomenal popularity. People from different parts of Cebu flock to the resort to spend their summer. But somewhere in the far corner of San Fernando, a small mountain resort is getting finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Tophills Recreational Park, that's the owner call the place but for me, it fits as a mountain resort because the place is situated on the top of the mountain though a simpler one. If you know Singli Mountain Resort, Tophills is far above that resort. And the road to take in going there is such an adventure. The slope may go up to 45 degrees and that very deep cliff need to pass through is such a scare on the way. But that's okay because waiting at the end of that difficult road is a simple yet nice place.</div>

<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I have been there two times already and I'm planning for my third. The first is an overnight stay with just our group occupying the whole place, with just the 7 of us. It's like the place is reserved for us only. The reason is that the place is not that known at that time so it's not crowded this time. Maybe people will flock to the place after they read this blog (hahaha assuming na miming).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I like most about <b>Tophills Recreational Park</b> is the scenery that the sky is so close that the stars and moon appear bigger. And it's a coincidence that it was a full moon when we stayed overnight there. The scene was a big "AWE" until dawn. So if your planning to visit the place after reading this post (I hope you do!) and you want to stay overnight, make sure that the sky is clear so that the stars can be seen clearly, and don't forget to book the moon ahead (hahaha).</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Canigao Island is located in Matalom, Leyte. It has abundant fishing grounds and untouched coral reefs in the surrounding waters making the area suitable for snorkel and diving. The beaches have fine white sand very great for beach volleyball, Frisbee, and other beach activity.</div>

Originally, the group's plan is to have an overnight stay in Camotes Island or a whole day's adventure at Danao Eco Adventure Park. But it turned out to be an out-of-province excursion to Leyte when someone suggested <b>Canigao Island</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've heard of this island before and I remember I've researched the net of info about it. The island is beautiful and clean as I've seen in the photos Google has provided me. I definitely don't have a plan to visit the place this year, not until the suggestion came. It's a great opportunity raised by one of my colleagues from Leyte. We will be staying in her grandmother's place in Bontoc, Leyte before going to the island.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
From Cebu, we traveled almost 8 hours going to Bontoc, Leyte. More than 6 hours by sea and an hour by land. We boarded a ship going to Hilongos, Leyte around 9:00pm on June 6, 2014, and arrived in the port of Hilongos fifteen minutes past 3:00am on June 7. Not wasting any time because most of us are sleepy still from the sea travel, we boarded a bus going to Bontoc and arrived at Gaya's grandmother's house almost 5:00am. The girls went to sleep and we guys played cards until the breaking of dawn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The preparation was made at 8:00am for our overnight stay at <b>Canigao Island</b>. Bought ingredients for the food, cook some for lunch on the island. Packed the drinks (this includes the ilimnung makahubog, liquor in English), marinated pork and chicken for BBQ, spices, and other things. We've finished the preparation around 11:00am. Our ride from Bontoc going to Matalom, Leyte was waiting until we're packed and ready to go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After 1 hour of travel going to Matalom, we're already excited to board the motor banca, we paid 100 pesos for the motor banca ride and an entrance fee on the island. And note, the motor banca ride is back and forth (I know it's cheap) inclusion of that 100 pesos fee. Below is a nice shot of the bamboo footbridge, our way going to the motor banca.</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Travel time going to Canigao Island from Matalom Port is 15 to 20 minutes. We arrived on the island around 1:00pm. A very tiring trip for sleepless travelers like us but it's worth the time and energy because the island is such a paradise.</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Lambug Beach</b> in Badian, Cebu is another popular public beach I the southern part of Cebu. Unlike Tingko Beach at Alcoy, Lambug Beach has no rocky part or stony steps when you're in the water. The sand is so fine that it feels so soft underwater. It also has a long stretch of the sandbar and the view of the horizon is simply breathtaking.</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The sidetracking I made in <b>Lambug Beach</b> is one of the first in my travels.

Putting my backpack in the sand and rushing to the sea to swim and still eyeing my things on the sand. It's all a new feeling to me and I so love it (nyahahah, ^^).</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">My way of getting rid of the busy and stressful life n the city is to pack my bag and go for a trip to a place where instead of hearing car, truck, and jeepney engines running and noisy environment, you experience the softness and calmness that nature offers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was thinking of a place to spend my Holy Week vacation and I'm choosing between Bantayan Island and Badian's<b> World Big 4 Resort</b>. The two places are on my Travel Bucket List for this year. Somehow I wanted to accomplish one or two items on the list in my 4 days of Holy Week off.</div>

</div>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I've decided to go for the Badian trip instead of Bantayan Island because on the same dates, Bantayan Island will celebrate their annual town fiesta and the island is expected to be crowded and I'm supposed to have a quiet break from the stressful city life and the island is not a good choice at the moment. I preferred going to <b>World Big 4 Resort</b> in Badian because of the serenity that it brings and also I can accomplish two items on the Bucket List, Lambug Beach is also in Badian and actually near the resort. ^^</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>El Largador Music and Resto Bar</b> base on my observation is not really a big place so it gets crowded most of the time. The same goes with the pool too and not very suitable for grown-ups because the depth in my estimation is 4 to 5 feet only.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But that's not what the place is being popular about. There's a lot more that covers up the little imperfection you can observe in the place.</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Riverstone Castle</b> is situated in a strategic location away from the main road and into the steep areas of Argao to ensure a commune with nature. The castle resort was formed in April year 2002 by the Galeos Brothers, Edgar & Edsel. It was first developed as a family children's park and then the family agreed to have it develop into an ecotourism industry. Now, Argao has a lavishly tropical castle resort.</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We were in Argao for the celebration of an officemate's birthday last March 1, 2014. We're supposed to head back to Cebu City early afternoon but we decided to have a stroll in one of Argao's destinations, the <b>Riverstone Castle. </b>Have been to Argao a lot of time but haven't visited the place even once. This time I've got to see a real castle that I only see on television when watching cartoons when I was a kid. The castle is for recreation only and it's not that huge and beautiful but nevertheless it's still a castle, LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As I have mentioned, Riverstone Castle is a place for recreation, inside you can do sightseeing in the interior of the castle and watch different animals like monkeys, crocodiles, rabbits, and a variety of birds. They also have a pool for those who love to swim but it's not that big. And if you'd like to stay overnight in the place, they also have rooms available that are good for two and for groups.</div>

<b>Getting there:</b></div>
<br />
From the South Bus Terminal, take a bus with a route plate "Bato, Oslob". Get off Poblacion, Argao, Cebu and take a public tricycle and ask the driver to drop you off in <b>Riverstone Castle Resort</b>. No worries, what you need is a little talking only and you'll be at the place. ^^<br />

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I heard about <b>Obong Spring</b> from one of my office mates. We are talking about someplace to swim somewhere south of Cebu but not the beach. Just for a change, something fresh like waterfalls or spring. Then someone suggested we try a spring in Dalaguete, Cebu. The water in the spring is not that fresh because it is directly connected to the sea but my office mate assured me that we will love and enjoy the soothing atmosphere of the spring.</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I've visited Obong Spring after my first ever trekking experience in Osmeña Peak. That was the afternoon of 22 Feb '14 after having lunch in the seaside eatery in Poblacion, Dalaguete. We rode a tricycle from Poblacion to Obong, Dalaguete where the spring is situated. The place is a bit crowded at that time because it's a Saturday. Decided not to have a swim because I have to hurry back to the city and I'm a bit tired.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was able to go back and experience swimming in the crystal clear water of <b>Obong Spring</b> the following Saturday, 01 Mar '14. Thanks to an office mate who invited me to have an overnight stay in their place in Argao, Cebu because it was his birthday on 27 Feb '14. We had a little celebration, eat a bit more and have a night drink with great people. The plan was to have a nice cold swim in the spring in the morning, the day after his birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We arrived in Obong Spring around 7AM and I was awed by the morning scenery of the spring. Crystal clear water with a background of nature's greeneries and that big old Dalakit tree in the spring makes the picture-perfect. I did take a lot of photos of the place; you can see selected shots below (don't mind the photos with me in it, ^_^). After the photoshoot of the place, I hurried into the water and it's really cold but I enjoyed it.</div>
