Malapascua Island

[250txc]

Going back was a another real trip ... It was low tide and the bike had to loaded in a dingy and floated out
to the larger pump boat for the return trip to Cebu ... I had a hire a crew for this operation ... More
Professionals are needed...

[250txc]

It was crazy ...we were fixing a price for the crew when all at once, they loaded the bike and took off and I just jumped in with the bike.. Eva had a ride in a separate
dingy... U can see the water is no more than 3 feet deep here but she was a little nervous without me because she cannot swim ..

The lift and it was done very carefully and Professionally.. I just got back outta the way ... They are the PROs .. :)

[250txc]

We were very happy with their job performance

[250txc]

We're outta here and back to the civilized world of Cebu ...

[250txc]

Here is the pump boat captain ...He was very cool on the way over with loading the boat all everything ...

[250txc]

Had to get another crew for unloading ... low tide again meant pushing the bike up that ramp at a steep angle and over those huge rocks ... again, professionals at work and zero issues for these guys :)

This small sand bar was calling out as we went past :0)

[250txc]

We headed back east at BRGY Tabuelan .... UR thanked here usually on UR way out of town also ...

Cottages ~600P per night ... white sand beach and crystal clear water ... really over the top ...


Here are a few BRGY. along the way to the island ...
Starting with Bantayan

I remember this town , I was heading to Bantayan Island with the ex and we get to Daan Bantayan and the bus stops and she says " where here '' I say b f----- where there , we hav to get to Hagnaya and catch a ferry to Bantayan Island so it was onto another rubber tired rollerskate to San Remingo then a tricycle to Hagnaya and ferry to Santa Fe, the beer tasted good that night.

Yep that sounds like traveling in the Philippines .... How was Bantayan Island once you arrived? I've been wanting to go over there ....

nice adventure ride. The water is really crystal clear

[250txc]

The water was crystal clear and almost hot it was so warm .... Plus all around the island was the white sand and many small hidden coves to swim in ... Such a small place, walking would get you everywhere...
