Iloilo: Only in the Philippines

We went there on a Monday via plane from Manila which took almost an hour, rented car from the aiport to the port for 3 to 4 hours and boat ride for two hours and then voila we arrived in Gigantes Island. It did not end there we took a motorbike ride for a couple of minutes and we reached our destination, our home for the vacation - Gigantes Hideaway Tourist Resort.

Food and Accommodation

We were served coffee rightaway. The staff was courteous. A few visitors were also there. Since we are solitude-loving people we fell inlove with the place right away because the cottages were situated far away from each other making privacy and silence possible. There were also nearby Videoke bars where we later enjoyed ourselves with a couple of beers. 

Oh I was also supposed to talk about the foof. Well, they served seafood! A variety of them like scallops, fishes and squid. I forgot to say that their shore was covered with scallop shells. The locals are suppliers of scallops in various places. Needless to say, the food was sumptuous.

The Views

We went to a Lighthouse at sunrise. Unfortunately the clouds were heavy that time but we still enjoyed ourselves with the picturesque gift of the place. There were ruins, trees, a sight of the beaches and some islands. At the break of dawn, the changes of the colors around never fail to mesmerize the human eyes. Indeed the divine intervention in these creations are so powerful beyond imagination. We are but spectators in his majestic presence. 

We later went to do some island hopping. I cannot find an appropriate word or group of words to give justice to the beauty of the place. It could be an underestimation to its grandeur. Go see it. You will know what I mean.
