Leyte/Cebu Island-Hopping

in Pinmapple2 years ago (edited)

Hello, everyone. It's me again "Lao ji". How are you Doin' today? I hope you doing great. 😊 I would like to share with you these beaches that I've been to. Let's get started.

By the way, I'm from Manila. We travel from Manila to Tacloban via Cebu pacific airline because my mom's parents live in Leyte. So we ride a van from Tacloban to the Naval Biliran port to ride a boat to cross to another island, Which is Higatangan Island, where my grandparents live.

Tahooo~! (Soya Beancurd with tapioca pearls) Sheesh! hahaha!😅

This is the view of our BOH (Back of the house) yah! we're near the shore. Ugh! The ambiance is so relaxing.

That's my mom and her brother in the sand bar area of the island.

Left to Right (Cousin, Mom, Nephew, and Uncle) Can't find me? I'm not the one taking the picture. HAHAHAHA! I'm sleeping at that time, tired from the travel. 😅

After a few hours of sleeping, my cousins and I decide to take an island-hopping tomorrow from Higatangan island to some of the beaches nearby. Then she negotiates with some of the locals here on the island to accommodate us for our island-hopping. we pay individually for our boat and food expenses.

Our first stop is Malapascua Island, Cebu.

We stayed for a 2days,1Night accommodation so we can explore the island. I don't know the Resthouse's name but we are on the 2nd floor and the ground floor was a scuba diving school lesson. We rest a little bit then we started our Malapascua island tour.

This is me and my cousins and their friends and family. My mom didn't join us, She decided to stay in Higatangan.

We stayed at some point in an area where there is a Japanese shipwreck to explore.

Me exploring the Japanese Shipwreck.My cousin keeps playing with me when I am underneath so I wear a vest. HAHAHAHA!

Some locals say there is some spot where you can do** cliff diving** and some part of the area is where thresher shark lives. And cliff diving is a NO for me (Fear of heights) 😱

I don't know which part of the island we are in, I think this part is where you can see the sunset, And you can have mini hiking so you can picture taking there like this one. 😆

Picture taking... then we ate at the local cafeteria there and after that, we take some rest.

This is the 2nd day of our island-hopping journey. from Malapascua, We are going to Kalanggaman Island.

As you can see, you need to climb up so you can take a picture on top of the island. This island is so good, you can see all the other islands from the top. look at me Mesmerizing all the island around me.

after that, we headed back to higatangan because tomorrow is our flight back to manila.
