Trip to Mindanao: Day 3 - aftermath

The white water rafting was the climax of our trip to Mindanao. We were all drained up after the 3-day goofing. On May 7, Monday, was our scheduled trip back to Cebu. Original estimated time of departure was at 9:00pm, then moved to 12:00mn, then moved to 3:00am. We had to do something while waiting for the time. We all just wanna sleep but the boat is at 3:00am yet. So, here's us after the tiring but fun days...

Trip to Mindanao: Day 3 - continuation

The white water rafting experience was totally super! I really can't believe i made it! I think i had called all the saints during the entire ride. If i may say, i was able to conquer my fears. But not that much since i did not jump from the raft and went swimming. It's just way too scary for me. :P


we made it! =)




we all deserved a warm yummy dinner :P

Trip to Mindanao: Day 3 in Cagayan de Oro

After two fun filled days in Camiguin, we then went to Cagayan de Oro the next day, April 7 for the highlight of our Mindanao trip - the white water rafting adventure. We took a bus to get to the port then get an hour or so barge ride bound to CDO. We arrived at the 'assembly area' at past 12:00 noon where we had our lunch. You could try some of their other adventures like canope walk and slide for life while waiting for your jeepney ride down to the starting point of the river for the white water rafting. We immediately took the ride bound to the starting point after lunch. We were divided into two groups. After a few minutes of general orientation and safety instructions, we were all set for the ride of our lives! There's no way i'd back out! Hek! Hek!





The rafting moments...


Fun fun fun... need i say more? More pics in the next entry...

Trip to Mindanao: Day 2 in Camiguin

Ok, here's the continuation entry for our trip to Mindanao - Day 2 in Camiguin. We woke up, ate breakfast, then took a 10 minute pump boat ride to White Island. The boat ride was short since the cottages we stayed at was near to the island. The beach was superb! Picturesque view - white sands, clear water, blue skies, sun beaming. What more can i ask? :)

We went to Katibawasan Falls in the afternoon after lunch. Took lots of photos as usual. Then went to Enigmata, had dinner and then went back to Ardent Hot Spring...

Trip to Mindanao: Day 1 in Camiguin

Finally, i made my first trip to the Southern part of the Philippines last April 4-7, 2008. We left Cebu City on April 4 @ 8:00pm aboard the Shuttle Ferry. We arrived in Camiguin port at 8:00am but was able to disembark at 10:00am already. Our patience was tested, it took time for the ship captain to get the ferry near the port because of the winds. There must be some better explanations for this but i can't explain any further. We then were met by the multicab driver my officemate's friend contacted for us. We ate our lunch first then went to our cottage. After changing clothes, we immediately hit the following places in chronological order:

1. Walkway to the Old volcano & Way of the Cross
2. Volcano Ruins
3. Sunken Cemetery
4. Sto. Nino Cold Spring
5. Ardent Hot Spring






Day 2 to follow...
