Summer Sunshine 2016: Aloguinsan

Spur of the moment trips are usually the best trips. 

It was Black Saturday and I have been itching to go on a roadtrip just like last year. But the husband seems unsure and lazy to drive. While in the process of planning where to go, we finally decided to just stay in one of the resorts in Mactan for a day. 

So, we pack up our stuff thinking that we will only be staying within the island. 

But, the husband, the spontaneous and unpredictable person that he is, drove off further and declared that we're going to Aloguinsan, Cebu and explore what the place has to offer. It would be the first time that we will drive to that place so we had Google Map helping us out. 

I've heard good reviews of Aloguinsan especially their beaches and Boho River Cruise and I've been really wanting to explore the area. 

Sharing to you some of the photos of that day.

First stop was at Bojo River Nature Reserve. We wanted to go on that cruise however, we were told to register at their tourism office. We decided not to do it especially there's also a long queue of tourists wanting to do the cruise. This is part of our "to do again next time" list.  






Next stop was at the Hermit's Cove. The road leading to this little paradise wasn't easy. You have to traverse through mountains and cliffs. But it was all worth it once you see the clear water and white sand beach just within your reach. 

Hermit's Cove was crowded on that day considering it was a holiday and they charged double on the entrance. We still had fun taking a quick dip and enjoying our halo-halo. We also saw some friends there and had a quick chit-chat. 





We packed up just as sun was about to set. While heading back to the city, we witnessed the most beautiful sunset and we just can't help but appreciate God's creation. We are grateful for this time spent with the family. It's simple, inexpensive and no fuzz travel that I'm pretty sure our kids will remember and treasure.
