sunrise over the hundred islands
I
miss the beach — my sun, my sand, my water. It’s been really hot
lately as if it’s summer once again. If only it never rained, you
wouldn’t really know that we’re still in the middle of September. So
where can one go even for just a weekend? I think I may just have the
answer to that. How about a trip to the Hundred Islands in Pangasinan?
exploring General Luna island
It’s actually easy. Going there will take a long drive, around 4-5 hours depending on traffic and whether you get lost or not. Well, we kinda got lost along the way but by around 10-11 am, we reached Villa Milagrosa, a small hotel just across the bay where we rented 2 rooms for us and the boats for hire were just nearby.
We discovered this little stretch of sand bar while island hopping…
It
was really worth the long trip. We visited the three major
islands – General Luna, Lopez and Quezon. We even explored the other
little islets, caves, sand bars and went snorkeling at the so-called
pearl farm where we saw so many coffin-like-structures underwater where
pearls are cultivated inside oh-so-large shells. It was really quite
amazing in a freaky kind of way.
Frolicking in the waters of Lopez island Quezon Island
That’s where we found those giant clams underwater!
The rest of the time, we explored their park, tiangge and other restaurants.
Feeling siokoy and sirena….hahaha!
The whole vacation was quite an experience and I believe it made us bond even more as a family.
