Guimaras, IloIlo

DAY 1
Woke up 7am
Grace drove til we passed by 711 to buy stuffs and crackers
Michael is now on the wheels and he just love my cute mini-celerio

Arrived at Terminal 3 NAIA airport. parked in the overnight parking.
Went straight to the check-in lady at counter21
Gave tickets, I.D, & credit card :)
boarding pass on hand.
Paid 200 for the terminal fee.
Second screening again where boys and girls have to fall in line
Took of gadgets, footwear and bags
Posed here and there for picture taking.

The lady officer warned us nicely
We didn't know it wasnt allowed to take pictures. So you better not do it!!
Erased the pictures. Bummer.
And finally we are Cleared!! yay!! :D

Stop over the food area to grab something to eat
Mike ate hotdogs at Chip-stead.
We girls went to Chow to go.
Grace and I tried the chicken rice toppings, it comes with s soup cost us 300pesos.
Both of us shared a bottled water which cost 50pesos.
Pricey! I know!
So I suggest better buy food outside the airport.
Coz everything in the airport is expensive.
When we were done, off we waited at gate120. Took pictures and more pictures.

At 10:20 am,boarded to the Plane
Sat way at the back 27 B,C,D
We met a saudia airline Pilot,who sat next to Michael.
Mr, Adel Hussain from Jeddah which was a coincidence!
 
Miss Grace was pissed fr the Pilot guy who kept on staring dirty on her. Lol.

Slept throughout the flight
Woke up due to the turbulence.
The turbulence of the flight gave us the FINAL DESTINATION creepy feeling
Haha.
The entire flight if I'l rate it would be a 5 cause for multiple resons:
1.They made us walk outside when it was raining
2. Eventually, they made us come back inside  
3. bad landing Mr. Airphil pilot
4. No freebies
5. No games
6. :0
Okay imma stop complaining.

finally, we LANDED TO THE CITY OF ILOILO
:)
Got off the plane, took our bags.
Rode the 50pesos van heading to SM city Iloilo
Transferred to a cab and head off to the pier.
Saw University of Visaysa, st. Paul Iloilo, assumption Iloilo
Arrived at the pier.
Payed the taxi guy 120pesos

At the pier, went to the ticket office, fall in line,
Took the 14pesos/head worth of tickets to Guimaras via boat.
Registered our names, waited for the boat to arrive.
Got in the boat, sat in front. It was 40 seating capacity kinda boat.
 
It was a 15min sea sick experience going to the island of guimaras.
Arrived at Guimaras Island feeling dizzy but safe :)
Randomly called beach resorts that are open to accommodate us.

Contacted mam Baby at BARAS BEACH RESORT
She recommended that we should take the tricycle and so we did
And it was a Long hard bumpy tricycle ride that made our butts hurt for 40min
Shell out 250 for the tricycle (dang expensive!)

As we got to the spot,
Unexpectedly due to the bad weather
We had to walk all the way till the end
So we Hiked 1km 'till we reached the resort
It wasn't easy as you think
It was a bit rainy and windy so that's a good thing it wasn't hot.
But along the way the path was like we have to go into the jungle of nowhere and there were sharp rocks, slippery, muddy.
Grace can't help thinking that a Snake might bite(tuklaw) her
Mike complained about his shoes
And I'm just having a great time enjoying walking into the jungle.And I swear it wasn't easy.

As we got to the end of the hike, we end up in an amazing place.
 
No words can describe how beautiful it was.
There where like a lot of islands and in between were white sand beaches
Guimaras is the place where you can just appreciate nature and get away from the city life.




 Great first day!   

DAY2
Breakfast at 9am
Had our continental breakfast

Swim!! Swim!! Swim!!
And picture posing every place

After the swim we took a bath
Ate lunch around 2pm
Ordered grilled chicken
Some lemonade on the side

While waiting, we thought of hiking
Into the forest of the island
Then we decided to go back for the food and stayed at the sea side
Enjoyed the view and the waves of the ocean.

After lunch we took a bath
Picture taking some more by the cliff of our house
Then decided to go on paddling on the mini boat
Thru team effort we made it going to the other end of the island

we even managed to go to the mahogany
Grace kept on asking what we learned in our Hekasi
So I will go on search on that

After that kuya Mike showed us to the other end of BARAS island
Too bad we didnt knew that we have a cliff diving here!!
But the strong waves of the ocean was another reason why it's dangerous to go diving
So maybe another reason to come back here in BARAS is to do the cliff diving
 
DAY3 
departure day!
we thought of leaving early as 6am due to the long travel from the Island to Iloilo
as expected we reached the tricycle by 7am
arrived in an hour at the same pier

took us 15min travel time.
looked for cheap taxi but this time 250pesos going to the airport
 
Oh boy! we early birds!! we arrived 9am
checkin opens at 10am
so we just waited and until we checked in for our flight back home in MANILA :) yay!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
here we are on our seats ready to fly back to Manila
 
All i can say the people are really nice and accomodating
they really checked if we enjoyed
It was fun to experience such unplanned trip
Waiting for our flight :)
