Cebu, my forever island love. As much as I love living in the city, I just can't help but escape for a bit. Trade heels for flip flops for a couple of days. When I want to unwind, I find myself heading to the bus terminal and hopping on the next available bus heading north.
It takes about 3-4 hours by bus to Hagnaya and from there take a ferry for Bantayan Island. Sounds like a long trip but it is very worth it. It is a scenic route heading north. I know I should sleep on the bus to save my energy but I just can’t. Regardless of how I travel, I always stay up so that makes me the perfect person to ride shotgun while on a roadtrip. The ferry ride could be tricky depending on the time of day. I like it when two rival ferries leave for the same time because they will really try to outbid each other on who can offer the cheaper fare. Sometimes I get lucky and take the ferry ride free of charge. The catch, I will be sharing the trip with a shit ton of livestock, it smells but then I don't really mind, the ferry ride is just less than hour anyway.
The island, one of my most favorite places in the world. I haven't been to a lot of places but this is still a very easy favorte. Maybe because of the peace and comfort that it has given me throughout the years with no fail. Also, this is where I first experienced bioluminescence when I was night swimming drunk way back when I was a senior in college. That was trippy and I promise you I wasn't high or anything.
White and turquiose is what I imagine if I want to feel relaxed. The beach never fails to give me that. I literally just go to enjoy the view both in land and underwater. There are a few water activities, sure, but I just opt to chill. It is really beautiful in real life, the photos can't give it justice. A major plus, the water is warm. Another major plus, the food and accomodation is cheap af. Seafood all day everyday on the island.
Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions about getting there or what to eat or where to stay. LOL.
Later steemians!
