BRITTANYA ISLAND

      It was 3am at April 14 when my mom woke us up. This day is an exciting one because it is the day when or family will be going to Surigao del Sur. At exactly 4:30 am we leave the house and started to travel. It took about 4 hours when we reached San Franz and it is our first stop in our trip. We stopped to have our breakfast in a restaurant- carenderia thingy that offers wifi with internet fee. :)) 

     After that we continued our trip to our first stop which is  Tinuy-an Falls. I never expected how wonderful is that place. There were 3 giant waterfalls that resembles Niagra Falls in Canada. The thing that I love at that place is the adventure which is called "shooting the rapids" which we rode on a bamboo raft and slowly going to the edge of the waterfalls. It was so refreshing, cool and extreme. There was a memorable happening at that place, it is when my mom and my aunt were carried by the strong current in the river. And the funny part is they victimized a child to join them (Nakakatawa talaga sila, kala namin kakilala nila ang batang yun.). After that we had our seafood lunch. Wow! it's the first time I ate lobster and did you know what? their seafoods are so cheap unlike the prices of seafoods here at Davao.

      The next stop is at Enchanted River.. You'll be really amazed at that place.. You can truly tell it is ENCHANTED.. You know what?? Because it is a fresh water but still you can taste salty. Next, because there were no strong currents in the river so you are like swimming in a lagoon or in a swimming pool. Here you could find fishes that were trained. TRAINED in a way when a particular music is played fishes comes out under water. And lastly I can tell it is enchanted because you could find a CAVE under the river which measures more than 800 feet. Fascinating isn't it?

     We have to go back to San Franz at that afternoon to have rest and prepare ourselves for tomorrow's new adventure. :)

    And here it comes the last place were going to visit.. The Brittanya Islands. It is situated 1 hour away from San Franz.  We went to a resort that gives boat rentals going to the islands the resort is LA ENTRADA. There we rode a pump boat going to our first island destination which is the Naked  Island which is also part of the Brittanya Islands. Going to that island is so extreme.. WHY? you would meet large waves which can make your boat sway. We were very nervous because we thought that our boat will flipped over.. hehehe.. And thank God we arrive there safely. We were really amazed at that place because of its WHITE FINE SAND, CRYSTAL CLEAR WATERS, and its GIANT WAVES.. So we never missed a chance and enjoyed the waves as if it will be the last.. :) So its time to go to the second island and on that island I am not so happy because for me it is very overcrowded unlike the other one. But still we enjoyed ourselves swimming on the clear, cold waters.. :)

Its time to go back to the resort to eat our lunch. As usual we ordered a lot of seafoods.. And it was so YUMMMMMMYYYYY!!!!!!! :D 

And then we went back home.. :( There were a lot of things I missed on that place.. Hoping I can go back there again SOOOOOON.. :)))))

Bye for now BLOGGER!!
