I
felt sad when my avatar was stolen in Agora terminal on our way to Camiguin.
I’ll miss him. I hope he is fine.
A week after Team Injury’s adventure in Cagayan Valley up
north, Paul and I said “Hi and Hello” to Cagayan de Oro down south. If I keep
on doing this my travel fund will surely be depleted in a month. (Ho Ho Ho!)
Cagayan de Oro was our gateway to our almost 1 week
Mindanao adventure. Our first stop was the wonderful island of Camiguin!
Camiguin can be reached via a 3-hour bus ride from
Cagayan de Oro to Balingoan and an hour and a half ferry boat ride from
Balingoan Port to Benoni Port. I was impressed by how clean the waters of
Camiguin were even in the docking area. More so when we toured the island.
Katibawasan
Falls
Cool water but not for me. T’was so cold for my feet.
Giant Clams
Biggest clams in the Philippines. More than a meter in
diameter. Unfortunately I didn’t have an underwater cam.
Ardent
Spring
I can stay here forever! The water was so relaxing
especially after a tiring day tour.
White
Island
Best place to spend early morning coffee while savoring
the crisp greenery of the main island 10 minutes away.
Sunken
Cemetery
Went here just to take pictures.
Government
Farm
Biggest pig I’ve seen.
And oh the ostritch!
Church
Ruins
If the church was not destroyed by the volcanic eruption,
I think it will be a greater manifestation of the deep religiousness of the people
of Camiguin.
Fish
Pen
Great place to eat lunch!
Recommendations:
1. If
you are a budget traveler like us, stay at GV hotel. Got it at 50% discount and
paid 333Php per room for a night.
2. Hire
a tour guide especially if you are many.
3. Be on
time. The ferry may leave earlier than expected.
4. Camiguin
is famous for Pastel. Have a bite!
5. Never
go to Camiguin without an underwater camera. And I’ll say it again! Never go to Camiguin without an underwater camera.
6. Enjoy
the long ride. It’s worth the wait. ^_^
