Camiguin 2010: White Island

The White Island in Camiguin for me is the best place we have visited in Camiguin. We woke up early in the morning about 4 am to go to the White Island. The guide had told us that we must be early since the much of the Island will not be visible come afternoon. So I joined my wife and his co workers together with the tour guide to go to the White Island. I was still a bit sleepy since its really early in the morning but open arriving at the beach and the White Island was just minutes away. Just looking at the island from the beach was already exciting. We had to ride a small boat to go to the White Island (the boat can carry only 6-7 person) and I'm glad the weather cooperated (the winds was calm that day, which made me feel at ease since i don't know how to swim hahahaha). Then when we arrive at the White Island, man it took my breath away, it was such a beautiful site to look at, white sand, dark blue sea. It was just breathtaking. Here are some photos i have taken of the place.

A pic from the beach where we wait for the small boat to come pick us, you could see the White Island from here already.

My wife (wrap in the white towel) together with his friends and co workers enjoying every moment in the island. (Notice the cloud formation at the back? Nice isnt it)



A nice view of the sunrise, it was around 5 am i think?



just wait till the sun rises up



When the sun finally shown its rays, the White Island beauty shifts to high gear.



More and more people arrive



Of course, no island would be without babes in bikini.

Bohol

Last May we had our retreat at Bohol, which is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the Philippines. And the first thing i want to see when I get there is the tarsier, an endangered species found here at Bohol.

The Tarsier was so tiny as seen above and smelly to, the care takers caution us not to use flash on our cameras so as not to kill the Tarsier( Uhhhh? are you serious??) i dunno maybe because those creatures are nocturnal and are not familiar with flashes of light directly in their eyes. Poor little thing one of my friends forgot to turn off his flash and the Tarsier bowed his head and closed its eyes, I thought it might fall and die or something, glad it didn't.
