Adventure in Tingloy, Batangas

Hi Hivers! It's Mooon again!
Sorry for being inactive for a few weeks It happens that I have a lot of stuff I need to work on.
I miss writing blogs, so today, I will share my adventure of exploring islands, seas, and beaches in Tingloy, Batangas Philippines.

It is an unplanned travel with my colleagues and since I haven't visited the sea yet I didn't hesitate to join them.

I'm with Raymond, Daly, Zhy, Timoteo, Angel, Niño and Carmela.
These are my colleagues from our Organization Seeds of Hope Society PH and I can say that we enjoy everyone's company we are comfortable with each other.

From Manila, we departed using Bus, Jeepneys, and Ferry.

The ferry is quite huge and the good thing about it is they forbid the passengers to spend some time on deck which we enjoyed the most.

we're on the captain's deck and one of the sailors offers us a group photo, the view is astonishing, and the clouds and sea are crystal clear.

After almost 3 hours of travel, we finally reached our destination.

The Camp Lagoon Beach house

The first thing that I've noticed is that seashells are everywhere, the white sand and the tropical summer vibe that heals your inner peace.

MY POV

Our cottage is a good spot too, aside from its being spacious and near the sea you can't get irritated by the sun because of the trees.

After a quick rest in a hammock, I began preparing the dishes they nominated me with this choir because they love my dishes and left me no choice as long as they assisted me lol!

I cooked Sinigang na Baboy and Adobo for our Lunch for sure they going to love this!

(Chibugan na!)

Anyways, the group beside us is Zhy's cousins though they have a different group we asked them to join us for lunch.

We explored the beach in the afternoon and we visited the famous spot called the lagoon.

This spot has huge rocks and boulders and produces overwhelming sea waves that's why some tourists are afraid to go here.

We drink at night and do karaoke until we are all wasted! LOL

The second day is the highlight of our beach getaway as we are going to do Island hopping and snorkeling.

We rented 2 boats for this adventure and each boat contains 4 persons, able to make the boat balance and steady.

I've seen a lot of scenery and islands along the way and it is astonishing. So amazing!
I wonder how God created these beautiful creations.

After an hour of journey, we finally reached our destination.
The Sombrero Island

The sea water is so clear can barely see the surface.

Before we dived into the sea our guide gave us equipment and safety gear so we could appreciate more the beauty of the island.

I jumped in and saw a lot of different kinds of fish, starfish, coral reefs, sea turtles, and other sea creatures and I'm so grateful that I've experienced it, the bad thing is I forgot my underwater camera. I wasn't able to capture that. However, I am present at the moment and that was the most important for me.

For the next adventure, we dropped off at the Marina's Cave

What we've seen here are dark caves, white sands, and cold clear water plus rocky surfaces.

Behind me was a creepy dark cave, my colleagues are afraid to look inside so I explored it myself and when I went inside I saw a lot of bats and stalactites, I didn't even try to take pictures inside to keep the bats unharmed however the water inside was much colder.

The beauty of the cave is just perfect for your photoshoots.

Our final group shot before leaving the island 🥺

We went back to the cottage to take our lunch and pack up our things as well.

Now, It's time to go home!

It's a brand-new experience to be treasured, I'm so grateful to have friends like them and I am looking forward to more adventure with the best people ever.

Looking behind that Island is a memory that I'll surely keep forever.

Thank you for reading, till next time!

This is Mooon ...

PEACE OUT! 🤙
