Travel Series #1: Siquijor Escapade

It was last year summer 2013 when me and my friends decided to go for a Siquijor adventure. Actually we were just a little frustrated since most of our classmates went home and had summer vacations while we were stuck in Dumaguete before the start of summer classes (we chose not to go home). It was what you would call a "spontaneous trip". In fact, we only had the cellphone number of the tricycle driver and Tin's cousin that she had never met before! Haha. Wala talaga kaming idea on where are we going to stay the night or the places we were supposed to go, basta, may cellphone number kami ng driver, okay na. :-)

Siquijor is an hour or two ferry ride from Dumaguete and we paid 120 Pesos only for the ticket. Good thing when we arrived at the Siquijor port, nakita namin agad yung driver. And so the adventure began! We asked "kuya driver" to help us find a nice place to stay the night and he brought us to the beach resorts in San Juan. Dito maraming beach resorts and you can easily choose the perfect one depending on your preferences. We chose to stay in Coral Cay Resort. It did not only fit our budget but it was really a nice place to chill and relax. After checking in, we went for a tour around the province. We visited the old churches, tasted Duran's banana cheese sticks, went to Cambugahay falls, Salagdoong beach and finally had dinner at Jo's inato. After the long day of adventure, we couldn't resist the pool and went out for night swimming.. and stargazing!! If there's something you shouldn't miss in Siquijor, it's stargazing!! The stars look really nice and surreal :)

For Day 2, we went for the Cantabon cave adventure. Akala namin, ilang minutes lang kami sa loob and medyo easy lang yung trail but we were proven wrong! We spent 3 hours (maybe kasi mabagal kami) inside the cave and we did everything to survive! It was kinda traumatic for first timers but it was such a great adventure! No regrets!!

Here are my favorite photos from the trip. Enjoy!!!
