Philippines Trip / Day 3 Pt.1
A new day, a new adventure, though the clouds seem to be back.
Today we decided to do a little island hopping! See that blue boat near the center? That's our ride!
Michelle and Michael getting prepared for the voyage out to sea.
So far all is calm, let's see if it stays that way...
There's no shortage of things to do here, the inflatables being towed seemed to be especially popular among some of the tourists here.
Turns out the trip would be around the entire island before we eventually landed on our first beach. This wouldn't have been much of a deal except as we got closer to those dark ominous clouds, the water started getting choppier as the wind was kicking up. Uhhh, you sure we want to go this way?
Don't get me wrong though, there were still some cool views. Multiple times I was thinking "It's like something straight out of Disneyland's Adventure Land, except this is real life." This spot in particular would have been pretty cool to snorkel around.
Not exactly what I think of when I hear the words "Boat house".
The port where we originally arrived.
Several times we spotted these large homes hidden behind some trees. They reminded me of an evil villain's lair on some spy show.
It was surprising that even when we were out pretty far in the water, it was still very shallow. If we had more time, we'd definitely consider scuba diving around here.
Waves are starting to pick up...
This tiny island had a little setup for some high diving. If the waters weren't so choppy (the dock was moving around a lot more than it looks in the pic) it would have been a pretty fun place to check out. Pt 2 next post.
