Yep, I went to Siquijor back in April (!!!) and only now I’m getting around to finally talking about the end of our trip… As a reminder, Siquijor Island was beautiful, with gorgeous sunsets like this…
And we got lots of great diving done both around the island, as well as in nearby Apo Island.
We couldn’t dive on the last day, and we only had a morning to spare, so along with the super-fun couple we met in Siquijor, we rented a Jeepney for P1,300 and had him drive us down to Cambugahay Falls, which was on my “must see” list of Siquijor. We got what looked like a party Jeepney too! It was sweet!
I was afraid of jumping off the falls at first (with these things, it’s not the height that scares me, but the depth of the water – I always wonder “is it deep enough or an accident is about to happen?” I know too many bad stories), but like a good wife, I got Karl to be the first guinea pig, and that’s all I needed, loads and loads of jumping into the beautiful water followed (no, seriously, I’m slightly obsessed with jumping/diving into water).
There were three levels of waterfalls, so after lots of jumping, we went to explore the other falls.
Ah, a natural tub including the back massage spray!
Yep, Dan, that’s how we all feel like at this place too!
Before heading back home, we had to jump in a few more times…
Then back to the party jeepney… I wish Manila had this much green space!
After showering and getting our things ready, it was time to head back to Dumaguete on the boat… Because of the delays getting us there on our arrival, the resort had its own private boat taking us back, which was so much more pleasant, specially when you wait for the boat with this view!
And look at this when you’re on your journey back…
I chose not to sit indoors because I get major motion sickness. (So yes, I got majorly sunburned… I never learn.)
Siquijor Island, should definitely be on everyone’s list of places to visit in the Philippines! I would go back there in a heartbeat! We stayed at Coco Grove Beach Resort, and I highly recommend it for a relaxing trip. Here are a few other shots I took of the place…
Our home for the weekend…
And how can a private dinner here (all you need to do is reserve the table ahead of time), not be wonderful?
