A day in Antique, Philippines

First stop for me for this year was antique. Its my first time to go there though I had a chance to pass by this province more than 10 years ago. From Iloilo, I had approximately 2.5 V-hire ride to the municipality of Hamtic where I stayed.

It was the weekend before the Holy week so the weather is so hot but that didn't discouraged us to explore the place.

We had time to stroll around Gaisano mall and meet up with some friends. Afterwards we had lunch at Bondoc's Restaurant. Its located uphill, surrounded by trees and vegetation, scattered around the main edifice are small cottages where you can have your meal.

Thanks to one of our friends who offered us a free ride to tour around the the province's capital San Jose and to have some picture taking by the seaside.



We spend the afternoon lounging on one of the Bangus fishponds in Hamtic, by the way hamtic is also famous for their fishponds and Bangus.



It was Sunday the next day so we started the day by going to Sta. Monica Parish Church, had a little stroll around the plaza then had breakfast and prepared to go back to Iloilo.



On our ride back to to Iloilo we had plenty of stop over for picture taking with the beautiful scenery and the the lush green mountains along the way.

Weekend Getaway in Bohol

Last weekend was so far the best weekend I ever had. We spent the weekend in Bohol and went island hopping. The views are breathtaking and the sunset and the underwater scenery are mesmerizing.
What made it more exciting was the fact that it was the first ever leisure trip I had with the consent from my parents.
I owe that once in a lifetime experience to me best friend who was ever persistent in convincing me to attend to his brother's wedding and his nephew's Christening.

Here are some of the pictures we've taken as remembrance..
