Heyaaah Hiveeers, How are you? For today's blog, I will share with you another Travel Story in Bantayan Island. This time I will show you our road trip adventure from a Historical Church of Bantayan into the beautiful beach of Sta. Fe.
Our story on this island is not yet over, hoping you're not getting tired of reading about this place because I will not be tired also sharing with you how beautiful this Island is.
Last April a Holy week as I mentioned in my previous blog, we stayed here to experience the kind of holy week they have that has been a buzz in the Philippines because the way they celebrate it is different from the usual celebration. You can visit my previous blog below to know more about why.
This time, I will share with you the day when everyone in the world should be celebrating, because it is the day Jesus Christ was resurrected. As a Christian, for us to celebrate this special day my colleague together with his childhood friends decided to have a road trip and visit a beach in Sta. Fe. We're getting excited about this, knowing this island has a lot of beautiful places to explore especially in the municipality of Sta. Fe.
St. pauls and church is our rendezvous point. A church in the proper of Bantayan tells you the history of this island during the Spaniard colonization. You can visit my blog about this church to know more about its history.
I and my colleague arrived first in the rendezvous area in front of the church and while waiting for his friends, I can’t help to take a lot of pictures of this Heritage Church. The history of the church will not only amaze you but also the structure itself, outside and especially inside architectural design is fascinating that makes you not forget about it.
It's already 11:00 am when everyone is already in the meeting area and we start heading to our destination point in Sta.Fe using the motorcycles And this part is getting exciting because you know the feeling of Countryside Vibe? you will feel on this part, the energy of a province and the nature that surrounds you, it really feels good and light. Especially when we route on the diversion road where you will pass the tropical vibes of coconut trees, the view and its energy will help your spirit rejuvenate and ease the heat of the weather on the island. It is a refreshing view indeed.
We stop here for 5 minutes to have some rest, it's already 15 minutes after we depart from the Church and along this time we also pass the OBO-OB MANGROVE ECO- PARK which is one of the tourist destinations we visited during my first time on this island. You can visit my blog below about my experience at Obo-Ob Mangrove Eco-Park.
Afterward, we continue to our heading point, along the way we also pass the road going to Paradise Beach that I also never forget, It is the most beautiful beach I’ve visited on Bantayan Island. It is so calm the sand is so fine and the water is so pristine. We also pass the ruins near the cliff where you can jump during high tide, The Ruins here are photogenic, and the paints on the wall add up color and are vibrant to your pictures. Funny on this side we almost hit a Car by eyeing a lady on the cliff hahaha Glad the brake of the motorcycle is strong which makes us stop before hitting the Car.
Five minutes away from the ruins, we also pass by the Ogtong Cave on the island that we also visited during the first visit I also created a blog on this you can visit the link below. Then ten minutes later we reach our destination Sugar Beach, one of the beautiful beaches of Sta. Fe Bantayan that most tourists want also to explore. I've created already a blog about this beach you can visit also the link below.
We traveled for 30 minutes from the Bantayan Church to this stunning beach where we spent the remaining hour of the day until 7:00 pm, we enjoy this amazing view and explore its nearby area and enjoy the activities on the beach.
This road trip to the island is one of the experienced I will never forget, we visited different places and tourist destinations even for a short period of time. But the views and memories of those places are already marked on my head and I can say Bantayan Island is Indeed Beautiful.
By the way, I want to shout out my driver here “ Mark ” who became our friend on this travel journey, and my instant tour guide who tell me information and history about the places we've visited. I'm glad I learned that information from local residents of the Island.
That’s it Hivers in our Road Trip adventure on the Island Of Bantayan. Hoping you enjoyed this travel story and learned something from my blogs. Thank you for dropping by.
