Vanishing Island in Samal



   Every 12th of June, Filipinos are celebrating their independence day. Since it was holiday, our vocation club (FACEVo.C) decided to have our rest and recreation day in vanishing island located in Samal, Davao City. 










   The cottage that we rented cost 1500 php for day tour and 3500 php for night tour. The place was just enough for a big group like us. We rented the boat for the entire day which cost us 5000 php. Since the boat was ours whole day, it didn't leave us until we went home. We were supposed to go to the bat cave but the boatmen said that it's not possible because it was low tide at that time.

   We arrived at 9 in the morning and it was high tide. We immediately dipped into the clean and refreshing water since the care taker of the place said that it will be low tide in the afternoon.

   As part of our activity of course we had prepared some games for the whole group. We also have two members of the group who will celebrate their birthday for this month. Both Sr. Ma. Ann and Rub celebrates their birthday on June 14.


Happy Birthday Sr Ann and Ruby!

  Right beside the cottage that we rented was another cottage, it is only a few steps. Nobody owns this cottage, so tourist can just stop by and stay without paying any fee. Right after swimming, we went to another cottage for cam-whoring session.

   One of the few things that we enjoyed in this place aside from the crystal clear water is the mangroves. There are plenty of mangroves that you will surely love to see. Just don't forget to apply sunblock since the island doesn't have enough shade to hide from the scorching sun.
