MAY - JUNE 2014
My family and I decided to go to Philippines for a whole 6 weeks, to relax in our hometown, enjoy the scenery and change from living near big cities to the small provinces, as well as visiting Canigao Island in Matalom, Leyte, this being near my mothers hometown. The trip from Darwin to my Mothers home town in the Philippines (Tinago in Inopacan, Leyte) took 2 plane flights and a boat ride just to get there. Leaving Darwin at 3:00pm boarding a 4 hour flight to Manila, the capital of the Philippines, arriving there 5:30pm Manila time, and leaving again at 7:30pm boarding our 1 hour flight to Cebu. Arriving at 8:30pm in Cebu we stayed overnight and left for our 4 Hour boat ride to the provincial area where my mother and her family are from. The first couple weeks were spent at our house where we got to spend time with one another and hangout and walk around. In the 4th week my Family decided to visit a small island off the coast of the province called Canigao Island, we stayed there a whole day experiencing the white sands and clear blue sky that the day had to offer us. The waters were so clear and the sands so white, It was so beautiful enough just to be able to go there, they had little huts on the beach where we could stay and enjoy the beautiful weather. On the 5th week of the trip we had gone back to Cebu staying at a hotel a distance from SM, the mall, Cebu was busy with the roads the but the Malls were great, large 4 story building with an outer garden and and square where people can hangout and meet up with one another. We also did some major shopping with Cebu's SM having all the big brands with amazing prices! There was a great eatery with many different dishes that would suit anyones preferred food. Jollibee known well in the Philippines as it is one of the most famous outlets with its variety in food that everyone could enjoy! So heres what's recommended:
