Our Bantayan Trip

Hey Guys! I'm back posting some photos of our most recent trip to Bantayan Island

First my team met up at the Cebu North Bus Terminal to catch the first trip for Hagnaya Port in San Remegio, Cebu.





We arrived at Hagnaya Port at around 6:00 AM which was about time for the first boat trip to Bantayan Island.





These are the shots taken from the boat trip to the island. :)








When we arrived, we decided to stay at Budyong Beach Resort in Santa Fe Bantayan Island Cebu.





We played games and relaxed all day since we also deserve some quality R&R after a very hectic schedule at work. :)













The island vibes were so relaxing and soothing to the soul. We felt like we never wanted to go back to reality.







At 4:00 in the afternoon, we decided it was time to go to the market and buy some food.
We travelled to Bantayan proper so we could check out the public market for some meat and seafood.





here are some of the mouth watering bounties from the sea being displayed at the Bantayan public market

my team mate amazed by the size of the crabs and other seafoods.

my favorite shrimps :)

After some food shopping, my teamlead and some team mates stopped to pose for some pictures :)




We arrived at sun down so I didn't waste any time taking pictures of the dramatic sunsets of Bantayan Island :)








Here are some shots of the food prepared by our official chef for dinner :)





our chef in action.. :)




I didn't take any photos during the night drinking sessions since I'm only using my phone camera...
These are shots taken early at sunrise :)






For breakfast, we went to this restaurant owned by some foreigner. They do have a friendly staff and they serve delicious silogs with danggit. :)

After a heavy brunch, we boarded the boat back to Hagnaya Port in San Remegio.
Bantayan Island is really a wonderful place to relax and have fun in the sun.
I've been there a lot of times but the island still never ceases to amaze me and captivate me with its beauty.


Thanks for checking out my blog! Please leave comments and suggestions. I would really appreciate it. :)
