Pinay Travels

It was three in the morning when we left Iligan. Thank God for the traveling mercies that we arrived Camiguin on time for Breakfast . In this post, I would like to share a bit of why were went to Camiguin that day. We were all excited that waking up before three in the morning was not a hassle. Me personally was excited because it's been awhile since the last time I visited Camiguin. If I remember it right, it was in May 2006 during the Labor day holiday with a weekend following it. So I was all ready with my camera because I know that I would love the view going there. The lighthouse at Balinguan Port. Taken while up at the barge already. Camiguin Island as seen from Bainguan Port This is telling us that we are nearing the Island At last we arrived @ Benoni Port From the port we directly went to JJ Pen Fish Restaurant. While our fish for breakfast is being cooked, we saw this water snake. It looks venomous. I was so scared. It reminds me that indeed it is a year of the snake.  It ...

Unfortunately, we were stranded in the island. Not that we missed the boat trip, but there was some mechanical problem on the barge that the management advised them not to travel.  We waited for an hour though to have the final word.  When the reality sank into our head, and after calling families that we cannot make it, we headed to town to buy some personal stuff.  Lucky are those who remembered to grab on an extra shirt and extra undies. lol! So we went back to the place where we had our breakfast .   Not just to have dinner but also to sleep.  Yes, at J & A Fishpen, they have aircon and non-airconditioned dormitories.  We took the non-aircon @ Php 1,000.00 for ten people. Sorry I forgot to take a shot of the room.  But it was really a cozy one with enough bathrooms, enough comfort rooms, and wash sinks outside the room.  The beds were sturdy built and strong enough to be in place even if someone as big as me will go up the second deck.  But I opted to stay down because it is me...

Last week, Friday, I went along with some of Administrative officers to check out an important property in Camiguin. To find out later, the exact location was in Sagay. We started from home at 3AM and after a land trip and a short time sailing from Balinguan to Benoni pier, we arrived Camiguin safely. We had breafast at J & A Fishpen Restaurant . @ the front of the restaurant It was here that the guy took the fishes for our orders. So it is like you point and they catch that for you and they cook it according to what you like. Before our orders arrived, we had the time to around the place and took some photos.  Here are some more of my clicked photos: We ordered fish tinola and grilled fish. A simple but satisfying Filipino breakfast. The warm soup really warmed our cold tummies. :)  After sometime, our ordered arrived! ++++ J & A Resort and Restaurant Taguines Lagoon Benoni, Camiguin A very accessible place to dine when you arrive Camiguin through Benoni Pier.
