Bantayan

We decided that we had to do one last beach trip before my sister, Kaitlyn, left back to Canada. A close, inexpensive place was an island we've been to once before just north of Cebu Island. The trip is a little longer but no shorter then any other decent place. We started by driving an hour north along the coast line to a town named Cadiz. From there we took a boat for a 4 hour ride to Bantayan town were we headed to look for a place to spend the next couple of nights.
It's a small island lined with a white beach and resorts. We stayed 2 nights in a decent bungalow just off the beach and finished our last night in a big hut on the beach.

The weather was great, rained all night but the sun was out and shinning all day long. We toured a bit of the island on the two motorbikes that we rented for the weekend. Ryan drove one with Kait and the kids and I drove the other.
We were met on the north part of the island by a group of kids who followed us, taking the kids hands and leading them along the beach and helping them along a pier. We also met a young Canadian couple were just finishing up a 6 month tour of Southeast Asia and shared the extra company for dinner one night.
