Siquijor Island

Palm Tree Tire SwingSunday morning we got up and took the ferry to Suquijor which was about 1 hour long. We didn't really do to much but spend the day relaxing at the swimming pool and playing around together. It had a great slide which the kids loved and I got stuck on. It was pretty warm and deep and so they loved jumping into the water and swimming around together. It also had a shallow section of the pool they could stand in and jump around splashing without worry. The place we stayed was designed and landscaped really nicely. It was situated on a white beach but unfortunately they weren't maintaining it daily so there was a lot of reeds on the shore :( Finally on Monday before we left someone was out there raking up all the reeds and cleaning up the beach. We took a stroll along the water and played on a tire swing they had haning from a coconut tree but we had no desire to swim in the sea with no where really open to lay on the beach.

Monday was a cloudy day which brought beautiful clouds up in the mountains on the Islands in the distance. It was calm and peaceful to watch, a great way to start the day!

The way home seemed to go by pretty quickly. Ryan found some sound competition in a vehicle in front of weaving through the mountain as quickly as he was. It became a competition and helped us get home in 4 hours after our lunch stop in Dumaguete and taking a couple of pictures I've wanted to take since we arrived here in the Philippines.

  1. I hope you were wearing a red shirt, too Megs! I was going to say Brayden and Ryan were twins but it looks like Sydney is in red, too! I bet they had fun on that swing.
