Isla Britania, Surigao Del Sur

With my kind of work (a call center agent), 3 day vacation leave is such a luxury. So when the chance came,  me and my friends (also call center agents) decided to explore Surigao. It happened last July 11-13, 2011.

Surigao is known because of Siargao where surfers love to go but we did not go there (Siargao, Surigao City). Our destination was Surigao del Sur. The travel took us 13 hours because we were lost on our way there. Well, being lost is part of the adventure, right? Normally it's just 6 hours land travel from Cagayan de Oro. When you get to see what's waiting for us there, believe me the wonders of the place are sooooo worth the long and tiring travel.

We went Island Hopping first. Before we can proceed, we need to rent a bangka for P1,500 and it's good for a whole day Island hopping. So affordable for 8 people, right?

While waiting for our bangka we took time to have pictures with all those Islands in the background.

Take a look at the water, its super clear, so untouched and so tempting to dive. If only I know how. That visible white sand is the Naked Island. Sooooo nice, never mind the heat of the sun.

The one below is the Hagonoy Island. This was where we stayed long and enjoy the overpowering appeal of the water, so irresistible.

  A clear view of the water at Hagonoy Island..Need I say more? Look how clean and clear it is.

This picture below is still at Hagonoy Island..

Picture picture jeed..yey

The one with a white sand on it is called the Boslon Island. It's where we had our lunch. Take a look at the 2 islands nearby (i forgot the names), those are just a few walk away from Boslon Island. We had our "group pictorials" there.

This one below is a clearer view of Boslon Island. That cross you can see is their grotto.

Remember the 2 islands nearby Boslon, those are behind us in this picture. We just walked going there and have our picture-picture..hehe

Since I forgot the names of these island I'll just call them "TWIN Island".I so like the presence of the "bangka" in this picture. It made it more a sight to behold..Naks.

On our way back to Boslon Island from the 2 islands nearby

Time to eat our lunch..Sorry this is the only picture I had for our food. We had kinilaw na pusit too.

Group picture after eating. Notice those smiles, a true witness of how we enjoyed our escapade.

One of our many attempts to have our own "Temptation Island" picture.

Time to depart Boslon Island and be ready to the next stop, Hiyor Hiyoran Island. That's the distant view of Hiyor Hiyoran Island.

and this one is the nearer view and the back side of the picture above.

And of course before leaving the place, it wouldn't be complete without a pose..

In all honesty I don't like swimming that much coz ssssssshhh I don't know how to swim..hahaha What a shame!!! But believe me, when I get there I can't help but swim till sawa. If only I could bring this beautiful place to Cagayan de Oro...

True enough, when we left the islands we brought nothing but memories to last a lifetime...

I will surely go back to this place one day.

Thanks Yay for the pictures.
