Moalboal Beaches
(Basdako, Moalboal)

From falls to beach, our second destination... It's a sequel to our KAWASAN FALLS escapade. Here you can enjoy the beach scenery, walk on their fine white sands or dive all you want at their famous Pescador Island. From Badian going back to the town of Moalboal we took the bus, fare is 20 Php only, and the trip took only minutes. When we got in their town, lots of tricycle drivers asked us where our destination is and they negotiated with us so we haggled.

Finally we were able to negotiate with a tricycle driver. We really have no particular resort to go to so we asked suggestions from him, and thank God he's been very helpful. He took us to a public beach resort where the prices were affordable, and since we're just staying for the day a room is not really necessary. We rented a small shack in front of the beach, enough to give us shade and a place to sit, eat and relax a little bit. The cottage cost only 400 Php and there were four of us so we divided the sum (100 Php for each of us). Also, each of us brought foods to share with so we can save up some more.

We filled ourselves with foods and after a few hours of “R & R” we decided to roam around and explore other resorts. No fence separated each resorts so we were free to wander as much as we wanted. We chose to plunge and enjoy the beach from a different resort. It is because the people in there are fewer due to the fact that the resort being fronted by the beach is a bit expensive compared to the public ones.

It was indeed a marvelous day, but every beginning has its end. We have to get back to reality, although we wished we could stay some more. Time is running so fast and we have a trip that must not be missed. We tidied up and got ready for take off. A tricycle was waiting to drive us back to the town where the buses will be passing by to pick up and drop passengers from time to time. There was no particular parking area for them to wait actually, however, there's a loading and unloading area. The first bus that stopped by was an air-conditioned one, but it was way to full so we chose to wait for another one, besides, it was only half-past-six and the last trip is still at 8 o'clock in the evening. A non air-conditioned bus stopped and dropped plenty of passengers so it made a lot of space for us. The fare for a non air-conditioned bus from the town of Moalboal to the city of Cebu is only 107 Php, a little bit cheaper than the air-conditioned one.

It was almost 9 o'clock when we finally arrived at the bus terminal. I and my friends fell asleep so we didn't notice that we're already in Cebu City. We're back to the hustle and bustle sound of the city and of course, no one can be spared by the unending and annoying traffic the city has to offer. Oh well, I had a very pleasant day and I'm too happy to be pissed off. In just one day we were able to visit two beautiful famous summer destinations. My short yet fun summer rove spree has finally came to an end. I hope I was able to share the fun and enthusiasm of my experience.

To GOD be the GLORY!
