The plan to go to Siit in the municipality of Siaton was one of those that we never really planned but decided to push through since all four of us Jean, Kai and GB were on vacay mood when the year started. We're very thankful for GB's hubby, Ian, who was with us to drive a vehicle to Siit Barangay road, the path going to Antulang. Travel time was about an hour. We parked the car under a young mango tree and started our mini-hike to Turtle Island.
The path we chose was one of two ways you can get to the island. Another way was from a jump of point and you have to cross a short distance of water (about 3 minutes) to get to the other side. Ours didn't require any boat ride. Instead, we walked around to reach the destination.
We surely would have complete our hike in about thirty minutes but since we found a lot of spots to take photos, well, it took us about an hour more or less. The sun was hot but it was fun.
This was the view that greeted us when we started the hike.
A tamarind tree was well-shaped and had a very inviting shade.
A white cow made a nice subject with it.
Most of the path was just flat ground, no elevation. Thank goodness!
We'd occasionally find some flowery trees like this.
The 9 o'clock sun.
We found a nice beach with a large dead tree on the shore.
It had a large branch sticking out in the air so naturally, Jean was very eager to check it out.
A local 'payag' with its resident, a dog and some cats.
A lot of these trees along the way.
My companions.
We found a beach clearing and saw a nice clean beach with a lot of sun, and young mangroves.
Couldn't help it.
Beach time.
A lot of children living nearby were also having some fun time in the sand.
Crystal clear water at the sand bar
The breeze was strong.
After some time in the water, we had some chill time under the trees.
I made sure to bring my hammock.
Perfect hammock situation.
Yes, I'm so glad this becomes so useful during outdoor trips.
Went farther into the trees
We found a small cliff which offered a great view of the ocean
After Turtle Island, we drove to a nearby resort to eat some lunch.
Cove Paradise had a nice spacious beach with light gray fine sand.
After lunch, we stopped by Tambobo Bay beforea heading back home. It was already past sunset so we only caught sight of the blue hour. It was getting dark but managed to snap some photos of the boats all around the place.
We had a really long day but it was so much fun walking and taking pictures. The heat gave me painful sunburn but nevermind that. Small price to pay for the memories we took home with us. We are looking forward to our next trip. I wonder where we'll go next.
