"The best moments are the unplanned ones that just happened but make your day perfect." - Unknown
Indeed, sometimes, its better to have things unplanned...
Together with my long-time travel buddies have some places in mind to visit. Some of them are still part of our bucket-list.
Originally, the plan is to go to Sorsogon in Bicol since it's a long weekend (National Heroes Day) but due to some things to consider such as the rainy weather and of course the waves, we cancelled it.
Since we want to push through with the trip, Vin checked on various events that are still looking for joiners, so we end up joining the Maniwaya Island located in Marinduque. Maniwaya Island, it is! Still in our bucket list with good weather condition. Yey!
We joined the event hosted by Sabit Wanderer and below is the itinerary.
Maniwaya Island, Palad Sandbar, Ungab Rock Formation and Mongpong Island

DeleteHow often does it get rainy? Otherwise looks pretty fun!
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the season so it is advisable to go on March-April as it is our summer season to enjoy the beach.
