We liked Bakhaw Beach so much that we almost came back the last day. In fact, we already moved our boat trip to Mactan from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM just so we’d have enough time to spend there. But after weighing the pros and cons (cons? what cons??), we decided to just spend the day in the resort. We paid premium for our room and we planned to get the most out of our money.
Our second day tour was as jampacked as our first. We were able to visit an island, a lake, three beaches, and three caves.
I am torn. Part of me wants to keep my Camotes experience to myself for fear of the possible exploitation tourism entails, while the other part wants to share its beauty with others. As a fellow blog-reader, I know how hard it is to find an updated entry on these islands so I feel responsible for introducing to my reader the paradise that is Camotes…

THE TRIP
06:30 LesLo and I woke up early to find Jomalia Shipping Corporation terminal in Mactan. Jomalia is the only company that offers fast craft service from Mactan to Camotes. My Cebuana officemate suggested this transit instead of taking the Danao route, which will take at least four hours. Mactan terminal was relatively new and I could not find any website that would give us directions. We decided to look for the place early in the morning to buy tickets, return to the hotel for breakfast, checkout, then head to the terminal. From the hotel, we took a taxi to Cebu Yacht Club, our landmark. We found the terminal called Mactan Wharf. Transportation: Php 55.00
DATE STAYED: April 28, 2012 – May 2, 2012 (5d/4n)
THE RATE: 480 THB/day (For consistency’s sake, 30 THB is 43 PHP)

THE TRIP
07:00-08:00 Our airport transfer is scheduled to pick us up from our hostel around 1:00PM, in time for our 3:40PM flight back to Manila via Tiger Airways. That gave us the whole morning to do what we do best… shop. Do we really have the time? Don’t malls open around 10AM? Will we make it back before 1:00PM? These are some of the questions I asked myself and divimom. We don’t know but we decided to go anyway. Transportation: 12 THB each
