Backpacking Surigao Del Norte to Del Sur

Surigao Trip

February 2011

Siargao: A Surfing Paradise

General Luna , Surigao Del Norte

2hrs Ferry Ride from Surigao City to Surigao Del norte (roughly around 200php/head)

We decided to push through with GL instead of Soccoro (original plan)

since our Del Sur visit took our whole first day (for bus/Habal-Habal rides)

Dapa Port (Siargao's main port town).

Passing lots of well developed Resorts to Cloud9 (this is tourists haven)

Yeap this is white sand - the largest part of GL with Sand

We decided to (originally) stay for 2 nights but changed plan to an overnight stay

- and explore Surigao City instead.

Patrick's on the beach - BEST Resort in General Luna

I love the beach area. The owner is right, they have the best beach front.

Best Service and courteous staff too

They are selling this for 450/fish - if the whole team is there, I'm sure we have bought this two.

Will try this next time -it was close when we passed bay.

Surfer Sculpture

Kupz with Loloy we met him along our way to Cloud9

and offered to teach us the basics of surfing - hmmm not now :P

Photo opps - Sariling sikap yan :)

Blooding landing ito kung nagkataon - dahil puro waves + corals hahaha

Started loving this watermelon ice drop

Reminds me of Bora Station 1 (errr 2002?)

OeTTINGER 8.9

Brewing Tradition since 1731 - was down after 1 can hahaha

Andreas (The man behind Patrick's on the Beach) Welcome Drink

- his own concoction Yohoho Rum

According to my boyfriend (it tasted very good because of the mango bits)

The best place to lounge around

Got Room 18 by chance

We were awake almost all night - the place was safe and they have someone roving the vicinity during our whole stay

Surigao Del Sur

Tinuy-An Falls and Enchanted River

Finally! One of my dream destination - Enchanted River

Can't wait to dive in the bottomless pit!

He needs to try it first hahaha Guinea Pig

I felt like -it's pulling me to jump as well but since no one will watch our bags

I waited for him 'till he is exhausted crossing the lagoon back and forth

Into the Blue

Yes! My turn!

was excited to jump in

taking the plunge

this is like 5-10 minutes after the jump

10-15 minutes after the jump and I was freaking out -I can clearly see the steps but can't reach it. It's like pulling me down- (okay my mind just is playing tricks on me - scary shit!)

She was out after 30minutes hahaha

Kupz needs to dive in again.. the trip was like 5-6hours

and we were there for like 45minutes to an hour
