I'm back again to continue my blog about our Surigao adventure. I know it's been a month already but I really want to take time in sharing all the details about our summer trip. If you have read my previous posts, our first day in Surigao del Sur was jam packed. Visiting the two renowned destination in Mindanao, tinuy-an falls in Bislig and enchanted river in Hinatuan. It was indeed a tiring day but absolutely fun. On the same day we went to San Agustin where Brittania group of island is located and where we will be staying our first night at Ysha's rest house. Finally, after long-hour of road trip we will be resting our tired feet. We left Hinatuan around 5pm so by 6pm we were still on the bumpy road on our way to San Agustin, travel time was two hours. The road going to San Agustin was really dark. There were only very few lights on the streets and lots of coconut trees. Some of my cousins were starting to tell about ghost stories, which added to the thrill. We arrived safely to our destination of stay :-) As we placed our things we ordered food for our dinner. I forgot what food we ordered but I remembered they were affordable and of course suuuuuuper yummy. Food in the province are just heavenly delicious. While taking our dinner we spotted a karaoke machine in the dining hall so instead of going back to the room we immediately grab the mic and started to make noise, lol. We have the dining hall on our own so we felt like we were having a concert that night even though we were all tired. Heck, we only see each other once a year so we made sure that we make memories despite the lack of sleep and rest.
The following day, we woke up soooo early, around 5:30am to start our island hopping. It was drizzling when we woke up so we were a bit worried. Good thing, by 6am the sun showed and smiled upon us, whew. We knew it will be another hell of a fun trip for adventure thirst like us. We visited four islands: naked island, hagonoy island, hiyor-hiyoran island and buslon island. Britannia is composed of 24 islands and islets. Six of which can be visited. I wouldn't know how to get there honestly since we rented a van for our entire Surigao trip. But I gathered few in formations from the local on how people can get there which I will be sharing at the end of this blog. For now, feel free to browse the photo below showcasing the stunning beauty of Brittania group of islands.
