Adventure Time to Moalboal

Plan A was to go to Camotes Island but because a storm was about to hit Cebu, we decided to go to Moalboal instead. 

How to go to Basdaku, Moalboal:
1. Ride a bus from the South Bus Terminal to Moalboal
    - Terminal fee: P5.00 / person
    - Bus fare: P107.00 / person
    - Travel time: 3 hours
2. Get off at the Moalboal "lungsod" or town and ride a tricyle to Basdaku.
    - Tricycle fare: P20.00 / person will do
    - Entrace fee (for Basdaku): P5.00 / person
3. Pick a place to stay

There are cottages you can rent or you can just set up a tent. Or just stay on the shore, you can entrust your things at a store settled at the beach shore. 
There are public showers you can use for P5 - 10.00.



Mike and I decided to stay at HR Beach Resort.
Room rates were reasonable but I bet you can get cheaper ones somewhere else.
We got the Standard Airconditioned Room for 2 for P1,500.00
The room had 1 matrimonial bed, a cabinet/ shelf for your things and a clean bathroom (with shower).
The resort provides complimentary towels, tissue paper and soap.

HK Beach Resort Restaurant is open from 7 am to 7 pm.
 Breakfast Meal: Bacon and Egg

 Breakfast Meal: Corned Beef and Egg

Road Trip: Take Plan B

Mike and I have been thinking of going in out of town vacation for weeks and finally we did it!
The initial plan was to go to Camotes Island for a 1 night stay but due to weather problems, we decided to go to Moalboal. 
We did not have any plan at all. Just go ride a bus to Moalboal, an that's it. 
All did not have anything else with us except our bag full of clothes, 1.5 liter of water and 2 packs of chips. 




Plan B: Just go swimming somewhere in Cebu --outside the city.
This was taken somewhere in Barili, in a fast moving bus, with my phone.
I just saw the beautiful view, called Mike's attention, immediately snapped a photo and breathed it all in.
It was the best way to spend Mike's RD.
Be spontaneous. Live in the moment.
