First solo trip @Corregidor Island

Last May 28, 2012 finally I was able to fulfill one of my long plans and that is to be able to do a solo trip. My first solo trip was at Corregidor Island, which is in Southwestern part of Luzon Island of the Philippines.

I thought that going here alone is boring but I was wrong coz listening to the tour guide, keeping your eyes amazed looking around plus taking pictures will make you busy.. and oh I forgot grinding all those histories is enough to make you busy and think, so it was not boring after all.. its just a little bit tiring and exhausting (as in exhausting on how my bat cam got exhausted) walking under the tremendous hit of the sun. 

The trip started w/ a ferry ride from Manila bay to the Island, it leaves the shore at about 8:00am and it took us 75 minutes to reached the Island. During the trip as I wasn't able to eat well before the travel I feel nausea and close to throwing up fortunately I was able to control it, thank God we have reached the Island and the historical tour started w/ kuya Armand as our tour guide.

The trip thou is a bit expensive for a 6-7 hours day trip that cost P2300 for day tour but I could say its worth it..good thing I took tranvia no. 2 we had good tour guide. W/ this tour package it includes buffet lunch at Corregidor Inn, so I make sure that I full my stomach with varieties of foods that you can chose from. 

Probably next time I'll stay overnight but this time w/ friends because there are lot of activities that can do like trekking, camping, ghost hunting and other else. I did enjoy my solo trip and I Loved it.. it is indeed it's more fun (& educational) in the Philippines c",)



Who said stewards are for planes only, Ferry have too.

Its is said that Corregidor is shaped like a "tadpole"
