Bataan Escapade - April 9, 2018

in #beach7 years ago (edited)

I just want to share my first time going to a beach in my whole life.

On the midnight of April 8, 2018, we started our journey going to Morong Star Beach Resort & Hotel through the SCTEX.

Despite the battling of my sleepiness on the road, I managed to take a picture of our way and capture (though far away) the beautiful landscapes within the SCTEX.

Then being a sleepyhead myself, I passed out and woke up when we are on the destination already. Haha.

As I said earlier, this is my first time going to a beach and I was mesmerized by the horizon of the sea with the accompaniment of the blue sky and this semi-lighthouse of the beach resort.

So before I splashed my way to the sea, we first took pictures.

(By the way this is my partner then in that time, still love her though)

After the pictorial, it's time to take a dip to the salty sea. And it's really salty. I never thought that the sea is this salty. Hahaha. But it was freaking relaxing <3

And the hands-of-the-drowning

After a while, my family decided to go island hopping. And this was the best activity of all!

The island was like a hidden paradise and it comes with white saaaand!

Footprints in the sand

After that, we sail across the sea and stop for a while in the middle to do some snorkeling! I haven't have the courage to take a picture of the seabed but the water is so clear and it's like there's a whole new world beneath!

and ending this one day trip to paradise we did some kayaking and riding the zipline but we do not have pictures on the zipline because eh, it was freaking scary.

and that ends my first beach experience in my whole life. It was so amazing and I am thankful that I experienced it with the most significant people of my life. I didn't have the chance to document the journey going home because, hello, I'm a sleepyhead, I just slept from Bataan to Malolos, Bulacan all the way. Haha. That is all! Thank you for reading!
