Remembering Guimaras Sidetrip

June 3, 2011

Famous for its sweet mangoes, Guimaras is relatively quiet. But just like any other island-province it the country, this place has a lot to offer for those who will go the extra mile. Well, the picture says it all. Formerly part of Iloilo province, Guimaras is the place-to-be if you are looking for a quiet beach escape.

It was 2009 when I had the chance to take a side trip in Guimaras in line with my Iloilo vacation. It was short but worth the effort to cross the Iloilo straight and ride a motorcycle in order to find another paradise. It was unfortunate though that we didn’t bring extra clothes should we decide to take a dip. And yeah, the next word is regret. Nonetheless, we still managed to enjoy the place. Believe it or not, we were the only people in the beach area when these pictures were taken. I think I already mentioned quiet beach escape, right?
