A Chronicle - Trip to Moalboal, Cebu

On November 23, 2017, the family left Sumilon Island for a land trip to Moalboal, a coastal town situated on the southern section of Cebu City. On the way, we stopped by a scenic spot called Cusina Organica for lunch. The place was built on stilted structure along the sea shore. From the tropical hut along the coast, I simply loved looking out to the sea. The air was clean and breezy, the water was bluish, the sea floor was transparent, the big waves were calming. Such idyllic lunch-stop made us all very hungry. Hahaha!

Hungry people waiting for lunch. Haha!

After lunch, off we went to Moalboal. Before reaching our beach resort, we stopped by Kawasan Falls. I had been to Kawasan Fall 12 years ago. The fall was already commercialized long before, but this time, more so. I was dismayed. The surroundings became totally ugly to me because of the low costs lodgings on site and the dirty looking plastic umbrellas, tables and chairs for rent at the falls venue. There was even a karaoke blasting during our walk to the fall, although the brooks and streams and the falls were really pretty. I suggest, there should be a preservation of our natural scenery, I propose.

Its me at Kawasan Falls. Haha!








And on we trekked back to our parked van and proceeded to Moalboal. We stayed at Resort Serena along the stretch of the White Sand Beach. It was almost dusk. We took our dinner and had much discussion on what to do and where to go the next morning. Majority decided to stay at the beach and swim the next morning instead of going to Pescadores for snorkeling or go for sardine watch. We didn't have enough time to do all these things. The tide was low during our swim the next morning though, but the water was refreshingly cool and clear. I could clearly see school of blue fishes swimming among live corals with my naked eyes. We should have stayed here for more days, I thought. But alas we have to move along for another fun destination and lunch. Tom had arranged our trip like clock work. Didn't get to take many pictures at Moalboal though. We spent most of our time swimming on the beach the whole morning through.

Lucas ran out of t-shirts. Yuri brought him his father (Tom) shirt. Here I took a picture of grandpa and grandson in matching t-shirts inside our beach cottage. Hahaha! I love this picture totally. So very cute!!!
