A Throwback for the Family I Miss – Dapitan City

For three years of ups and downs, I’ve been working with these people. One great moment I had with them was during our Educational Trip to Dapitan City for 3 days and 2 nights. Aside from recalling the memories, I also feel that compulsion to share the whole experience with you. ^___^

The travel was more or less 8 hours from Cagayan de Oro. Of course, you have to ride the barge for a faster and safer way to arrive at Oroquieta City and another 4 hours road travel to Dapitan.

Finally! The best City Hall I’ve seen in my wanders. Peaceful, clean and green and fresh air is everywhere ❤

In our background is Casa Recidencia, the replica house of Rizal when he was exiled in Dapitan.

Travels would not be complete without visiting Cathedrals!

We rented a whole room good for 10-12 in Dakak Beach Resort. It’s a dormitory type, I don’t know how much as we let the agency arranged everything for us (sorrrrrrrry!!!). But here’s the white sandy beach.

The sun was too harsh so we hit the pool.

MUST TRY : Asia’s longest zip line. Compared to Dahilayan, it was scarier, thus, much fun and the view was so perfect. So much enjoyed the fly! lol. Costs 500 pesos and comes with a free horse back or ATV ride. Sulit!

What to do at night? That’s never a big problem. Gloria de Dapitan is a public park, perfect for dinner outs, bonding with buddies, pasalubong shopping and activities we tried such as bowling, billiards etc.

And please don’t forget the south’s mini Enchanted Kingdom–Fantasy Land. Felt like a kid again. ^.^

Since I don’t have enough strength to ride a real bull, I tried the machine operated one!

PLEASE TRY THIS TOO! It’s super fun!

ANOTHER MUST TRY: Fantasy Land Horror House. It’s the best horror house I’ve been. Great job to the whole  cast, you’ve given us heart attacks. lol  ^______^

That’s it! Always remember to be with the best companions because it makes the whole travel a total package. Sometimes, we might not notice it but, it’s the people we’re with that brings much more fun.

I miss you team Youth for Change. :*
