A GAZEBO OF JOURNEYS AND RANDOM THOUGHTS OF AN AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER. Life is a series of pictures. Some blurred, others vivid and sharp; some are panoramic while others are close-up views with tiny little flaws. You may be taken by a luxurious DSLR camera or a plain Point and Shoot Cam, but in the end, when all of the films are used up and all batteries empty, people all have one thing in common: what we leave are footprints in the sand, pictures in the album, and flashes of memories.

SURFING AT SIARGAO

the famous boardwalk in Cloud Nine
Cloud Nine in Siargao Island is the 9th BEST SURF SPOT IN THE WORLD, according to CNN

What you "should've done, must be done, will do" that I did at the SURFING CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES...

For a novice like me, one could rent a surf board and a trainer for only Php500/hr.
You also have an option to rent the surf board at Php300 for an hour or at Php500 for a day .
But if you're a surfer at heart, bring your own surf board and test your skills against the waves brought by the Pacific.


The swells were at the lowest (around 2-3 feet) when we arrived there (month of June). Our trainers said that it can swell as high as 8 feet on the months of September or October.

There are many surfing spots in Siargao, but the famous of which is in Cloud 9 in General Luna.
It has the trickiest waves known to mankind, which is why tourists, surfers and non-surfers alike gather in Siargao where International Surfing Competitions are held, most especially on the months of September and October.

Travels that satisfy the heart 
and fill the brain with cherished memories. 
This is TRAVEL-licious.
