Default Photos from Bantayan

We visited this beautiful island only for 2 days.
I must tell you that we had not booked anything before our trip, we decided last minute where to go (We allways travel like this - crazy , unorganized Greeks )
We stayed at Kota beach which was fantastic! Huts on the beach , rustic but with a/c and a lovely veranda to sit and enjoy the sun setting over the sandbar!It was an adventure just to go there and back, but i will always remember the enjoyable ride with the tricycle crossing a green tropical scenery of Bantayan!!
I start with the bangka (?) we crossed from Sagay to Bantayan.We traveled with 3 roosters and some men were playing cards standing around a wooden table covered with a towel for the whole trip. I wanted to get some more pictures but i didn't want to bother the people traveling with me..we were the only tourists in the bangka and everybody was looking at us..
An islet we passed by , and 3 pictures taken from the restaurant of Kota beach resort.
Well, i said enough...a picture is like 1000 words..

Go2dbeach,
Gorgious that place. Can surely easily compete with the ones at Rhodos
Time to change the date setting of your digital camera (2005 ??!)
It's on my list now,that place. Thanks for pics.

Thank you for sharing your pictures with us. There are so many amazing places in the Philippines and to see some of this real estate is really a great thing. Those pics look like postcards.

Very nice photos. I'm sure you have great memories attached to each of these.

I don't think anyone would object if you post more photos from outside of Negros
