Last April 24-25, 2014 I experienced a series of first time. It's my first time to join a company outing with my PKI - POG family. It's my first time to travel for a long hours by land (estimated time travel is 8 hours). It's my first time to do island hopping and of course my first time close - encountered with Enchanted River, Hinatuan Falls and the extreme Sarcoza Caving. A series of first time indeed.
In order to avoid the crowd, we decided to travel at night (actually, some of my workmates came from their 2nd shift duty) . Around 3 in the morning, the group decided to stop over somewhere in Cabadbaran.Yeah!
it's also my first time to pee in the dark - forest area HAHAHAHA left with no choice :)
ENCHANTED RIVER
So we arrived at Hinatuan as early as 6 am ( we were actually the first group to arrive). Upon arriving at the place we ate our breakfast and was fantasized by the beauty of the Enchanted River.The cool - colored - deep - blue river remains so majestic yet it's so tempting to swim. While the shallow part is colored aquamarine - the best place for those who don't know how to swim. Here are some of the photos taken during our trip.

I just love the water :D |

SARZOSA CAVE
Just a few hour boating from the Enchanted River, I experienced the extreme caving at Sarzosa Cave. There are big rocks and stones which allows myself to struggle a lot every time I passed by
because it is slippery when wet too hahahaha. Scary it is yet it's full of extreme adventure. Let's take a glimpse through our photos,

TINUY - AN FALLS
We left Enchanted River around 1 o'clock in the afternoon (just right after the feeding of the fish) and travel to Tinuay - an Falls. I was so amazed with the natural beauty of the falls. Indeed, God's creation reveals His majesty. Here are some of the photos;

INTERNATIONAL DOLL HOUSE
Our next destination is the International Doll House located in Bislig, Surigao del Sur (approx. 44 mins from Hinatuan). In this place you'll see hundred different kinds of Dolls naay murag tsanak promise hahahaha I love dolls when I was a kid but when I reached the place, I felt scared big time. I imagine those featured dolls in a horror movies that I have watch.

We had our dinner at La Entrada Resort in San Agustin , 74km from International Doll House (almost 2 hours travel). We stayed here for one night to enjoy Britania Island Hopping on the next day. |
