Di masasawi sa ganda ng tawi tawi city!!

Opo, kasya at kinaya ng 8k yung gala na to. 🤣🤣 Since 2015, I started fulfilling my dreams and breaking my fears of travelling; specially on this region. 🤔 On my 24th birthday, napili kong i-unlock ang ganda ng Zamboanga, Basilan at Tawi-Tawi with my Travel BFF Ian Bris. ❤️😎 Here's our itinerary. Day 1- Zamboanga 💪 Since late na kami nakarating ng Zamboanga around 6pm. Nag check in muna sa CityInn Hotel then we decided to walk around the city na lang kahit gabi. Hindi naman nakakatakot mag lakad lakad kasi puro mga sundalo makikita mo. May curfew lang silang 10pm, same dito sa Manila. Day 2- Basilan 👏 A. 8am, nakarating kami sa Zamboanga Port. Approximately 1hr to 1hr and 30mins ang byahe. RoRo will cost you Php170 then terminal fee of Php11. B. 9:30am, nakarating na kami ng Basilan. Lakad lakad ulit; Basilan Capitol, Sta. Isabel de Portugal Cathedral, Isabela City Plaza. C. Bumalik kami ng port at 12:30pm para pumunta sa Malamawi Island. Special boat trip to Malamawi Island is Php100, then habal papuntang resort Php50. Checked-in at Malamawi Island Resort, and the beach is stunning! 😱 Ang ganda ng buhangin, close to pulbo na e, super pino. And we enjoyed watching sunset throughout the day. Day 3- Going back to Zamboanga 😋 A. Bago bumalik ng Zamboanga, ayun nilubos lubos na namin ang pagligo sa beach, hindi masakit sa mata sumisid, sarap sisirin. Char! 🤣 Nag check out kami ng 8am, and luckily, nakaabot kami sa 9am trip pa Zamboanga. B. Pagkarating ng Zamboanga, nag lunch muna kami since another trip na naman ang gagawin namin. Ang Merloquet Falls ng Zamboanga. C. Sa Zamboanga Integrated Bus Terminal makakasay papuntang Brgy. Vitale, at dun ang jump-off papuntang Falls. Php175 ang fare papuntang Vitale- 1hr ang byahe, then maghahabal papuntang falls. D. Ang konti ng tubig that time pero the waterfalls itself is magnificent, maaraw pero ang lamig ng tubig. E. After 2hrs of staying sa Merloquet Falls, we decided to go back in Zamboanga. Need naming magprepare for Tawi-Tawi adventure tomorrow. Day 4- Tawi-Tawi ❤️ A. 6:30am ang flight namin papuntang Tawi-Tawi, CebPac has 2 flights every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday per week and 45mins ang travel time from Zamboanga. Since Sunday kami pumunta, uuwi din kami kinabukasan. Pagbaba ng eroplano, feeling local kami e. 😂 Tipong hindi namamansin ng mga nagtatanong kung maghahabal ba kami or what kasi wala naman talaga akong itinerary on this province, I only have Bud Bongao and Bongao town proper lang on my list. And to our surprise, si Kuya Brod Durogs, approached us kasi nasa terminal kami ng motor. And he asked kung gusto daw ba naming magpa tour, sinabi naming "Go sa tour." ☺️ B. Pinuntahan yung Boloboc Cave, Lakit-Lakit Maritime Conservation Area, and Mindanao State University- Tawi-Tawi campus, College of Fisheries Museum. We had Malaysian food as lunch on this day. We tried Me Goreng and Satti. #staycation #themepark #campingglamping #foodie #urbanexplorer #summervacation
