The perfect white sands of Moalboal greeted our eyes!

Amidst the flocking tourists in Moalboal and an active tourism industry, it is still a fourth income class municipality.

After a cool dip at Mantayupan Falls, we took our swimming to Moalboal. I can't say much about our trip because we feasted our eyes over the handsome foreign nationals (just kidding!). We were too preoccupied with swimming, I forgot to take photos.

The beauty of the white beach truly overwhelms a tired soul.

March 3, 2011, all of our pals were in Manila for a tour with Doc Tiglao. That left me and Lukring to decide on planning a trip bound for Moal Boal. It was tiring and fun all at the same time. But what we never expected was how we managed to enjoy the trip with just the both of us. The ride from South Bus Terminal to Moal Boal cost us less than 150.00 per person. Arriving in the municipality, a long 8-kilometer tricycle ride was the most exhausting part. We arrived at a Beach Resort. The cottage was only 300 considering there were only two of us. 

 

The waves were inviting. Nothing beats a white beach. 

 

We had a little walk by the shore. The beauty was astounding. As always, it is always relaxing to see nature as it is. No noise. No hassle. No busy street. No pollution.

"WISH YOU WERE HERE - Moalboal" We wanted to show our friends this. :)

 

 

We decided to visit the other municipalities nearby.
We happened to ride a jeep going to Dumanjug, then another jeep bound for Barili. From there, fortunately, we were able to ride a bus going back to Cebu - that part I like most (although we stood for the whole duration of our travel, it was still enjoyable since we were heading home).

Our Budget: 1,500.00 for 2 persons (1 day, inclusive of food) was enough.
