The stars shine so bright
Heaven can’t be miles away
For it is right here-Allisson Liddle
Beyond the roadblocks of delayed flights and bad weather, we were determined to make the most out of our summer plans. Bring it on!
Let our weekend adventure begin. We pulled off a flight marathon to Siargao and finally settled down in a secluded resort along the coastlines of Burgos town.
Palm tree’s ocean breeze, lets go crusin you and me
salty air sun kissed hair, endless summer take me there
This is Part 1 of Our Siargao Getaway.
I must have mistaken the early warnings of nature with Cebu Pacific’s lack of competency when my red-eye flight was delayed by 2 hours. The grounds being technical difficulties and bad weather. I have a feeling that this isn’t going to be an easy travel even if I packed light.
Summer is kind of like the ultimate one-night stand:
hot as hell, totally thrilling, and gone before you know it.

The smell of summer comes right out of a fine powdery sands, calling out some wandering feet to hit the beach!
Time to indulge in a sinful summer love affair in a scene of gentle wind blowing kisses against our skin and the majestic blue sea humming soft lullaby all day. Our restless soul surrenders to a one-night only, three nights of thrilling adventures and misadventures.
To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel
is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time,
to be in a position in which almost nothing
is so familiar it is taken for granted.~ Bill Bryson
A visit to Thailand isn’t complete without a trip to a floating market. Escape to an exciting showcase of local custom, rustic atmosphere and colorful ambiance.
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.~ Oriah, Mountain Dreamer
I wake up on our 2nd day not feeling well. This is probably the effect of basking out on a hot weather the day before and cooling down at the mall afterwards. Bed rest is so tempting yet I wouldn’t dare missed the fun, so I bid goodbye to our lovely sanctuary and hit the road.
Sometimes backpacking and going on cheap vacation deals can be exhausting. Most often than not, a day in the life of a backpacker involves sharing bathroom with molds and defunct shower and sleeping on budget hostels with bedbugs and stinking smell. Yes, the worst part we can have over a great getaway.
A nomad I will remain for life,
in love with distant and uncharted places.~ Isabelle Eberhardt
After a hot midday tour at the Grand Palace, we moved on to few more temples. There are a lot of Wats nearby, and visiting all of them can be pretty mind blowing.
I love you when you bow in your mosque,
kneel in your temple, pray in your church.
For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.~Kahlil Gibran
Days before our trip to Thailand, I plotted our first day to be a walking tour around Bangkok. We are eager to do-it-ourselves rather than join the many travel tours offered around town. This saves us with more shopping money and quality time.
