IronCebu 2015

Our annual trip to Mactan, Cebu for the ironman and ironkids triathlons commenced on July 31 with a 3:00am start and a half-eaten granola bar. Once at Shangri-La's Mactan Resort and Spa (our home for the next week) we began activities by registering for the races and viewing the wonder that is Shangri-La's marine sanctuary. After an eventful weekend of cheering and racing, we had 4 days of more snorkelling, diving, parasailing, flyfishing, wake boarding, jet-skiing, bodyboarding and even a trip to the city of Cebu where we walked around a building on the 37th floor.

Caramoan - Camarines Sur 2015

Caramoan is a municipality located in the province of Camarines Sur. We stayed at Hunongan cove, a small cluster of beach houses nestled in between remarkable cliffs filled with lush greenery and the crystal waters of the Maqueda channel. I spent 4 days snorkelling, poking at jellyfish, swimming to other islands, cliff jumping, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and cheering on my parents at the island hopping 7 kilometre swim challenge. To me, the experience felt exactly like the one I had in the more popular El Nido, Palawan, minus the many boats of tourists. One thing I would say is that, because it is so remote, I would suggest you bring some snacks and torches.
