Hongkong Disneyland (Day 3 in Hongkong)

I am very excited in our third day in Hongkong as we planned to visit Disneyland for a whole day tour. We are not having a hard time in getting there as it is just a train ride away from the hotel we stayed and the MTR station is just a block away from the hotel.

finally.. :)
I feel 15 years younger than my age

day pass tickets and park guides.. this is it!

We spent the rest of our night in Mongkok night market to buy pasalubong. It is more like Divisoria in Manila. :)

A day in Macau (2nd day in Hongkong)

On our ur second day in Hongkong we decided to transfer to Macau since it will only take an hour and a half via ferry to reach there and said that immigration is not strict for tourists.

Using my phones GPS we got our direction to the ferry terminal, we walked about 10minutes to reach there. Great thing Hongkong – Macau ferries travel every hour so it did not took too long for us to wait to get in the ferry.

Again I got a tourist map from a Filipino we met in the ferry terminal

Hotel and Casino Shuttles to and from the ferry terminal are for free. You can ride as much as u can.lol

Our first stop, The Venetian

Again, we took a shuttle from Galaxy to Starworld Hotel, again for free. Hihihi. From Starworld we walked around the place to see more attractions around.

We want to bring this home. LOL

Found along the sidewalks going to St. Paul Ruins, they offer free taste for these


St. Paul ruins
From St. Paul Ruins, we walked back our way to Starworld Hotel to take a free shuttle back to the ferry terminal. For this Macau trip, we never spend a penny for the taxi fares, everything is for free. Thanks to the hotels and casinos for the free ride.


Again, we took Turbo Jet from Macau to Hongkong

Camiguin White Island

This is an unplanned getaway with my future adventure buddy (my son). We are just so bored since it's already summer and we both want to hit the beach. Camiguin Island is bus and a ferry away from home but we had the courage to travel since the place is best know as one of the great place to visit on summer.

It took 2 hours bus ride from home to Balingoan then we took a ferry to Benoni for an hour and a half. The kid enjoyed the trip since it is his first time to ride an open-air ferry. From Benoni port we took a jeep to Mambajao for our accomodation at GV Hotels and booking of a 24-hour motorcycle for rent that only cost 500Php. After settled we headed to Ardent Hot Spring for swimming then at the public beach just in Mambajao. We spent the rest of the day having a good rest for our early trip to White Island.
@ the ferry
We got up early had our breakfast at a friend's place in Mambajao then headed to Paras Beach Resort to take a boat to White Island.

That's all for our White Island adventure. Hope we can get back to this paradise-like place.

tried Mambajao's fish ball and making friends with the vendor. :)
