THE BEAUTIFUL ISLANDS OF THE VISAYAS, PHILIPPINES
The kids have always talked about wanting to do Horseback riding and the place we could think of for thatWe decided for a day trip to Papa Kits in Liloan as we have heard quite a few times about activities there that you can do as a faamily. There are a few adventure activities you and your kids could do together which is really fun. We spent an afternoon there to do all the activities we have lined up for the day. PapaKits in Liloan also boats a nice restaurant that serves very appetizing Seafood and Filipino food. We arrived at the resturant and started feasting on their awesome choices. We had to replenish the energy that we used up for the activities we did the whole day. We went to eat and had great food. Here are some ideas on what to do at PAPA KITS: Vacation time will always be Adventure time! This time around, we planned for a trip to Bantayan Island. I have visited Bantayan years ago and found it mesmerizing, this time around, I would like to take my whole family to see it with me. We travelled from Danao, my parents hometown, to Poblacion Danao City Cebu. This is going North of Cebu. We decided not to drive all the way to get to Hagnaya, we have decided to let the kids try road trip on a bus. Ceres buses were always available and they pass by Danao almost every 30 minutes. The challenging part though would be getting seats. We were lucky enough to get a seat. Hurray! Start of another adventure! Booked ahead a family room ahead, we picked Coucou Hotel and Restaurant thru Booking.com which is in Santa Fe, Bantayan Island. I spoke to the nice and friendly staff which advised that they will have a driver to pick us up at the ferry dock. We left Danao around 1pm and arrived at about 4pm in Hagnaya, San Remigio. From there, you will need to take a ferry to cross to the island of Bantayan. It is best as well to check the ferry schedules ahead just to make sure you don't reach there too late. The last ferry was scheduled at 5pm. As we arrived at the ferry port and the driver from the hotel was waiting there to pick us up. He drove us to the hotel which was just around 5minutes from the Ferry port. It was a nice site as we arrived at the Coucou hotel because the ambience was very welcoming. We settled in the hotel room, changed clothes and headed to have dinner. The place was child friendly, there was a pool table as well that the kids tried to play with. Food at the restaurant was okay, their drinks were awesome as we had varieties of Milk shakes. After dinner, we decided to walk around the area and go towards the beach area. Started walking to that direction but noticed that there weren't much light posts around, the area doesn't seem to be quite lit so we just decided to put the tour for the morning. Early to bed, early to rise. The next day was a day set for an adventure. Woke up early to find a nice breakfast place for us to chill and relax.
