Post #15: Island Hopping

6/20/2016

3 Comments

 
Over the weekend, we went island hopping in a banca, a traditional Filipino fishing boat.   Island hopping is taking a boat to different islands and getting off at each island to swim, eat or just relax. I now know why the total number of islands in the Philippines varies (people usually say there are over 7,000) - we went to one today called Vanishing Island, which becomes completely submerged after high tide (and therefore is no longer an island while it is under water!). We swam in the Pacific Ocean at each of the three islands we visited and had a delicious feast of mango, Adobo, rice, chicken and santol, an exotic tropical fruit.  After the island hopping, we visited a place that was a pit stop in the television show Amazing Race.
