note: this will be my last installment of my roxas city-boracay trip. hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i had posting. =)
cuzes, bro and moi on our first day in roxas. it drizzled again late in the afternoon so it's cloudy as you can see. this was where we heard those (drunk) guys singing/shouting at the nearby ktvs.
tu-KO! (gecko) this is a very big lizard we saw on the first night. it's as fat as my arm and about 7 inches long... and that's just the baby. eep!
roxas city coastline with an island at the backdrop. my tita has a beach house here where we ate lunch the day before we went home. there was a fishing boat on the shore then (not pictured), so it smelled a bit fishy. the fishermen were able to have a good catch that day.
enjoying the sun, sand and sky! (and the water, too! ü)
standing on fine black/gray sand at low tide. it may be of a dark color, but it's as fine as the sand on station 1 in boracay. (which means the sand in station two is a bit coarser. ü)
yay katakot naman un lizard, parang kasinlaki na ng bayawak un ah!
ReplyDeleteanyhu this beach looks familiar, di ko sure kun jan kami nagswimming ng mga pinsan ko nun pumunta ko sa mindoro
Uy! The sand is so fine ... Almost silk-like ... Wow.
