CAMIGUIN Transportation Guide | How To Get There & Directions
Saturday, January 28, 2012
Getting back on the road was my break from the stress that I was carrying around my back for some few weeks then. So when I got an invite from a good friend to visit Camiguin, I was quick to say yes. Okay. So she has been inviting a group of us to visit the island but we could never agree on a date, so the timing was all too perfect to distress that I travelled with no itinerary but only a map of the island and memory to serve me right -- by myself.
Camiguin is an island province in the Philippines and is one of the backpackers destination places that is off the northern coast of the Northern Misamis Oriental. It is the second smallest province both in population and land area --- and one of my favorite islands. Visiting Camiguin for the nth time has been more of a laid back catching up with a good friend thingy for me. Seeing how far life has progress and the comfort that Camiguin is still the Camiguin I remembered from my previous visits was a thumbs upper.

So I swallowed my pride on having "photographic" memory, using that as my guide to remembering details on my trips. This time, I took with me a little white notebook and a pen and constantly taking notes along the way. LOL. I never got it with people who take down notes when on the road -- until I became one. Thanks to a random conversation/interview I had with a travel blogger friend. Hope this one helps guys.
