First Travel for 2011: Davao

Early last year, Gillian mentioned to Eia and me that she would go to Davao in January 2011 to attend the baptism of her friend's baby, she would be one of the godmothers. Gillian asked if we want to go with her... and before we all know it, the three of us were off to Davao! ;)

We left for Davao on 13 January and went back to Manila on 17 January.

I don't have a digicam so I just used my lomocam, Golden Half Chelsea. Here are some photos taken using my Chelsea.

14 January, at Marina Wharf, waiting for our transfer to Pearl Farm
At Pearl Farm
After taking some photos at Pearl Farm, we decided to check out the nearby island, Samal. Pearl Farm provides speed boat for the transfer. 
 
When we arrived at Samal Island, which is just 5 minutes away from Pearl Farm, we were so delighted because noone was there, the island's just for the 3 of us! ;)

Here's Eia and Gillian, taking some "me time" 
 
Guess who? ;) This is for picture-purposes only... Thanks Gill for taking this photo.
 
Taken by Eia, this is our favorite spot because of the sunshade. ;)
After staying for more than 3 hours in Samal Island, just enjoying the peace and quiet, we went back to Pearl Farm for the buffet lunch at around 2pm;)

We left Pearl Farm at 4pm. I enjoyed our trip back a lot, the sea, the horizon, the sun and the skies, the music bed, the "me" time, everything. I was literally teary-eyed, I felt so much peace in my heart while I was communicating with God, thanking Him for the wonderful time with my wonderful friends on that wonderful place.  
15 January, Gillian and I went to Eden Nature Park while Eia met her friend from General Santos.

We saw this very beautiful peacock, so white and ethereal!
Save Mother Earth Now. :)
 
Some more photos from Gillian and Eia's digicams will be shared on my next post...
