Camotes Island 2010

April 2010 – Camotes Island is exactly what we imagined it to be: quiet and full of white sand.

Heading to Camotes Island was almost an hour drive away from Cebu City to Danao which is North of Central Visayas. You can always get on a public vehicle for P20 or van for more.

Camotes The Island

One of the islands that I have always wanted to conquer in the Cebu-Visayas Region is Camotes Island among others and it is just sad that we only got to stay there overnight. When friends decided to go there on a Sunday, you have no choice but to get back the next day because your work after all is your priority. Well, we have to grow up sometime. Wink.

Given that the whole trip going to the island takes about 3 hours the most, the group was already up at 4am Sunday morning and hopped on the first public vehicle we saw that would take us to Danao Terminal. A small ferry then crossed all the way to the whatever Ocean and brought us to the province of Camotes.
