Our day 2 was packed with activities - Parola (lighthouse), Caving and Island Hopping. :) PAROLA First, we woke up at 5:30AM so we could visit the lighthouse. Locals call it Parola. We rented a motorbike for P60 each. Then if you want to tour the entire island, just add P40.

Welcome to Barangay Asluman, Carles Iloilo!!! :P During our entire trip in Gigantes, we stayed in Gigantes Hideaway Resort or Gigantes Hideaway Tourist Resort. Prior to coming, we reserved a room good for 3. Accommodation is only P200/person/night!! Very cheap right?!!! And you can stay in wherever rooms available for the same price!

I was browsing through the internet one day, researching about my first travel destination for 2013, Iloilo, when I stumbled upon this photo... This popular shot is taken from Cabugao Gamay, one of the islands in Gigantes. Isn't this paradise???!!! I knew instantly this is where I'm going to be....

From Manila, we arrived in IloIlo International Airport quarter to 1 in the afternoon. After meeting our friend who arrived in Iloilo earlier than us, we kinda got lost on what to do next... There was a little brainstorming going on while at the airport. We have yet to decide how we can leave the airport and reach the town. Second, where to stay. Third, where to eat.
