by: Shanna Mae I Minaling

Here’s the catch, I am in Gen Santos City or should I say gen san. And will tell you all about my travel in this wonderful place. So what are you wanting for let’s go.

It’s four hours of bus ride from Davao city to General Santos City, my first impression of the place was quite good, but later on I will show you why I choose to feature this place even though I been gone to so many places.

This are the sample picture I have taken during our travel.

We really enjoyed our travel here even though our monthly savings was been reduce to ash because of this vacation it will still the best travel I have experience. So the trip here cost 1.k but if you have a private vehicle to hope on or use it will just be the gasoline that you would worry to reach this amazing place.

The people here are so kind and thoughtful even though we are not home we felt like this place is just like our home because of the people and the environment.

Also foods here are so tasty

Overall we have a great time, here in Gen San. Our whole family was relax and appreciate the place and also the locals here.

Albert’s journey

Our journey to Gen. Santos City or Gen San was remarkable. At first I thought it would be a boring trip but later on I ate my words. That’s why let’s begin.

Its was roughly 4hrs bus ride at first I was just looking at the window but every time we pass by a city I always saw sports car like Camaro, Mustang, Nissan gtr and many more.

I also enjoyed the view and the scenery is so beautiful.

Before we headed to our relatives we first visits some mall in Gen San

I found this mall unique from others cause KCC do not exist in Davao that’s why I get to tour this huge mall it’s 25 mins of taxi ride from the bus stop to there.

I also took some pictures of the places we pass by.

I also took some pictures of the road so that I can remember the route.

This is the place were we relatives meet up again for so many years.

Adventure Time

When places makes the healing “Lake Cebu”

At first, why I end up in this amazing place? So let beginning!

Its in the month of march, I don’t specifically remember the date but this adventure did pack a lot. Before the day of going to lake Cebu I do not have any idea that we will travel for some reason it’s just an impromptu idea that has happened. It’s 4 hrs and 16 mins of travel

I still remember the laughter that we have while driving towards our destination. We almost missed a street that if we did will add more time of travel. But luckily we did not. Our first stop, the 7 falls Souvenir shop

I will not forget how the people treat us here they are very kind and approachable people, they also helped us to were to go next, and before the souvenir here are beautiful and very customizable that’s why I will give this shop 9/10 rating. We next headed to a resort to check in for this almost 3days adventure.

This is Punta Isla Lake Resort this resort has 4.2 star rating as what I remember. We really love our stay here because the place is so cozy the humidity of the air is so cool the ambiance of the place is so vibrant. The rooms here are so unique I wish I could show some pictures of the room and the reception area because it is so fine. And even in a short period of time we have some amazing memories here with my friends and cousins. The foods here are so astonishing the seafood here is very tasty. It’s not over price it’s just it’s very worth it in every moment because everything in this place synchronize. In the next morning we headed next to the first attraction the Bakngeb River Cave.

The river here is so cool the water has some sort of cooling effect. The place is beautiful and very wonderful.

And our next destination was Kangko Falls

Its a small but spacious one, it’s almost 4 hrs of travel for our hotel to this spot cause there are some part that you must walk that’s why it took us a while to reach it.

And lastly all of this adventure did fix me from all of the tragedy and heart breaks that I have experience in this past few months. And this adventure thought me that even though you are hot spot of your life you will always find a room to breath and relax so that you can come back strong and fix. I know that this adventure of mine might be smaller compare to the others I must say this one hits me hard.

That’s all and thank you for your time in reading my blog. Godbless and have a good day.
