We ended our summer with a blast! My friends and I (by the way we call ourselves, The Castaways), went to one of the most popular tourist attraction in Matalom, Leyte -- The Canigao Island!

Tacloban to Matalom is a 3hour trip. Fare is P200.00/head via a public utility van (Van Vans). From the highway we rode in a pedicab (P5.00 fare) going to the area where we could rent pump boats going to the Island. Matalom to Canigao Island is a 15minute trip, and we paid P45.00 (back and forth) for the fare.

It was almost 4:00pm when we reached the Island. We paid P20.00each for the entrance fee. And since there were no more cottages available for us, we opted to rent a tent for P300.00 and a mat for P80.00.

After setting up everything, we started going around the Island. Small stores were already established where you can buy foods, drinks, souvenir items and some other things you might need. They use generator as a source of electricity.

So these are some of the few remarkable things we saw in the island.

| The lighthouse. However, we didn't saw it's powerful flashing lights. |

| Summer Romance - Get a room please! |
 |
| Jellyfish - Don't touch it. |
 |
| Can't take his eyes off you! |
 |
| Of course - The fine, white sand! |
 |
| Corals everywhere! |
 |
| Sea Urchin - You may now rest in peace! |
 |
| Canigao Island -- At last! *phew* |
And by the way, this trip wouldn't be this FUN without them --- THE CASTAWAYS!

| The Splash! |
One day, these things will be remembered as one fun-filled summer 2011. And that I would be one of those people who will be proud to say: Oh yes! I've been in Canigao Island!
