Misibis (Part 2)

Day 2

After we ate breakfast, we headed off to the beach for some water activities! They offer a lot of water activities, motorized and not. The good thing is, the non-motorized activities are for free as long as no one else is using it. We hung out by the beach first then tried the Hobie Cat! I have always wanted to sail ever since my voice doctor showed me pictures of her sailing! The staff of Misibis Bay controlled the sail and we just sat there. We didn’t take any pictures because, well, we didn’t have any! It was fun and a bit scary! We traveled on zigzag until the shore was a tiny piece of land from our view. My brother and father were on the same side while my mother and I were on the other side. My brother and I were in front while our parents were behind us. On the first part of the ride, only my brother mainly got soaked. The water splashed on his face and body at almost every wave! It was so funny because he kept on laughing and talking! It was so fun! On the way back, I was the one that got soaked. I was not wearing goggles like the rest of my family. I wore shades. I had to hold them so they don’t go overboard. Saltwater in my eyes and nose. Not so fun but YOLO. My mom was afraid of deep waters so it’s also a YOLO moment for her. Our speed and the depth of the water would have made any fearful person scared like hell. My mom was cool.

After our first sailing!

I tried the standing paddle after. It was a lot harder than I thought! Balancing over wavy waters was pretty hard. I don’t surf either so imagine me. I was able to stand a few times though. I then decided to try wind surfing because I thought that it would be easier since I will be able to hold onto something. The staff told me some basic information and we hit the waters! I was pretty psyched when we moved! I did not really get some of his instructions because I am really specific with directions. His words did not always match with what he taught me at the shore and what we were doing on the waters. I got by though. It was super fun! He kept on giving instructions and I kept on asking so many questions. I fell a few times and it felt really good! There was a time though when we really fought against the wind with so much force and we didn’t fall! Achievement! I was able to windsurf with a guy with me on the board. Not bad, eh? It could have been better if I was alone but I didn’t mind! I was not very capable yet at that time. Besides, we had to ride the Hobie Cat again so I left. I plan on trying it again soon. Anyway, the second ride at the Hobie Cat was rougher! I wore my goggles already as a lesson learned. My brother was still laughing and talking too much. I was dragged by the water on the way back! Had I not held tightly, I would have gone off my seat and to the middle of the Hobie Cat, or worse, overboard! That was scary for me. Scary, but fun! There was a strap at our feet but I don’t think that it would help so much in that situation. I sunbathed for a while since I really wanted to get some tan. It was so legit because I even ordered mango juice while sunbathing. Too summer! 

Whaddup!

We swam at the pool after. We don't usually swim at the beach. I made the most of being under the sun before eating lunch. It was really yummy but it took so long to arrive. We went straight to the zipline area right after. Don't worry, no one puked. They had 2 ziplines and you really have to ride both to go at the main landing area. I loved the first one! It was the fastest (and quite scariest) one I have ridden so far. You even twist at the middle and hit the end really hard! I chanced upon a luge area in the making while on the ride! That would be another fun activity! The second one was shorter but the land below was deeper! It's fun, nonetheless.

We freshened up and rested for a while in the room before we had the sunset cruise. The water was still pretty rough so we went to Path B. Path A was overlooking Mayon. Path B was overlooking Rapu Rapu Islands. The boat was pretty cozy. We were around 10-15 and there were 3 staff members with us. They gave out free water and chips. My brother ate most of our share. The view was great! The water was clear. The rock formations were like the ones in Palawan. The staff warned us that the stone in front of us when we stopped was with wild monkeys! No monkeys were in sight though. Thank goodness. We had a short dinner after and we went to bed.

The view!

See that island in the middle? The guy said that stray cats are put and left there with no food whatsoever. I feel bad for the cats!

Day 3

We swam in the pool nearest us. It felt very private because we were the only ones who used it! I did a few laps and showered after. We had to leave early for our flight at 2 in the afternoon. We waited for some guests 30 minutes after expected time of departure and we did more waiting at the airport itself. We decided to eat at Buffet, a restaurant that is a stone's throw away from the airport. Their buffet was only around 200 pesos and their food was yummy! I personally loved chicken adobo. Their iced tea in a pitcher cost less than 50 pesos. Their place even had a view of the CCTV camera in the airport so guests will know if their palne was on the tarmac already. Good food, cheap food, cheap drinks, CCTV view, flat screen TVs, piano music, cold place, spacious washroom... Not bad! Not bad at all.

Presidential plane at Legazpi!

I missed my opportunity to audition for 9W because of this trip but I don't see that as a bad thing. I loved the  stay and seeing the majestic Mayon everyday, everywhere in the area! The people were nice and the food was yummy. I was not really ready for the audition and the play anyway so I guess missing out is not bad at all. I got my tan. I got sunburnt actually but it's okay. I got to bond with my family. We were safe. We were happy. It's all fun! Oh, I definitely recommend Misibis Bay!
