It was about 2 weeks ago. Was supposed to blog about my trip after I got home but I got caught up with work and other stuff.
So I had another adventure about 2 weeks ago in Dumaguete and Siquijor. It was a very good way to relax and to get out from my busy schedule at work.
From Bacolod. I took the 1am trip to Dumaguete.
It was a good 6 hour bus ride.
TIP: always sit in front or at the middle. The back portion of the bus is like a roller coaster ride. Seriously!
Arrived in dumaguete around 6am. And went to my hotel hoping for an early check in. But of course. Check in was not until around noon. So I had to start ny early adventure as planned.
Looking like a typical backpacker. I went to the famous boulevard and started to find some place to eat for breakfast.
Walked around the city for an hour and had my breakfast at Sans Rival Bistro. 
Went to Siquijor the morning after around 7am trip.
It was about an hour ferry ride at 170php.
Went to see some tourists spots after checking in and the Siquijor is amazing! It was very laid back. People are nice too.
Breakfast was around 150-200php. It wasnt that good. But having breakfast overlooking the port and the boulevard is priceless.
Also went to Siliman University right after and just stayed there for a while. Read some building facts and all.
Also went to the nearby sort of zoo. Didn't enjoyed it. Lol. Im not really into exotic animals. But it was worth it.
Stayed at a coffee shop nearby for about 2 hours until i can finally check in at the hotel.
Forgot the name. Scooby's something.
Had some dinner with some friends that night and went diving the following day in Apo Island. It was amazing.
Thanks to Harold's Dive shop and Harold's Mansion for arranging everything for me.
Paid 1,000 for an 8 hour journey which includes light breakfast. Lunch and 3 dive spots in Apo Reef, Apo Island. Went snorkling to 2 dive spots but had to give up the 3rd one and slept at the boat instead.
Had a very good dinner at Gabby's Bistro that night and went to the spa right after.
Food was very delicious! It was heaven on earth! The prices were cheap too. The place was very cozy.
The port was hell. It was very chaotic! Good thing i found a guard that did let me in even without a terminal fee since my ferry was about to leave and again, i look like a typical tourist--- LOST.
Stayed at Coco Grove Resort in Siquijor. The best resort in the island. The place was amazing!
It was a typical province where overated things are not seen.
Over all the experience was amazing! Would surely do this again.
