It started as a sunny sunny sunny beautiful day. Friends and I had planned this trip since last week. After hearing so much about this beautiful islet (its such a small island!) beyond Samal Island in the Islands of Mindanao, Philippines, I finally had a chance to see it’s wonder. (duh! over-hyping are you?)
I passed by the market en route to Sta Ana Wharf. My assignment was to bring Tilapia and mangoes. Other friends were assigned to bring other things and food. Then I was off to NCX-Ateneo to see RK. She was there well before I arrived, thanks to the very very active driver (read: picks up everyone we pass by!). Then we headed to the wharf. Dhes and Peter just arrived, we waited for cherry for a short while.
Boat ride was ahh! hahaha.. one hour from Davao City! Imagine! Thank God for the perfect weather. When we arrived there, the trip was so worth it! Perfect white sand… clear and oh so blue water! hmmm.. perfect for swimming. Remind me to buy a new set of snorkels the next time I will go there!
Food was sumptuous. We had grilled pork chops and tilapia. It was fun grilling with a cute guy who also were with his group! If only I was more up to flirting! hahaha!
Anyway, we had the best time taking pictures and swimming. I will post some photos after I edited (read: reduced the sizes) it.
Final verdict: Isla Reta is so fun. I will definitely go back there. Maybe try overnight.
Cost: Php 100 boat ride (to and from), Php5o day tour. some other food, maybe another Php100.
Memories: Priceless!
