It was a nice, short, crowded boat ride. Luckily we were the last ones on and got to ride on the front where we had great views of Guimaras as we came to it.
As soon as we got off the boat we were surrounded by people asking if they could take us to our resort. Luckily we had arranged ahead of time to have someone take us. It is always a little overwhelming to have 20 people in your face talking to you and then have to choose one of them. In just a few minutes we were on our way to the resort.
After an hour or so ride in the microcab we had to catch another smaller pump boat to the resort because it is only accessible by water.
After arriving at Baras Beach Resort we had our welcome drink -coconut juice straight from the coconut. Our hut itself was just a basic one room place with a bathroom and cold shower but the view from our hut was fantastic! When you sit on the porch all you can see are islands and water.
We didn't waste any time getting into the water. I normally don't go swimming at the beach. I like to play in the sand and relax but I don't like getting in the water higher than my knees. Here the water was the perfect temperature and very shallow until you got far away from the beach. It was also in a little cove so we didn't get many waves. The kids were able to play and have fun without us worrying too much about them getting too deep or taken under.
After our long day of traveling and swimming it was nice to sleep in our mosquito net covered beds.

Wow! What a cool adventure! Jonas and Liam will remember these trips for the rest of their lives. That resort looks like a little piece of heaven.
So glad you guys were safe during the flood!
These are awesome! I wanna go. I love the picture of Jonas in the canoe thingy, and I love the picture of the boat you all rode on where you can see Nate's white head, and a bunch of Filipino people on the boat. I bet ya'll stick out like tourists or somethin...haha.
