What is the secret to traveling long term? how do I travel so often? Am I rich? Do I have a depend on fund? Are all my trips paid for by someone else?

What is my secret sauce?

On my first trip to Thailand, I met five backpackers who changed my life. I had a vague sense of what a “backpacker” was from popular culture. They were people who barely showered, stayed in cramped hostels, ate pasta, and partied a lot. It was a something for college kids or those without a real future to do.

Yet meeting them convinced me they had unlocked the secret to travel I didn’t know existed.

I grew up with hotels, tours, and theme parks. The a lot more they told me about their lifestyle – meeting people around the world, living in bungalows on the beach, eating delicious and cheap food, taking local transportation, and just having fun, the a lot more envious I become.

They weren’t tied down to an office job or rules. They were living life while I was just on a momentary break from prison.

Before I met them, I assumed you needed to be rich to travel. but here were people that were living proof that everything I knew about travel was wrong.

While money does help, they simply had found something I didn’t:

ØNSKE.

While I wanted to travel, their desire was strong enough to make it happen.

They just did it.

That is how to travel.

You just do it.

After my first trip to Costa Rica in 2004, I was bitten by the travel bug and have been traveling ever since.

Following my encounter with them, I came home and made my trip happen. My made my life about travel. I cut my expenses, found cheap flights, and did everything I could to pursue my goal of travel.

Traveling is what’s crucial to me, so I find a way to make it happen.

I skip the Starbucks, don’t shop that often, and don’t eat out a lot. I cut corners elsewhere so I can have the time and money to do what I love: travel.

I fake plan dozens of trips every day. If I have unplanned time in my calendar, I think “hmmm, where can I go that week? Let’s figure out how to get there.”

I often hear from people that traveling is out of their reach, that they don’t have the money or the time. They have just too much responsibility. While there are certain constraints on traveling that time and money create (as well as privilege), people do what they want. When you genuinely want something, you go after it.

If you genuinely wanted to travel, you would. You wouldn’t make excuses; you would just find a way.

Excuses are simply a convenient way for people to neglect their own fears.

I travel so often for the same reason my friend always seems to be at a Patriots game, or my other friend has a new pair of shoes, and another always seems to be hiking. That’s what we love and we actively work to realize those goals. Do you want to get that new iPhone? You’ll make it happen.

We always want to make our desires come true.

I choose to work towards making my travel desire a reality.

If you want to know how to travel, you just need to have the desire to just do it!

There are a lot of unknowns in long-term travel. A lot of people aren’t ready to deal with that. However, even if you’ll never spend a year traveling around the world or dedicate your life to vagabonding, that doesn’t indicate travel will be out of your reach.

Travel is a terrific thing. Life is short and I don’t think we were ever indicated to spend it droning away in cubicles. travel can show you all the appeal in the world — from chaotic markets in Southeast Asia and majestic cities in Europe to dense jungles and exotic wildlife in central America.

Everywhere you go, every day something new happens. new people, new places, and new experiences.

People like to think that travel costs a lot of money or that you just can’t make it happen. My only hope is that by reading this blog, you realize that you can. I’m not rich, but I budget well and I find good travel deals. I work hard so that I can play hard.

With a little flexibility and a little price scouting, you can get anywhere on any budget. people are always surprised when they see how cheap it can be and how little effort it really takes.

Once you have the desire and motivation to go, nothing can stop you.

Find a cheap flight

I should’ve listened when they said, “Go the extra mile.”

The last time I was in Negros Occidental, I burned many of my time in Bacolod and went as far south as the municipality of Cauayan. I was a travel newbie then and was only interested in the apparent and popular. At the time, I had heard of Sipalay City. Locals kept discussing it, urging us to make time for it. “You’re already in Cauayan, you might as well check out Sipalay.” but because it didn’t sound any proverbial bell, I swept it under the rug, where I keep anything I find outside of my comfort zone.

It’s been six years because that trip. Sipalay City, the jewel that sparks a lot of pride in the heart of the locals, stays an obscure dot on the tourism map of the Philippines. I still felt like I knew nothing about it. So when the soles of my feet touched Negros Island once again, I knew I was in for a surprise. It was time to finally go that extra mile. and that extra mile was so extra! Sipalay is phenomenal.

Understanding Sipalay City

Sipalay City is one of the twelve component cities in Negros Occidental. but before you conjure up images of skyscrapers, know that it is far from being highly urbanized. In numerous ways, it still feels much more like a small town than an urban center. The atmosphere stays pretty laid-back and rustic, with the city center composed of just a few blocks lined by typically empty streets. Don’t expect fast food stores, malls, or supermarkets.

Sipalay’s economy was fueled mostly by sugar and mines, but it is slowly shifting to one that is driven by tourism. budget and upscale resorts are sprouting in every nook and cranny of its splendidly crumpled landscape. lots of small rainforest-carpeted hills guard its coast, hiding a stretch of white and golden sand in between. visitors are here for the beaches, and in Sipalay, there is no running out of them.

Here are some much more facts you might want to know:

Language: Hiligaynon (Ilonggo). English is widely understood.

Currency: Philippine peso (PhP). PhP100 = USD2, EUR 1.65, KRW 22000, JPY218

Mode of payment: Cash. We found one ATM (Landbank). If you’re coming from Bacolod and you need to withdraw, do so in Bacolod. A few resorts accept credit report card, but cash is still preferred.

Electricity: The conventional voltage is 220V. conventional socket is type A (two pins).

When to check out Sipalay

Weather-wise, the best time to check out is between December to May, with February to April being the most ideal.

However, keep in mind that December and the March-May periods are also top seasons so expect the crowd to balloon. June is the start of the rainy season. Thankfully, Sipalay is out of the typical typhoon path and it is rarely gets direct hits.

How to get to Sipalay

The Bacolod-Silay airport is the gateway to Negros Occidental, which Sipalay is part of. From Bacolod, the capital, it’s just 5-6 hours away. However, Dumaguete airport in twin province Negros Oriental is actually a tad closer. The difference isn’t much though, so you can just pick whichever is less expensive or better suited to your itinerary.

From Bacolod Airport

At the airport, you may take a shuttle/van (P150) but it will terminate at SM City Bacolod. If you’re not traveling alone or carrying heavy baggage, the most practical way is to just take a taxi or GrabTaxi directly to South Ceres Bus terminal and split the cost. Fare: around P250 (if meter is used).

At the South Ceres Bus Terminal, hop into the bus going to Hinoba-an or Sipalay. There’s one practically every hour. travel time: 5 hours. Fare: P209 (non-aircon bus), P253 (aircon bus).

Tell the chauffeur to drop you off in Sipalay (if you take the Hinoba-an bus).

From Sipalay bus station, take a tricycle to your hotel or resort. If your hotel is in the city center, you can go on foot. If it’s on a beach outside the city, take a tricycle. Fare: P150 per person.

From Dumaguete Airport

From the airport, take a tricycle to Dumaguete Ceres Terminal. Fare: P100-P300, depending upon your nego skills. You may also get out of the airport vicinity and ride a multicab to the city center.

At Dumaguete Ceres Terminal, boaRd bussen går til Sipalay. Far: omkring P290. Hvis der ikke er nogen direkte busser til Sipalay, kan du tage en bus til Hinoba-An og overføre til en anden bus til Sipalay. Uanset hvad vil rejsen tage 4-5 timer.

Fra Sipalay Bus Station skal du tage en trehjuling til dit hotel eller resort. Hvis dit hotel er i byens centrum, kan du gå til fods. Hvis det er på en strand uden for byen, skal du tage en trehjuling. Far: P150 pr. Person.

Hvor skal man bo i Sipalay City

Der er tre hovedområder, hvor du kan bo, hver med deres fordele og ulemper.

Sipalays sydkyst

Sipalay centrum. den mest praktiske mulighed. Lavprisindlognings- og spisemuligheder kan findes her. Som centrum for handel og transport af byen er det meget sandsynligt, at du finder dig selv i dette område alligevel, selvom du vælger at blive et andet sted. Cellulær modtagelse (signal) er godt her.

Sydkyst. Strandene syd for byens centrum har flere resorts, hvoraf mange er lidt fornemme. Denne hårde strækning skjuler Tinagong Dagat, Punta Ballo og endda Perth Beach Resort i sine hjørner. Hvis du vil have lidt ro i sindet, og du planlægger at bo på byen mange af tiden, kan dette være et godt valg. Ved dog, at adskillige af disse resorts er lidt på den dyre side. Det er også langt fra byens centrum med bit transpo -indstillinger, medmindre du beder udvej til charter en trehjuling til dig. Resorts er typisk gemt langt fra hovedvejen. Det taggete terræn gør også at komme til dit værelse til en test af udholdenhed. Nogle resorts er overhovedet ikke seniorvenlige. For eksempel, i tilfælde af Easy Diving Resort og Perth Paradise Resort, er rummet og faciliteterne forbundet med stejle trapper. Cellulær modtagelse her er i bedste fald plettet, og dataforbindelse findes ikke i nogle områder. Men nogle resorts som Easy Diving tilbyder deres egen mobile internetenhed til deres gæster gratis.

Sukkerstrand. Sipalays mange populære strand. Dette er et fantastisk valg, hvis du er på et budget, men du vil bo et sted strandpromenade. Masser af billige resorts og restauranter frynser pulverstrimlen. Overkommelig i forhold til dem i syd. Ulempen, det er temmelig afsondret, så hvis du også vil udforske de sydlige strande, vil det kræve en båd og trehjulede overførsler. Resorts her inkluderer Taka Tuka, Driftwood Village og Sulu Sunset Resort.

Af de tre anbefaler vi at bo i byens centrum, hvis du planlægger at se mest af Sipalay. Bare tjek Sugar Beach og de andre bugter på en dagstur. Dette sparer dig tid, kræfter og penge. Hvis du også planlægger at tage til Danjugan Island i den nærliggende kommune Cauayan, er byens centrum den ideelle base.

Bedste hoteller og resorts i Sipalay City

Her er de bedst bedømte egenskaber i Sipalay, som scoret af Traveloka-brugere. Vi valgte et hjem i syd, en i Sugar Beach og to ejendomme i byens centrum.

Jamont Hotel (Sipalay centrum)

Jamont Hotel er din bedste indsats i byens centrum, hvilket indebærer, at transport ikke vil være et problem. Dette er det bedst bedømte Sipalay -hjem i Poblacion.

Kontroller priser og tilgængelighed
.

Sipalay Jewel Guest House (City Center)

Hvis du ikke er Maselan, og du er i orden med bare de bare grundlæggende, kan Sipalay Jewel Guest House have en seng til dig. Bemærk dog, at soveværelserne ikke er aircondition og badeværelser deles. Det er dog lavpriser, med senge et eller andet sted mellem P200 og P400.

Kontroller priser og tilgængelighed
.

Nem dykning og strandby (Syd, Punta Ballo)

Hvis Traveloka og TripAdvisor -evalueringer skal stole på, er dette den bedste udvej i Sipalay. Det er lidt på den dyre ende af spektret, ved P2000 pr. Nat, da vi boede her (med morgenmad). Men mellemrummet er godt vedligeholdt, og restauranten serverer god mad. Men igen er det placeret ikke tæt på byens centrum. Og det ligger også på en bjergskråning, så forbered dig på at få din levetidsdosis trapper. Men hvis du ikke har noget imod den daglige træning, og du er her for fred og ro eller for at lære dykning, er dette ideelt for dig.

Kontroller priser og tilgængelighed

Sugar Beach House

.

Driftwood Village (Sugar Beach)

En anden billig mulighed (men er ikke på Traveloka -notering) er Driftwood Village. Det er ekstremt populært blandt backpackere for sine lave priser og fantastiske atmosfære. Her er deres satser:

Værelser m/ privat toilettet (fra november 2017)

God til 2 PAX: P900-1200

God til 4 PAX: P1500

God til 6 PAX: P1800-2000

Ekstra person: 300 pr. Hoved

Rum i indfødte stil (kun fan, delt badeværelse)

God til 2 PAX: P450-650

Soveseng: P250 pr. Person

Steder at tjekke ud i Sipalay

Gaderne, der omfatter byens centrum, er brolagt, så det er behageligt at komme rundt i Poblacion -området eller gå til ethvert punkt langs motorvejen. Men det er en anden historie, der kommer til strandene, som kan fås adgang til gennem smalle, ru snavsveje. Forvent en ujævn tur.

Til ikke-dykrs, the beaches and coves are the highlight of any stay in Sipalay. Thankfully, many of them can be went to in one day, if you decide not to stay long. You can hop from one attraction to another in two ways:

By tricycle. The tricycle is the main mode of transportation in the city. but they are not as common as you might think. In areas outside poblacion, it’s rarely to find a passing tricycle. You will have to ask a hotel or resort staff to charter one for you. From the city center to anywhere outside, prepare P150-P200 per person. Sometimes, the chauffeur agrees to P250-P350 per 2 pax. Hence, it’s best to hire a tricycle for an entire day. A whole-day Tricycle trip of the city costs P1500 (max. 4 pax).

Med båd. From Poblacion Beach, you can charter a boat to take you to the same areas as the tricycle tour. cost is the same: P1500. I’m pretty sure many resorts offer island hopping trips too, but they might cost a bit more.

Whatever you take, you will be able to check out the following destinations:

Tinagong Dagat

This is a small, private cove peppered with rocky islets, with some linked by wooden bridges. The area is handled by a resort that is easily available from the main road. cross the long bridge and skirt around the islet on the far end and you’ll find the base of a concrete staircase (of around 100 steps). Climb to the park atop to get a fantastic view of the surrounding paradise.

Entrance fee: P30

Perth Paradise Resort

This is where you’ll find this swimming pool with that renowned view. The resort occupies an isolated hillside, with the pool crowning one. To get to the pool, you will have to climb another staired path. We actually spent one night here (P2500), but you can also check out on a day tour. Actually, I recommend this only for a short visit. There’s not much to do. It’s instagrammable and the view is glorious, but that’s just about it.

Entrance Fee: P80 for adults, P50 for kids.
Pool use: P100 per person

Punta Ballo

Another stretch of golden sand. This is where much more upscale resorts, such as easy Diving, Robinson Cruse beach Resort, and artistic Dive Center, are located.

Sugar Beach

Sipalays mange populære strand. It’s a long strip of, uhm, sugary sand cut in half by a stream estuary. Sugar beach many typically refers to the half north of the river, cloistered from the rest of Sipalay. directions to this beach can be quite overwhelming at first.

If you’re on a boat tour, no problem; you will be taken directly to the beach.

If you’re on a tricycle tour, the tricycle is going to take you to the jump-off point near the mouth of the stream (far from the highway). From here, you will have to ride a boat to the other side of the stream (Boat fare: P50) then walk to the resort area. You can also charter a boat to take you directly to the resort area (Fare: P300).

Poblacion Beach

The beach fronting Sipalay City Center. Make sure you end your trip here for two reasons. First, it faces west, making it a wonderful spot to view the sunset. We did it on two consecutive nights and it was stunning both times. Such a unwinding sight!

Second, running parallel this beach is Sipalay Food Park, which is composed of several inasal and barbeque places and small food kiosks. have your dinner here!

Other things to perform in Sipalay City

Visit Danjugan Island. It’s a marvelous piece of paradise in Cauayan, the town next to Sipalay. The island has five lagoons, in two of which you can kayak. and you can snorkel to see its dynamic marine life including huge clams and enormous corals. It’s not to be missed in this part of Negros Occidental. Day trips from P1950 (including food and boat transfers). much more info here: Danjugan Island

Dykke. Sipalay is a fantastic diving destination. many beachfront properties south of the city center are also dive resorts, including easy Diving and artistic Dive Center. If you don’t know how yet, they offer beginner courses.

Sample Sipalay schedule & budget Breakdown

Below are two sample Sipalay itineraries. This schedule assumes you�

White water rafting was something I had always wanted to experience. In our recent Camiguin trip, we tried to spend one day in Cagayan de Oro (since the airport was there) but, unfortunately, we couldn’t find a way to squeeze it in our itinerary so we just let it go and planned to come back to CDO in the future.

When the poor Traveler found out that white water rafting was part of our Highland adventure in Davao, I was surprised, pleasantly surprised. I didn’t know rafting was one of the activities the city of Davao had to offer. but we had to wait until the second day for this activity.

The day before, everyone in the group expressed their excitement to finally do this. all of us were rafting virgins (LOL). None of us had tried white water rafting before and none had a clue on what to expect.

On our second day, everyone was up as early as 6am. We had buffet breakfast at Microtel (part of the package) and then prepared our things. At 7:30am, we were all in the van ready to depart for Davao Crocodile Park where the office of Davao Wild Water adventure is located.

When we arrived, the first thing we did was sign the waivers. Although it’s not really dangerous because you will be fully equipped, there’s always that risk. (There’s always that risk whatever we do, lol.)

After that, the gearing up began! This is the time to look for and try on the helmets and vests. It is important that they fit perfectly because your life will depend on it. one of my pals actually slammed his head on a boulder accidentally while riding the rapids but he didn’t get hurt because of the helmet.

Evanjohnn’s waiver (Photoblogger, FocalGlass.com)
Find the vest that best fits you.
Important reminder: Bring a cap because the helmets have that weird, unpleasant smell. So if you don’t want that smell to stick to your hair, bring a cap.

Once the fitting was over, the orientation started. They showed thrilling videos — rafts capsizing, tourists bouncing off of the raft into the water, and more. It was scary at first look but in reality, you’d actually want to jump off to the water and just let yourself be drifted along by the waves. I’ll explain later.

After the orientation, we climbed into the jeepney that would take us to Davao River. I wasn’t able to estimate how long the travel time was because I was asleep during the drive. Hahaha. When we arrived in the drop off area, there was another orientation. This time, it was more specific and detailed and you would really want to listen. This was the point when we were told to wear the life vests and helmets and taught some basic rafting and drifting skills.

The jeepney that took us to Davao River.
Orientation!!!
Second briefing! photo by boom Boncan.
Ready for the drill! photo by boom Boncan.
Note: buddy system is implemented so you will need to find a partner that will be with you throughout the course.

We were then divided into smaller groups on a per raft basis. The usual number of tourists per raft is 4-6 but on our raft, we were only four. Hej hej. Each group was led by a “captain,” who would give orders whether to paddle backwards or forwards, slower or harder.

And then, the drill. before facing the rapids, you will be taught how to paddle, what to do when you get thrown off of the raft, how to pick up someone who gets thrown off of the raft and more. and then it begins.

The water was brown because it rained the night before.

You will find one guy kayaking all around. He’s called the “spotter.” Make sure you smile when you see him because he takes pics and videos most of the time. He also helps pick up people who falls out of the raft.

Many rapids await those who dare but it was really thrilling and enjoyable. Surprisingly, you’ll find yourself longing for more. and many times, your guide will encourage you to get off the boat into the water and be drifted by the current. Although it sounds scary, it was actually GREAAAAT!

The drill begins! photo by boom Boncan.
Så er spillet i gang!
A bridge over Davao River. photo by boom Boncan.
Halfway, all rafts will dock at a sandy part of the riverbanks and distribute lunch boxes. Ours were rice, chicken adobo, fish fillet and egg. They will also provide water and orange juice.

After lunch, you will encounter the more challenging rapids. In fact, one raft from our group capsized. It looked fun. LOL. We tried several times to get ours capsized but it didn’t work. However, two members of our group fell out of the raft and were picked up by the raft following us. No, I’m not one of them. LOL. My feet were hooked well onto the raft.

The entire course lasted for 3-4 hours. The funny thing was, during the activity I didn’t feel tired. It wasn’t until we got back at the hotel when we realized we had lost all our energy and our arms, well, we couldn’t feel our arms. Hahaha.

Some tips You might want to Consider

The Photoblogger of FocalGlass.com was one of the bloggers with us on this tour. PåHans blogindlæg om denne oplevelse, han delte nogle virkelig nyttige tip. her er de:

Medbring ikke for mange ting. De kan blive “doneret” til Davao -floden

Bær rem på sandaler eller sko til våde lejligheder, hjemmesko kan gå tabt i processen (eller du kan få dem spændt til båden)

Gider ikke at bruge mobilt internet eller txting, der er ikke noget signal. Live streaming eller tweeting #hulinghabilin #lastwill #deathwish er meningsløse

Bær lange ærmer og hat (eller sunblock). Flåder kommer ikke med tag

Lær at svømme, det hjælper, når du er i en stærk strøm

Følg instruktionerne- Dette kan bestemme dine chancer i en livs- og dødssituation, prøv ikke at være en “helt”

Når svømning prøver at bruge sommerfuglslag. Freestyle og brystslaget er langsomme eller næsten ineffektive.

Lær at trække vejret ordentligt, inkonsekvent panikfuld vejrtrækning vil drukne dig

Udmattende, ja, men det hele var det værd! Tro dog ikke bare mig. Prøv det selv.

I photo my addiction satisfying to go something like this:

“Hello, my name is Matt as well as it’s been 50 days considering that I last traveled somewhere. everyday gets a bit harder than the last. I’ve nearly booked a flight three times this week. I believe next time I’ll hit the purchase button. It’s getting as well hard. I don’t understand if I can make it.”

Around me, the other travel addicts in the space nod knowingly. They feel my pain. as well as then, at the mention of affordable flights, they all take out their iphone as well as inspect costs to their preferred destination. They nearly hit get too. all of us sigh. We former nomads aren’t going anywhere, at least not ideal now.

I’ve been back in the specifies for seven weeks now. during that time, I’ve been satisfying my dream of costs a summertime in new York City. It’s not permanent. In September, I leave for Boston as well as then to Canada, where my nomadic life begins anew.

In a sense, I assumption I’m still nomadic. If a nomad is one without long-term roots, then I am still a nomad. new York is only my momentary oasis, the location where I restock supplies for my next journey.

Yet every morning, I get up in my sublet apartment, cook breakfast in my kitchen, as well as then take a shower in a shower room not showed other strangers. My fridge is stocked with food. I belong to a gym. I am taking French classes (and utilizing Benny’s language guide too!). I have a routine. I’m a routine at the café down the street. I’m settled. I feel settled. as well as that unsettles me.

I’m having a excellent time in new York City. It’s been amazing. It’s been productive. It’s been a dream. I’ve made new good friends as well as reconnected with old ones.

Yet I’m not utilized to being in one location for so long.

Going from being always on the step to staying put has been a harder modification than I thought. True, I’ve found something new everyday right here in the city. new York has a great deal to see as well as do. My days are full. however when you are utilized to altering places every few days or weeks, unexpectedly putting the brakes on can send you with the proverbial windshield.

I don’t understand what it’s like to be still. For me, moving is living. The longer I’m here, the worse my itchy feet get. My feet….my soul…desires movement. I like the excitement of the road. What everybody hates about travel, I love. I like airports as well as discovering my way, hotels, buses, as well as packing as well as unpacking. In a way, I’m getting bored. Not tired of new York however tired of being in one place. I keep in mind when I very first came back from my trip in 2008. I was prepared to leave within weeks. Life in one location felt stagnant.

New York is never stagnant.

But I miss the act of travel.

When you are always on the move, you get utilized to it. It becomes comforting. Your lifestyle. I’m at simplicity in hostels. I like making my method with the airport. That life is what I know. Now, I feel out of my element. I believe about exactly how I’m still in one place. I dream of moving from location to place. I believe of exactly how I can get my travel fix. What if I just fly to Bermuda for a few days? It’s not that far. JetBlue has affordable flights.

Coming house needs a great deal of adjustment. altering your way of life even more. That’s what seven weeks feels to me: a way of life adjustment. now I’m sitting in my apartment, waiting on my dinner to finish, as well as I begin to question if I ever do clear up down – if I ever do ended up being only semi-nomadic – exactly how will I cope then?

If being in one location for seven weeks is difficult, what about moving somewhere?

If I balk at the concept of a sublet, what about when it’s my name on the lease?

But in these thoughts, I recognize I’m refrained from doing with the road yet.

Or, maybe, it’s the road that is refrained from doing with me.

The clock ticks down as well as I can’t wait on when I’m back on the road in a few weeks.

The towering gray karst cliffs surrounding me went ignored as I stood in the middle of a pocket of white beach on one edge of Matinloc Island. I was at the so called “Secret Beach,” the location that, according to legend, influenced author Alex Garland to compose his book The beach when he stayed in El Nido.

The trick beach is a piece of paradise concealed by the cliffs as well as is only available with a narrow crevice. One has to swim with this opening to reach this place, shining even under the shade produced when the sun kisses the cliffs. I wished to take everything in when I was there. It was beyond gorgeous certainly however all I might believe about was: “I ought to have brought a water-proof camera.”

Cliffs, cliffs, cliffs…

Finding the Secret

Fifteen minutes earlier, the bad Traveler as well as his six bad buddies were feeling a bit bit sleepy after our big, satisfying lunch at Talisay beach. Our boat was smoothly breaking the waves towards one more white beach as well as the noise of the engine roaring as well as the waves slapping the side of the boat were producing a melody that was relaxing, hypnotic, practically sedating.

Another boat waiting on tourists who were at the trick Beach!
As if the previous islands as well as beaches we saw were not enough, the boat trip introduced us to much more examples of charm as well as question as the cliffs displayed all kind of gray as well as the water danced, playing with all the colors in the blue to eco-friendly spectrum. I was content. combating the drowsiness with all my might, I chosen up my video camera as well as took pictures of the welcoming rocks.

Our boat stopped best where other boats seemed to have been lingering the past hour. Our boatman announced, “Secret Beach!”

“Hvor?” asked the curious friend. “Where’s the beach? It’s all water as well as cliffs here.”

“That’s why it’s called trick Beach! It’s concealed,” responded to the sarcastic friend.

“Well, if we’re going there. It won’t be trick anymore,” joked one more sarcastic friend.

“So where do we go?” asked the impatient friend.

“There,” the boatman directed in a hole in one of the cliffs.

Hole in the wall! The one as well as only entrance to the trick Beach.
“You have got to be kidding me!” exclaimed my cowardly friend. “So we will have to swim down as well as with that hole? Jeg er død!”

“Will I even sink?” wondered my not-so-skinny friend.

While my buddies were speaking excitedly about the piece of heaven behind the cliff in front of us, I was just there believing regretfully, “I ought to have brought a water-proof camera.” bad me.

Into the Secret

Armed with goggles, flippers, a snorkel, as well as a life vest, we jumped off of the boat, swam to that karst cliff, as well as made it with the hole. The very first to go was my buddy Ces. I was second. It was a breeze for me, which was a surprise. I just swam directly with it. You have to be cautious when you do it, though, since I might picture exactly how unpleasant it would be if I stopped swimming best under the arc or if my back hit the “ceiling.” That might scrape a swimmer’s back quite badly.

The challenging part for me was AFTER I got with the opening. While I was swimming, it all of a sudden got shallow. A big, huge rock awaits best after the opening as well as the waves are so strong at this point that they might push the swimmer best onto that rock. It was truly challenging trying to fight the waves.

Once I regained my composure, I made my method across the shallow water to the white shore. All the while, my deal with was buried in the water as I get blown away by what was underneath. It was a fantastic snorkeling place. There were all kind of vibrant fishes as well as other marine life forms, enjoying the water as well as the areas in between rocks as well as corals.

The trick Beach

When I hit the beach, I instantly stood up as well as saw my buddy Ces, the very first to leave the boat, standing with a concerned look on her deal with as well as a bloody wound on her best leg. Apparently, she hit the rock near the opening (the one I discussed before) as well as it scraped her knee quite badly. Regardless, she continued to check out the location with us. What a warrior!

The trick beach is not just a white strip of sand. There are rocks beautifully dotting the area, as if intentionally. Behind these huge rocks is much more space. The location was like a round space surrounded by naturally difficult walls as well as eco-friendly ornaments. one of the very first things that went into my head was: exactly how good it would be to have a personal beach celebration here! as well as then I believed about Survivor as well as exactly how it would offer a great location for the Tribal Council.

For a moment, I sat on the beach as well as enabled myself to get drowned in fantasy as well as inspiration. I started believing about stories as well as ideas for films as well as short fiction. I started wondering exactly how it would feel like to spend a few days right here — just here. I would gladly do that as long as I have adequate food as well as water. I wondered exactly how this location was discovered, or who. So numerous things ran with my head as I looked up as well as stared at the cliffs blocking the light. as well as then it dawned on me once again —- I ought to have brought a water-proof camera.

For pokker.
