๐ŸฅญGuimaras Tour!

From Ong Bun, hanap ka ng jeep na may signage na CPU-Jaro tapos bumaba ka lang sa City Mall or Parola. Sa likod ng city mall, nandun yung bilihan ng ticket papuntang Jordan, Guimaras.

โ›ด๏ธ Ferry from Iloilo to Guimaras (โ‚ฑ25 one way) tapos 15-20 mins ata ang travel time.

Pagdating sa port, magregister sa tourism help desk na nasa may exit lang ng building. Tatanungin ka nila kung may guide ka na. As for me, si Kuya Joel ang kinuha kong guide. Grabe, ang pro sa pagkuha ng pictures at kukwentuhan ka din tungkol sa mga sites na pupuntahan nyo.

๐Ÿ›ต Guimaras Land Tour with Kuya Joel Guileรฑo - โ‚ฑ1500 (tricycle)

Places we Visited:
- Jordan Signange
- Smallest Plaza
- Windmill Farm
- Manmade Forest
- Guimaras Signage
- Mango Plantation viewdeck
- Trappist Monastery
- Guisi Beach and Lighthouse
- Pitstop Restaurant

โฑ๏ธ By 2pm, pabalik na ako ng Iloilo via Ferry (โ‚ฑ25)

Travel tips in Guimaras:

๐Ÿ›ต Kaya ng half day ang Guimaras tour kung bbyahe ka ng maaga. 5:30 AM yung earliest trip papuntang Jordan.

๐Ÿ‘’ Since nakatricycle lang sa tour, magdala ng scarf or hat para hindi masyadong mahaggard ang hair. But donโ€™t worry sobrang fresh ng hangin sa Guimaras!

๐ŸŒณ Sa manmade forest, may nagbebenta ng keychain (โ‚ฑ20) ng Sinukuan Tree (punta ka nalang sa Guimaras para malaman mo kung paano sya nakakaamaze). Kung dun ka bibili, pabless-an mo nalang sa Trappist Monastery.

๐Ÿฅญ Kung gusto mong makapasok sa mango plantation, wag kang pupunta ng weekend sa Guimaras, Mon-Fri lang kasi sila open. Pwede ka din mamili ng mangga pang pasalubong. Kapag mango season, nasa โ‚ฑ50-โ‚ฑ60/kilo.

๐ŸŒŠ Pwede kang maligo sa Guisi Beach, โ‚ฑ40 ang entrance tapos yung shower, โ‚ฑ30.

โ›ต๏ธ Meron ding available na island hopping sa Guimaras, โ‚ฑ900 ang bayad sa boat for the 1st hour tapos +300 per succeeding hour. Sabi ni Kuya Joel, kayang tapusin yung island hopping in 2 hours. Hindi na ako nagavail nito kasi wala naman akong kahati ๐Ÿ˜…

Island hopping destinations:
- Ave Maria
- Fairy Castle
- Isla Naburot
- Lamurawan
- Baras Cave
- Natago Beach Resort

๐Ÿ• Try Pitstopโ€™s Mango Pizza and Ripe Mango Shake! Hindi ako pizza ferson pero nung nag pitsop ako, nakain ko yung kalahati ng Pizza!

Iba talaga yung lasa ng mangga sa Guimaras! Hindi ko maexplain kaya itry mo nalang!

Ito yung gala na hinding hindi ka magugutom at dapat ipagpabukas nalang ang diet ๐Ÿคค

โœˆ๏ธ Entry Point: Bacolod (via Cebu Pacific) - 11:50 AM flight (โ‚ฑ532 MNL-BCD thru Ceb Super Pass)

Kung gusto mong makatipid, pagdating sa airport, may mga van na nasa labas na pwedeng sakyan papunta sa downtown area. Meron din namang option na mag taxi at grab. Magtanong ka lang sa mga driver kung paano pumunta sa accommodation mo. Sa mismong accom na ako hinatid ng van ๐Ÿฅน

๐Ÿ’ฐVan to accommodation: 200

๐Ÿจ Hometown Hotel - Lacson (โ‚ฑ945/night)

One night lang ako nagstay dito kasi wala naman masyadongn tourist destination sa bacolod, unless pupunta ka sa Lakawon at Sipalay.

Rating: 3/5, pwede na kung tulog at ligo lang ang gagawin mo plus budget friendly for a solo traveller.

๐Ÿš— Car Rental - โ‚ฑ1500 for 24 hours

May friend lang ako na nagrecommend na magrent nalang ako ng sasakyan para malibot yung City. Kapag solo kasi, hassle (for me) ang magavail ng tour tapos nakamotor (mainit din kasi nung nagpunta ako sa Bacolod). Pero kung gusto mo ng tour guide, nag ooffer sila ng tour na โ‚ฑ2500.

In fairness sa Bacolod, napakadaming FREE PARKING

After mag check-in sa accom, start na ng road trip:

๐Ÿ— Manokan Country - Aidaโ€™s Chicken (โ‚ฑ175 - inasal, rice, calamansi juice)

Syempre pag narinig mo ang Bacolod, maiisip mo agad yung Inasal! Since hindi pa ako naglulunch, diretso agad ako sa Manokan Country. Based lang din sa recommendations online, nagtry ako sa Aidaโ€™s Chicken at grabe, iba pala talaga yung lasa ng legit na Chicken Inasal ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿซจ Sa mga mahilig sa Chicken oil, unli ang chicken oil nila ๐Ÿซจ

๐Ÿ“Œ Travel Tip: kung pagkain ang ipinunta mo sa Bacolod, wag kang masyadong magpakabusog sa isang stop. Magkakatabi kasi yung mga recommended restaurants kaya baka hindi mo din maenjoy yung mga pagkain kapag busog ka na agad.

โ›ช๏ธ San Sebastian Cathedral and Pope John Paul II Tower (hindi na ako nakapag stop over sa Tower dahil hindi ko makita yung parking ๐Ÿ˜…)

Malapit lang ito sa plaza, makikita mo na din yung Bacolod signage at yung โ€œCity of Smilesโ€

๐Ÿฐ Calea Pastries and Coffee (โ‚ฑ280 for 2 slices of cake and bottled water)

As a city girl, akala ko maliliit lang yung slice nila ng cake kaya dalawa ang inorder ko. Malaki pala yung slice nila ๐Ÿซจ at sobrang sulit dahil hindi sobrang tamis. I ordered: Frozen Mango and Triple Mousse

๐Ÿ•Œ The Ruins (โ‚ฑ150 for entrance fee)

Also known as the Taj Mahal of Negros. May mga tour guide din dito sa The Ruins na ikkwento ang history nito. Hindi ko na natry yung pagkain sa resto nila dahil busog na busog pa din ako ๐Ÿ˜ญ

๐Ÿ“Œ Travel Tip: Magpunta sa The Ruins around 5:00 pm, basta bago magsunset para makita mo yung dalawang version ng The Ruins before and after sunset ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ— Dinner at Taverna Restaurant (โ‚ฑ455 for the meal)

Tried their Chicken Souvlaki with Fried Potato as side dish and Watermelon-Basil. Rating: 3/5 since medyo maalat (for me)

๐Ÿš— Roadtrip after dinner. Passed by megaworld (sabi nung local, next bgc daw to) then back to accom.

โ˜€๏ธ Since wala naman akong tour, late na ako gumising, nagbreakfast lang sa Bobโ€™s Restaurant โ€” ito daw ang tunay na OG sa Bacolod.

๐Ÿณ Bobโ€™s Restaurant (โ‚ฑ440 for tapsilog and ripe mango shake). Nakalimutan kong tanungin ang best seller nila ๐Ÿ˜…

๐Ÿš— Road trip to Silay (dumaan lang talaga ako sa mga โ€˜to kasi sobrang init talaga para bumaba)
- Balay Negrense (closed for maintenance)
- Balay ni Tana Dicang
- Ancestral Houses
- San Diego Pro-Cathedral

Back to accommodation, check out. Since 3pm pa yung tapos ng car rental ko, pumunta muna ako sa SM City Bacolod. As a nonchalant ferson, may nakatabi pala akong PBA player pero di ko din naman kilala, akala ko sakin magpapapicture yung mga lumalapit ๐Ÿ˜… EME!

After kong ibalik yung sasakyan, pumunta na ako sa Brecdo Port para sa fastcraft papuntang Iloilo. Nagbook na ako in advance sa website ng Ocean Jet kasi sabi nila nagkakaubusan daw kapag last trip (4pm)

โ›ด๏ธ Fast Craft (Oceanjet) to Iloilo (โ‚ฑ550 - ticket, if online booking +55 na booking fee)

Funny Story:
Habang naghihintay ako ng boarding sa fast craft, tumulog muna ako kasi pagoda ang ferson sa road trip. Buti nalang talaga last trip yung binili kong ticket kasi ginising na ako nung nasa boarding gate dahil ako nalang yung pasahero na nandoon ๐Ÿ˜ญ Sa sobrang pagod ko, hindi na ako nagising sa announcement nila hahaha (wag na wag tutularan ๐Ÿ˜…)

๐Ÿ›ต Upon arrival sa Iloilo port, sumakay ako ng tricycle papuntang accommodation (โ‚ฑ150)

๐Ÿ  Accommodation: Ong Bun Pension House (โ‚ฑ685 per night)

Nung nagmessage ako sa FB Page nila, ang inoffer nila sakin na room ay โ‚ฑ750/night. Buti nalang na upon check-in, inoffer nila yung mas mura na aircon room with private bathroom. Tipid hack!

Halos lahat ng local, alam kung saan ang Ong Bun kaya hindi ka maliligaw. Marami na ding malapit na establishment kaya kung may kailangan ka pang bilihin, hindi ka na mahihirapan.

Since 6pm na ako nakacheck-in, nagdinner nalang ako malapit sa accom tapos tulugan na!

Overall travel tips:
๐Ÿ“Œ Sobraaaang daming pagkain sa Bacolod. Yung mga napuntahan ko, wala pa sa kalahati ng mga recommendations from friends and travellers alike.

๐Ÿ“Œ If foodie ka, sobrang maeenjoy mo ang bacolod pero kung adrenaline ju**ie ka (like me), ito na yung pinakachill na magiging trip mo.

๐Ÿ“Œ Kung may time ka pa, try visiting Sipalay. Halos lahat ng locals na nakausap ko, ito yung nirerecommend pero allot 3 days para maexplore mo at hindi ka pagod sa byahe (approx 4 hours from the city). Try contacting Kuya Joerille (sayang hindi ako natuloy)

๐Ÿ“Œ kung antukin ka, last trip yung kunin mong ferry para kung makatulog ka man sa may boarding gate, makakahabol ka pa din sa pag alis ng ferry! Jk! Hahaha
