SURIGAO DEL SUR… Lunch at C-Fish Cage and Sand Bars Resort
Upon hearing the word Fish Cage, I am thinking of a typical fish pens and on top of it are small cottages to accommodate guests. I also wonder how deep the water is to have a floating fish cage. Until I try to browse the Internet on that so-called Fish Cage and Sand Bars.

Now... continue

Diura village is a small fishing village of Batanes. Along the way, we passed another scenic route with the beach on the left and the hills on the right. The houses in the village were mixed... continue
