4-6 of April 2011, me and my batchmates took our trip to this spectacular island which is higatangan. It's my 2nd time to be there and i did not regret it, hence it given me an unforgettable memories that i will treasure for a lifetime.
We stayed in our classmates house and she is the one who invited us to be there, since she would be having her blowout. Our stay there was amazing for the reason that they given us a warm of welcome.
During our first day, we only went to shifting sand bar for picture taking and swimming. That time, the shifting sand bar was deformed since it is only depending on the current of the waves and the wind. We took our swimming there and enjoyed our selves, also the weather is very fine and conducive to tour around the island.
The second day, we went to the other side of the island where you could fined its magnificent rock formation, also it's my first time to be there.
The place is very beautiful and fabulous. It was a challenge for me since we walked beside the rock formation, also the rocks is very sharp. It took hours before we finished our hiked through the rocks and it was not easy since your not only walking beside the rocks but also to climbed and to swim. It was very a memorable adventure ever i experienced and i will treasure it for a lifetime.
