Hundred Islands, Alaminos

We arrived at Alaminos at around 9:30 am. It was raining so some of us were hesitant to continue with the planned island hopping. We chose to have lunch at Maxine by the sea first before we decide if we will push through with the plan.

While they discuss the pros and cons of going in spite of the rain, my mind was flying, thinking of my brother’s draft of their wedding invitations that he emailed me. I can’t remember if I have replied with my comments.

Guess what? The rain suddenly stopped and the sun shone. Amazing, isn’t it?

At noon, we decided to go. First stop was the Governor’s island. Unfortunately for me, since I am pregnant, I stayed at the foot of the island and just took some pictures. So yes, I don’t have any of those usual photos of the island looking down at the sea. We stayed there for approximately 30 minutes.

Next stop was actually in the middle of the water for guests to snorkel. There was a ramp where our boat was anchored, and they were given life vests and snorkels (rented). This lasted for about 30 minutes too.

Our third stop is my favorite. It was the Marcos island. This was where my daughter played and built sand castles. I also stayed in the sand to cool off. We stayed here for an hour.

We were asked if we still want to stop over this or that island twice, but we declined. But we agreed to stop by the children’s island. We didn’t enjoy it much and I was too tired to even take photos. We got back at around 4pm. I’d say that was 4 hours well spent!
