Wanderlust Diary #06:The Marvelous Island of Kalanggaman (Part 02)

Somewhere off the coast of Palompon, Leyte, Philippines, is the hidden and beautiful island of Kalanggaman. The island is named as such due to the 'langgam', the name of the migratory birds to the locals.

I had the chance to visit this island a couple years ago as discussed on the first part of my stay here on my Wanderlust Diary #05.

Now this is the second part of my story where I will be sharing more photos of the island.

After the wonderful sunrise we witnessed that morning, my friend and I explored the island a little bit more. It was cold yet anyway to take a swim in the waters.

After a heavy breakfast of fresh fish cooked into 'tinola' (fish stew), grilled fish and live sea urchins, we were not able to resist the inviting clear waters anymore.

'not so tempting eh?' 😀

We stayed in the water and enjoyed for almost 2 hours. One of our co-worker even went diving and caught some more sea urchins.

Unfortunately, every journey, no matter how wonderful they may be,must come to an end. We needed to leave after lunch as there are some things that needs to be done back at Ormoc City before our flight back to Manila. The pump boat that took us to the island the day before, came back on time to bring us back to the mainland.

bags were packed and ready to go

The last photo was the view that Kalanggaman offered as we were on the boat, leaving. Looking back, it was a bit cruel to stare at this kind of view, at this serene place and leave. But it's never goodbye. I say it's just, until next time.

Thank you for dropping by. ❤

All the best! {always}
