Kabutongan Falls With Friends
This happened last March 14, 2021, when we got a lot boring that day, and fortunately, we were on the same rest days. Since the protocol has loosen up already, so we decided to go in a place were we could able to have fun and adventure. It is really far away from the city, so we traveled 3 hours just to go there. From the main road, we walked for almost an hour and did the trekking for another 2 hours just to reach the Kabutongan falls.
It is the best place to relax, the so-called hidden paradise in Malabuyoc, Cebu, where you could find the entrancing of crystal water surrounded by lush greeneries. This is one of the best place to recommend here in Cebu if ever you want to visit here.
Behind the falls, there's a cave, and inside the cave, you can find a hidden waterfalls also.

Hello, @saman88.
I like those beaches that are quiet, without so many waves, and if you have the opportunity to see species like this, it is much more fun.
Yes of course....Very good place to enjoy....
Sadly I guess he is no more 😐
What??? No no... When my son watching news and after seen dead turtles... he saying "father...Is that our turtle..." I am saying no ..."We can see him again..."
There was a dead body of a giant turtle in Hikkaduwa after that incident and locals said that they haven't seen him for a while. :/ I'm not sure, hopefully he is ok.
It is always wonderful to walk at the beach with loved ones 😍.
I love this beach and have been there so many times...

Venue : Waga, Sri Lanka
Speciality Of The Place : Wak Oya
https://w3w.co/physical.rectangle.replayed
This is my first experience which I joined to a little picnic without my amma. Those days I worked in Pannipitiya, Colombo and it was very close to my uncle's place(මාමා). That day was a poya day and they had planned to go to a bath from this place and they had invited me before. After taking permission of my mom, I went to my uncle's place before the day after off work.
As I heard, it is wak oya what a beautiful place situated in Waga, Sri Lanka. There is a train track across the river and it adds a amazing look to the place. This photo was taken by my uncle's wife and this was my little gang. My uncle's two sons, daughter and two friends of loku malli are them.
It is a amazing day in my travel diaries because that was my first experience what joined to a picnic without amma. It was a challenge. Because I wanted to take my fun a lot but had to careful without causing any trouble. (නැත්තම් ආයිමත් ඔය වගේ ගමන් යන්න දෙන එකක් නෑ අම්මා😬). This photo was taken by my uncle's daughter Chathuni and I wanted to go to the middle of the track but my mom had given do many advices to my uncle so I couldn't do that 😬.
Thanks to @anusha96, I enjoyed that day again 😍

Hi @anusha96 thank you for initiating this contest I'm @saneunji from Philippines and here is my entry.
A Day in Bantayan Island
https://what3words.com/buffers.bottling.doodled/source
We had a family trip last month in this beautiful island of Bantayan, Philippines, an island known by many tourist all over the world because of it's paradise like scenery. We spent 2 days in this beautiful island and I can say that this place is the most beautiful place I have ever been.
Seeing those clear blue ocean, vast white sand and smelling the ocean breeze felt like I'm in a different dimension. This was really a great escape away from the busy life in the city. I was glad that my family and I decided to spend our vacation here in this beautiful island of Bantayan.
Hello @saneunji,
Wow! Bantayan Island looks like a heaven. The pictures of there are beautiful. I think you spent days there filled with funny experiences. It seems you had enjoyed a lot there. Thank you for the amazing captures! 😍
Hi @anusha96 it really is!!! The place is like a paradise. It's a bit far island but I can assure you it's worth it. 🙂
Yeah 🥰
Greetings friends of the @srilanka community I think this contest organized by @anusha96 is excellent to remember how beautiful it is to travel. The trip that I present to you I did with some friends in 2018 where we had no idea what would be the world in pandemic. To remember is to live. Name of the place visited Tierra Nueva, located in Puerto Ordaz, Bolívar State, Venezuela.

Hello @luimer79,
Yeah. After a travel it remains only photographs and lovely memories. So this also such a beautiful memory for you and its looks very beautiful. 🥰 Is that a river or lake or something?
Hello friend that is the Caroni River located in the state of Bolivar, Venezuela.
Oh! What a nice location 💙
Yes, it is very beautiful. Thanks for the support friend
You're welcome. ❤
Thanks @anusha96. And the #steemsrilanka family. Who has made his creative idea with this contest.
My trip ended in an ocean where no one has ever arrived, this place is in the Pim factory area, north aceh, this is the first time I have visited this place, no wonder we are not allowed to approach that place, I enjoy the view of the calm sea water above tempok as a fringe fastener. I see the factory working and the sound is clear here. The crew tried to start the big engine above the water, but I don't know the reason for making such a loud noise. I ignored the loud noise by enjoying the natural atmosphere in the factory area.
It doesn't look lonely with fishermen stopping their sailing tools on the beach

Thanks to the @srilanka Community for this very special initiative and to @ luimer79 for inviting me to participate.
One of the many trips I have made was to the City of Mérida, Mérida State, Venezuela, in 1999. It was a trip for a week, as a promotional gift for the Fifth Year of High School.
One of the places we visited was the “Los Chorros de Milla” Zoo. At that time I did not have a Digital Camera so I had to take a picture of the printed photograph.
I apologize if it doesn't look so sharp, but it is one of the most beautiful memories I have.

Printed photos remain for a long
That's. But even more so, the whole story behind that image.
Hello @skinnygirl,
22 years ago... What a lovely memory. It doesn't matter how it is old. Thank you for sharing your beautiful memory with us. 🙊
Thanks. They are indelible memories.
You're welcome. 🥰
But there has a thousands of happy moments beyond that photo 😍
Yes, the whole story behind that image.
Hello @anusha96 thanks for this contest 🙂😊 Thanks also to @hae-ra for mentioning me 🙂😊 I'm mariarosa27 from Cebu City Philippines.
I just want to share with you our Family Outing that happened Last year.
Mahayahay Beach Resort, Argao Cebu Philippines
https://w3w.co/mislead.workaholic.mystified
When the pandemic started it's really hard for the people to go outing because of the precautionary measures and health protocol. When we had our family outing, the covid cases somewhat decreased in numbers that's why it was not that strict already. We rented a van for us to go there with the whole family and for a less hassle travel too. And of course, we did not go that far for us to go home earlier because our grandmother who is a paralyzed was with us and many kids too. Our travel hour is 2hrs and approximately 70.5km in distance.
This is not a white sand beach resort but this is incredibly amazing for you cannot step any stone in the water, all sand! and you cannot see any garbage floating even if it is just a public beach resort. And lastly, we chose this place for my grandma could not walk far, she wanted a place where the cottage and the seashore are just near the road where the van stopped.
Hello @mariarosa27,
I'm pretty much sure you had a nice family outing at Mahayahay Beach Resort. Love this sandy beach. You have a nice family. Enjoy and stay safe! 😍
