Study trip to Malalison Island




    As the sun rises, its  rays spread out into the sky and reflects the normal image of the sea showing its  blazing tangerine effects as if it colonizing  the entire island. The school of fishes underneath begun to swirl their tails  and explore the beautiful scenery gifted to them. Then the sky becomes clearer and transparent which the waters from the sea cooperates and gives credit to  everybody to notice its brilliant features.


 

    As our boat is getting near to this island,  the blue water  becomes greener  which the beautiful coral reefs  and the different species of fishes hiding on it could be seen. As if the water is just meters deep. 


  How I wish i knew how to swim because if I do, i will jump off from the boat and do chasing with  the waves and having fun with the fishes.( maybe later, i become a mermaid!).

 

 

It took us 30 minutes or more to reach this fantastic island. 



 

As I can feel the cool sea breeze  touches my skin  and the wind forces the  white sand  to welcome me (us) as I(we) get down from the boat.

von is  just savoring the freshness of the sea...hahaha


 


reg took the pose..

         

Malalison Island is an island that the Antique must be proud of. Besides of its  white sand and fresh-like water that everyone  could enjoy, is the brown hills in  bizarre.

 If the white sand and fresh-like water could be comparable to the well known Boracay island, the hills could also be comparable  with our own Chocolate hills in Bohol.

 



 Also on this island, the enormous number  of different species of a plant which considered already rare can be found. PITCHER PLANT!! the different species can be found everywhere on this island. But even you want to bring it home, you cannot have it..the plant is 'bawal ' to take home!! I think the soil in this island contains something  phytonutrients  which are capable to grow this rare plant.






                  


Also, there is a fern like this!







and this..


  No matter how hot the UV rays as long as we enjoy exploring the  every inch of the island.















Whew! (assuming we are in Bagiuo...and in Tagaytay!!cheng!.)

  

 




But let's have our lunch first. Its really starving to see the amazing place like this.







As our purpose to have this trip is to study, collect and have fun!!




 Starfishes are abundant in this island!!But we just have to get only few  to conserve  their existence!! We have to protect the Nature's gift!!

Even if we are already exhausted  because of walking under the heat of the sun, our hearts are filled with joy  and happiness because of this experience. Our eyes and mind are already satisfied with the scenic beauties  which when we go home, we have stories to tell!!
