My boyfriend and I always plan for an unusual things to do everyday and visiting old castle is always on top of our list 😊. Since we visited Gräfsnäs Castle and Läcksö Castle already we come up to look for another one and that is Tjolöholm Caslte in Halland,Sweden.
Tjolöholms slott, Halland
The Castle is open to the public throughout the years and you can check on their site for some calendar activities and some exceptional dates when they are close HERE IS THEIR SITE👈
What a lovely facade!
We went there yesterday because of their traditional large Christmas Market called Julmarknad på Tjolöholm and this year is their 26th year. For a days, small shops and food seller from different part of Sweden visit there to sell their food delicacies and unique works. They also offer some free taste of their products which I really really like 😂 meats, cheeses, jellies, candies, nuts and julmust and many more.
We really like this different flavors of fudge yums!😋
The second castle we visit is Gräfsnäs Castle. This castle is very old. Originally built in the 16th century and according to an old tale/legend, this castle is cursed by a woman that was badly treated by the landowner. She cursed the castle that no family would own it for more than three generations, and cursed was laid upon it that it would burn three times with 100 years between each fire and so it did happened 1634, 1734 and 1834. They say after the fire in 1834 no-one bothered to rebuild it again and it has been a ruin ever since.
Me at Läckö Slott (visit their site) Amazing structure and they called it as "A pearl in the shores of Lake Värnern" in Sweden.
I am a big fan of an old castle (any castle) and it always fascinating me :) Europe castle was indeed amazing they're so beautiful with rich culture and interesting stories to tell. It always gave me this great feelings about my childhood dreams and happiness.
To cut the story short,I promised my self that someday I will have a chance to see all the castle that can be found around in Europe (haha yeah right! I know it is a big dream at all) but who knows!
Puerto Princesa Underground River is indeed beautiful, a truly Philippines' great treasure :) When I saw this place, I realized how lucky I am to see this wonderful nature right inside our country and I am proud to say it that Philippines is really amazing *wink!!
Puerto Princesa Higlights :)
Anyway for those who didn't know: The Underground River/Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is now one of the new 7 wonders of nature. A UNESCO world heritage site and one of the longest navigable underground rivers in the world. Wow! Tours here nowadays are being regulated by the our government and if you wish to visit this tourist destination, you'll have to book in advance. Its so popular now and if you guys were planning to visit on a peak season well, think again hehe.
On our way to Sabang port and all you can see is a green leafy background with Limestone hills on the side
This post might be a
little late na po * nye! super duper late na pala kasi I went to Cebu last
year pa and I forgot share this amazing experience of mine haha I just
browsing my old photo album just now and saw this LoL!.. Anywai, when it comes to attractiveness tour, escapade and challenges
I think this one big whale is also on top of the list. Aside of it number of people
that have already spread the news about swimming with the whale and make some post about it, even reaches national television pa and featured on some documentary
channel as wel . But
it was truly a very great experience for me, SWIMMING with them is sooo FUN!!!!
wholla! is that me???... hahaha!!
The whale sharks were
beautiful, but their size makes them pretty frightening. Although I'm a beach
lover and a fish lover ever since but this!!, This one is really makes me feel quiver :P hahaha I don’t
know much about whales feeling ko nangangat sila hahahaha!! lOl do I look like A big plankton!! hahaha, but being near
the mouth of this whale hmm this shark!! is something that I find rather scary. Ok lng
sana kung they were just swimming along lang with us and minding their own business
na kumain lang 😂. But I and the whole gang were there, in THEIR territory,
and it would not be the whales fault if they accidentally sucks us in and
swallows us whole. hahahaha *paranoid lang.
It was really an amazing
experience because it was my first time to get near in a very big fish haha (
yabang ko noh,😂 kasi hindi luto yung big fish hahaha).
Spelunking at Sagada Cave is now my second favorite extreme adventure, next to
my intense PLUNGED experienced at Bohol last year :). Seriously, I’m not really
into spelunking lol or maybe I don’t know what it is or I guess I don’t want to
walk into darkness, take note 4-5 hours inside the cave
only with gas lamp (petrol lamp) hehe and since all my friends are into it and I don’t want
to be called chicken wings or whatever they call it…so I go with them for the
sake of friendship hehehe :P BUT I tell you…its really worth it.. *wink
[Sorry for the quality of the picture :P medjo malabo. po] My friends and I at King's Curtain
My friends and I planned for another vacation this year and we decided to conquer SAGADA :). Since we will going to have a long holiday vacation on end of the month of November, we figured out that this is the best time to visit it :) (I agree because I never been in SAGADA. It always been a dream for me to visit that place, I only saw it in a documentary program in GMA 7 before, i think that is iwitness.) So here it goes they booked a package tour @ PARANA tours for 3,200 petot per head for 3Days/2nights of stay) .
All of us were really excited for the long road trip via a small opps big van. A very long butt-aching ride before we reached our final destination lol :P. Good thing we had some several stop- over to discharge, refill our stomach and empty our bladders *wink. Tip: You have to prepare (5) five peso coin to be able to use a comfort room or else "sa bukid walang papel" hahaha.
I heart Sagada so much, the moment I laid my eyes on its magnificent scenery I can say it is indeed beautiful... I know in my heart it is a paradise :)
My trip to Davao this year had been my second time around in Mindanao, first was in Camiguin and Cagayan de Oro. We manage to had quick side trip to Samal Island, which was five minutes boat ride from the city. We just want to see the the famous Bat cave and Hagimit falls 😊.

Wow, that was one hell of a ride!! Nothing beats to go SUISLIDE (zipline) between two big cliffs :) at Danao. SUISLIDE it sounds like suicide :P haha maybe they called it suislide to attract more people who are more into an extreme adventure (yep...including me) lol.
oh no! what an early death lol :) just kidding!!
This activity is part of my EAT DANAO Experience post before wherein I also tried their extreme PLUNGE ever!! hehe. If you're planning to go there you can hire a van or simply got to the Bus terminal and ride a bus that going to Danao. The terminal is located in Tagbilaran City. Joy ride for about 30-45 minutes away from the city.
I saw this picture on facebook :) at nakakatuwa siya at nakakatuwa siya 😄 credits to the one who made this haha
(copy ko na po ito....just to share kahit na nalulungkot ako at nabaha kami)
Binaha kami pero hindi kagaya nung ONDOY na grabe, this kind of humor picture really made my day :)na kahit anong kalamidad ang dumating tayong mga Pilipino ay nakangiti at kayang kaya ang anumang pagsubok.
I thought whenever I hear Man-made forest, I was wondering if that forest is also filled in with artificial trees haha yun bang mga plastik ba? hahaha or may halong plastik..:) funny but seriously, I've never been in any man-made forest here in our country before but when I saw it in Bohol, Wow really amazing!
I read that there are many of these man-made forest here in our country and what I saw in Bohol is just only one of it. :) This forest is protected under the government law wherein all the trees or plant in this area are prohibited from cutting (terms "Kaingin").

To start with.. guys! Bee Farm at Bohol is a resort and restaurant, they provide accommodation,livelihood, selling goods/pasalubong and a spa services, Day trips are also possible if you don't like to stay in their resort :).
After we went Dolphin watching at Balicasag Island, Our next stop is Bee Farm :) we waited for at least 30 minutes before the tour starts when we arrive in the farm. While waiting for the tour, My friends and I visit the Bee store and tried their famous organic ice cream that taste ohh soo yummy :) hehe
Boat tour started up soo early for us to catch up the dolphins, they say that early in the morning is the ideal time to go dolphin watching because the sea is calm. Boatman said that, group of dolphins can be spotted when they are hunting for a food. so maybe morning is breakfast time for them hahaha [kidding] :)
We woke up early in the morning, breakfast and then zooom to Alona beach resort where the boat is waiting... hehe (just to make the story short).
on our way to balicasag :)
Our boat tour package includes dolphin watching followed by snorkeling activity in Balicasag Island's Marine Sanctuary. I guess our boat rate is more or less 1K php (haha not sure). Only life vest is provided but not the snorkeling gear. It took around 30-45 minutes to reach the site where the dolphins are. Lot of boats are already in the site chasing a dolphins using their motor banca..:( oh my!!! we arrived a little bit late :P luckily, there are still lots of dolphins around :) hehe thanks god hehe for the nice weather and a chance to see them!
WOW .. I saw dolphins!! and dami-dami nila ang saya!!
We didn't spend a lot of time watching the dolphins and when the time we can no longer see them, we decided to go to Balicasag island for another activity and to have a joyful lunch!!:)
I've never been to Bohol so I was pretty excited that time. It was my first time to see the famous chocolate hills and Tarsier in the country :). It was a great trip together with my travel buddies! What a nice experience to travel by a truck, by a small boat, by a plane and most of all!!! by a small van courtesy of my friend MJ [all of us is 9, come to think of that haha! SMALL VAN and A TRUCK!! what a nice road trip we had :P..Imagine that!! :).
I try to make a simple compilation of my travel escapade :) from my Borcay to Camiguin then Cagayan de Oro plus Palawan to Bohol :).
I'M IN THE PHILIPPINES!!! :) yieehaw!! :) I just love my pictures and looking at it reminds me the beauty of the place. Proud to show and share it to you guys :) I have a lot of pictures but I only choose what I think is the best one for me :).
Hope you like it guys!

No no to chicken dance!! I conquer my fear in height...I did the Plunge and Suislide at Danao. SUPER mega to the maximum highest level of experience!! 💛 it!! I must do it again and again and again!! :) and yes!!!Hahaha scary pero kinaya ko!!
You can experience the plunge for only 700 Php petot, with certificate of it once you'll try it. Suislide on the other hand cost 350 Php pesos naman. I guess it takes 2 hours joy ride from Tagbilaran to Danao Adventure park. Time consuming right? hehe anyway sulit naman:P
I'm here now!! emotionally ready!! (kunyari lang 😜)
A canyon swing adventure (THE PLUNGE) attraction mounted over a 200 meter high and 300 meter wide gorge. A person would have to do a 45 meters free fall before being launched on a pendulum swing measuring to a hundred meter diameter. Actually there are lots of activities you can do there like rappelling, root climbing, kayaking and lots of lots of lots of adventure....hehe try visit E.A.T DANAO for more info :)
My friends and I choose Suislide and Plunge for our activity. We decided to go first with Suislide since it was not terrifying compared to Plunge LOL 😂(para daming time na magsink-in sa mga mind namin na gagawin talaga namin ang plunge hahaha)
This year, me and my travel buddies availed a not so cheap fare at Airphil.. oh well, our target place in non other than BOHOL!! Philippines!! great!! can't wait for it! just counting the days before the ultimate and extreme adventure! *wink
