Antique: Malumpati Spring

We signed up for water tubing. It's like water rafting's little sister. You ride a big round floater and then you just let your self drift through the river. It sounded very exciting, but we still needed to go on a hike for approximately 30 minutes to reach the mouth of the river. I originally planned to carry Caileigh with me but our tour guide said it might be a bit risky because some parts of the river are more than 15 feet deep. We tried to just join the hike on the way up and we'll just walk our way down when they set off for water tubing BUT since it was raining that day, the soil was really slippery and I was wearing plastic sandals (why oh why) so I just decided to go back since we were only a few yards from the spring.

I stayed at the spring with Caileigh and my other cousin, Trini. It started to rain harder so we just sat inside a cottage. We tried to take a dip at the lagoon but it was too cold for Caileigh. huhuhu! For a few minutes I was bored. hahaha! Then after 30 minutes or so, we heard screams coming from the river and I guessed it was from our cousins.

I asked them to take a lot of photos for my blog (I feel no shame) and Karla generously let me use them. The view was breath taking. The waters were really, well, blue. I bet they really had fun!

Karla said that this is the mouth of Bugang River. It is separated from the rest of the river by a small patch of land but it was said that underneath that, where she's sitting, there's a cave that connects the small river bank with the rest of Bugang River.

The cousins with our tour guide! I forgot to get his name but they said he was really cool and was very helpful when they went water tubing.
