Gone Swimming: Sandbar at Concepcion, Iloilo

May 26, 2008 – 11:35 pm

After some time, I finally got a chance to unwind a little bit. The beach outing had been planned for quite some time but the weather had not been good so there was some doubt if the plan would push through.

waiting for me

As always, I was late in arriving. The agreed meeting time was 7-8 am but I arrived 8:30 am. I was quite embarrassed because they were all waiting for me, granted that I’m not totally acquainted with them all (I could say was gatecrashing because they were all barkadas and I was only acquainted with a few of them). But they were really great people and I never felt out place once.

van

Here we are on the van going to Concepcion. The whole drive was very smooth sailing, comfortable and only took a little over 2 hours.

We were dropped off at Conception’s marketplace where we stopped over to buy fish and other supplies. We also ate our lunch in a carinderia there.

 

A 20-minute boat ride will take you to the Sandbar island. Here is our first view:
