I was grumbling on the flight from Manila to Kalibo since the jampacked Domestic Airport made me grumpy, but when I realized I was going to stay at an interesting place I couldn't help but ask questions from the resort's driver who picked me up at the airport. It was drizzling when I arrived but this did not stop me from exploring the place. The resort has a lot of stuff to see and there are educational tour packages (costs between PhP56 to 246 with food) and you can go swimming as well for a small fee.

Here's what I saw:
convention center - that's where I did my talk
a 43-foot aquarium - quite a number of fish, I don't know though what kind
Oriental Flavors - fine dining restaurant (will blog about what I ate there soon)
the SJB Mansion - the presidential suite overlooks the ocean and the mansion is filled up with furniture and houseware from all over the world (including a 300-year old bed)

The Spa - I had a body scrub treatment in the evening and it was truly relaxing, most especially since I had the place to myself.
Jojo's Christmas Cottage - I spent quite a lot of time there chatting with the employees and asking about the dolls. I ended up buying 2 sets. I'll blog about that soon.
Precious Moments Meditation Chapel - the chapel from the outside looked gorgeous, it was unfortunately closed.

Sammy's Circus Rides - I tell you, seeing the ferris wheel and boat made me feel like a kid again.
I unfortunately missed going to the Precious Moments Gallery since my time was limited and I had to catch a plane. Well, check out the photos below.
Thank you for this post. I'm not a precious moments fan but this is interesting and something new!
