My second trip to Mindanao. The plane touched down CDO airport. CDO stands for Cagayan De Oro, it is also called the "City of Golden Friendship." We arrived at CDO airport around 6 in the morning then went to town to visit the family of my friend, I think we stayed there until 8 am, after that we travel going to the port where we will ride a barge going to Camiguin island.

The White Island, actually this is not an island it is a sand dune, if it is high tide you can only see some part of it, if low tide you can walk on it like a beach.

Enigmata Tree House and Sculpture Garden, I lost my jacket here :(, We played Sungka here one of the traditional Filipino games, I think we met our Swedish friend here.
From Enigmata We rode on a tricycle to go to Katigbawasan Falls,, It is a 250 feet tall falls.

After the Falls we climb a mountain which I forgot the name, But I tried to jokes to my two lady friends that there is a snake, I wanted to surprised them being the mischievous me I saw a twig and with an intention to shout SNAKE! then the brown twig suddenly moved it was a real snake after all, I was the one who was caught by surprised. As we walk down the mountain our friend Marcus give us a hitch on his rented bike. The first ride was 3 people on one bike. Then we walked down so 4 people rode the bike after :P this is called Habal habal. As we are walking down I noticed even on the mountains people love Karaoke and they spoke to me in their language, which I can not comprehend not a single word. I told my Japanese and French friend I am also a foreigner here because I can not understand what the People are saying :(. After the trek and the snake we dip on to a hot spring resort, too bad I was not able to take pictures, I wonder why? maybe my battery run out. After the Dip we drunk beer in one of the hotel near our rented cottage.

There is a underwater cemetery in Camiguin but unfortunately we did not able to visit. It was buried by Volcanic Eruptions, in Camiguin you can find one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines which is Mt. Hibok-hibok. It was featured once in Television, the biodiversity of Camiguin is so many too. They featured Whales passing the island ^^,
