Hagamit Falls on Samal Island is absolutely beautiful! On Friday we drove aboard the ferry in Davao to go to Samal Island to spend the day at these beautiful falls! It was only about a 15 minute ride on the ferry to get to the Island and then we drove for about 20 minutes to get to the falls.
We took along a lunch of fried chicken, oranges, and chips which we ate when we arrived before everyone dove in the water. Eating lunch with the ants takes on a whole new meaning here! As the food drops to the
ground the ants start gathering...the little black ones are okay...it's the red ones that bite! Speaking of which...The saying "don't let the bed bugs bite" just doesn't have much meaning when you live in cold Alaska, but it sure does here!
Anyway...once our lunch was eaten everyone got in the cool water to play in the waterfalls. The kids had so much fun jumping off the rocks into the water. The "big" kids had fun too or those that are kids at heart!
At the falls we kept moving up stream to try different pools of water and different water falls. It was a wonderful day of exploring God's creation and enjoying a beautiful spot on an island in the
Philippines. We are loving the new experiences and the new places we get to see!
