Aklan

From Iloilo, it took four hours by bus to reach Aklan State University in Banga, Aklan. We arrived on campus at lunchtime. After a short rest, we were busy the whole afternoon with our evaluation and planning workshop.

All work and no play make Juan a dull boy. It was time to visit Sampaguita Gardens Resort in New Washington, Aklan which is noted for "It's always Christmas at Sampaguita Gardens." and the famous Precious Moments collections. Despite seeing the place in September 2009, it still felt good to see the attractions of the place.





A visit to Aklan would not be complete without Boracay in the itinerary. So the following day, we were off to one of the world's finest beaches.  This time I didn't have the luxury to go swimming though I was tempted to try the "reef walking" adventure. It turned out to be an eating adventure for our group when we tried the big bowl of crushed ice with cream and fruits.
