Canibad

The habal-habal drive to Canibad took about 30 minutes to 1 hour. We drove through elevations and depressions and very rocky roads. The drive was cool so we must have been high up.

Never ever agree to riding in three's because my 3 friends ended up being stranded in a place with no cellular phone network signal since the shock (whatever it is) of the motorcycle got broken. Good thing, the driver borrowed another motorcycle to take them to Canibad.

The drivers claim that Canibad is Samal's secret. My friends commented that it should have stayed a secret because they were traumatized by the motorcycle drive. Haha.

The sand is not as fine but the waters are cool albeit rocky. :-|

We swam anyway, showered when we were done, paid PhP20 to the owner of the lot we trespassed to reach the beach, then endured another brain-shaking ride to the warehouse where we boarded a bus to Davao.

They say Isla Reta in Talicud Island is better. I must include that in my itinerary on my next visit to Davao. :)
