Day 1- Antique Vacation

... Antique ? ....

Where is it ?
Just a simple question.
It is on the island of Panay at the heart of the Philippines, Western Visayas where the people called it "the Hidden Paradise".
An unspoiled province with a population of 350.000 people with a long stretch of undisturbed beaches, rain forest, clear rivers, unspoiled islands and very friendly Filipinos.
The community's life is working mostly in agricultural products like rice, Moscovado (sugar cane), vegetables and fishing.

Just a few steps from several airports like Catiklan, Kalibo in the north and Ilo Ilo for the south. Even the capital San Jose de Buenavista with a population of about 50.000 people have his own small airport.



Tired of my work and business in Europe gives me the choice of a one year vacation full of adventures, scuba diving, sightseeing tours and cultural events.
Also relaxing at this unspoiled beach, reading books with very nice food and drinks.




I rented a Cottage in a very lovely and familiar Resort called Phaidon Beach Resort in Pandan, Antique.
Very good facilities like Air Con, hot / cold water shower and privat terrace which is inmiddle a tropical garden.
The room services and cleaning was more than excellent and I spent a wonderful time there.









Located in the Northern Part
of this Province with an amazing golden white sand beach and surrounded by a natural Rain forest which is the last part of the real Rain Forest at the Western Visayas.










Great Sunsets....
at this unspoiled natural beach...
