Hello, everyone! How are you doing? I hope you're all doing well. Last time, I shared my summer experience in Cebu. Today, I'll take you on another summer adventure, this time in Glan, Sarangani Province, Philippines.

It was a hot summer day when my friends and I decided to go on a beach trip. We chose Glan because it is just a little over an hour away from our city. Aside from being nearby, it is also known for its crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches, making it a perfect summer destination.

While traveling, we made a stopover at Windmill Restaurant, located in Malapatan, Sarangani, where we had our lunch. They serve delicious food, and right beside the restaurant is the famous RM Buko Halo, where you can enjoy their refreshing buko halo. It was the perfect treat before continuing our journey.

After taking some photos, we stopped once again at the Welcome to Glan sign. We also call it the town's overlooking spot because it gives visitors a beautiful view of Glan and its wide blue ocean. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking.

My friends and I enjoyed the fresh air throughout the trip since we were riding in a non-air-conditioned vehicle. Honestly, I didn't mind at all because nothing beats the cool natural breeze while traveling.

When we finally reached our destination, we couldn't wait to take pictures. We were welcomed by the sign that read, "Welcome to Isla Jardin Del Mar!" The resort offers many wonderful amenities, including a beautiful beach, stunning stone formations, clean and comfortable rooms, a restaurant that serves delicious food, and exciting water activities like kayaking, banana boat rides, and aqua cycling.

If you're someone who loves adventure, I highly recommend trying the banana boat with your friends. Hehe. It's exciting, fun, and guaranteed to give you lots of laughs.

As you can see, every corner of the resort is picture-perfect. The stone formations are definitely the paid actors of the place—they make every photo look even more beautiful! And just look at the crystal-clear ocean. It makes you want to jump right into the water.

We also tried aqua cycling. For safety, we wore life jackets before heading into the sea. At first, I felt nervous, but after a few minutes, I started enjoying every moment. It felt like I was floating peacefully on the water while taking in the beautiful surroundings. 😊

We stayed until 5:00 PM. By the end of the day, we were tired from all the activities, but every moment was worth it. Looking back, I realized that beautiful places become even more unforgettable when shared with good friends. I would definitely love to visit Glan again someday. Just look at our smiles—we were truly happy. Hehe.

Thank you so much for reading! Until the next story to be told.
