Bringing Loon to Hive

in TravelFeed2 years ago

Hello! It’s me, Rosette.🌹

I’d like to share with you some of the travel pictures I took from one of the towns here in Bohol. Approximately 24.8 km from Tagbilaran City, lies Loon, a rural town filled with hidden wonders for both national and international tourists. Here are some snapshots I took using my cellphone. Here's a self-portrait taken by my friend. Of course, I wouldn't miss the chance to take a book with me and pose in a historical area.😉

This majestic staircase is the iconic Inang-angan Stairway found in Napo, Loon, Bohol. It was declared a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum in the year 2010. The stairway is made with coral stones and has 5 flights and 212 steps! Sure, it was tiring to go up and down the steps while we were having a mini photoshoot. Just be careful when going down because, due to the moss that grew on the steps, they become slippery after a heavy rain. It is located just beside the Birhen sa Kasilak Church, which serves as a shortcut from the streets of Moto Sur to the coastal barangay of Napo. Here is a photo of the Birhen sa Kasilak Church.

Napo's White Sandy Beach

There's no better thing to do than go swimming on Napo's white sandy beach. If you have been to Panglao's white beaches, they are quite different from Napo's. The beach is surrounded by small mangrove trees and is littered with seashells.

Basdio, Loon

Since I am not from Loon, I have to call a friend in order to explore more of what this town has to offer. I have here a selfie of me and my best friend, Bianca, who is a local from Catagbacan Sur, Loon.
She then led me to Sandingan Island, where we found Basdio Beach. Unlike Napo's sandy beach, Basdio has a rocky surface. Although Sandingan Island has a variety of exclusive private resorts, we opt for the public beaches since they are more affordable (I'm broke, remember?).😌 Here are the photos I took while we were exploring the rocky beach of Basdio. The first two photos are during high tide.

You can see how it would be a great background for photoshoots. Aside from the view, it is also secluded, which is a plus if you are camera-shy when people are around. This is all for now. Thanks and adios!

Hi @rosethoscope,
Great to see you posting to the TravelFeed community! We launched the #travelfeed curated tag more than 3 years ago and have been supporting the best travel blogs on Hive ever since. But did you know that TravelFeed has evolved? Based on the feedback of thousands of Hive travel bloggers we created TravelFeed.io.

TravelFeed.io brings together all the benefits of Hive decentralized blogging with features that you as a travel blogger will love: Photo galleries, Instagram embeds, custom maps and more. We also offer many of the features you love on Peakd such as drafts and post scheduling. And if you want, you can even use our easy site builder to set up your own travel blog on your own domain which can be a great way to generate a passive income from your blog!

Unfortunately, focussing on developing the best platform for travelers means that we no longer curate the #travelfeed tag and the TravelFeed Hive community. But, you can log in with your Hive account on TravelFeed.io to publish your next travel post, and it will be posted to Hive automatically! Every day, we select the best posts and reward them with an upvote and added visibility.

We would love to see you on TravelFeed.io soon :)
