The majestic Katibawasan Falls

I have been to Camiguin only last September 2006 together with some friends, this was already planned about six months before the actual travel. I've only seen this beautiful island through pictures in the internet not knowing that when you see it with your own two eyes, you'll fell in love with the place. Of course I have with me my digital camera to take pictures of the famous tourist spots of this island. This island is also famous for their sweet lanzones and during October of every year they are celebrating their Lanzones Festival. See the pictures that I've taken during my stay in Camiguin and I vowed to myself that I will come back to this beautiful island that I've considered to be the island of my dreams.
