Lake Apo: From Sunset to Sunrise

I've learned of Lake Apo from Lisa Marie of Pinay Travelista, Alex of Iligan Inquisitor and Arlene of Joys in Life who went there last October 2011.  In one of the meetings of the Iligan Bloggers Society, Inc., they told us of their experience and how nice the place is.   I have also seen their photos of the Lake Apo.  It really looked so nice, so calm.

From their stories, we also wanted to go there and see for ourselves.  As the Bible says, when two or more people ask for something, God will grant it.  Well, we sure had our wishes come true.

When we have finalized our trip to General Santos to attend the Blogfest Soccsksargen 2.0, I suggested we stay overnight at Lake Apo on our way back home to Iligan from Gensan.  When the group agreed, we made our itinerary and arrangements to Dr. Almer Alfonso, the owner of a resort in Lake Apo.  And we were glad the place was vacant on November 28-29, so we will be accommodated.  :-D

We arrived at the place on November 28 right before sunset.  So we got to see the sunset at Lake Apo.

At the dawn of November 29, Pat woke me up so we can watch the sunrise together.  It was still dark outside, but they were already all awake and started taking pictures outside the house.  I was the only one missing, hehehe..

After taking pictures of the sunrise, the group had fun taking pictures of our shadows.  :-)

After eating breakfast, we went kayaking, swimming, modeling.  These will be in another post, hehehe...  :-)
