Patungan Beach Resort in Cavite

QUIET BEACH DAY IN MARAGONDON CAVITE

PLEASE NOTE*** This is not a private beach but we were fortunate enough to be the only ones there during the week because it is usually very busy on the weekend. 

Our plan was to go to Katungkulan Beach Resort or the so called Little Boracay, but we were not allowed to enter in the Marine Base because we had a foreigner with us. We end up going to the Patungan Beach in Maragondon. Before you can reach to that beach, you have to ride a little boat for a 50php per person. They offered as the cottage for 1500php but we managed bargain down to 800php (tawad skills :) :) ) You can stay overnight for an additional cost. 

The beach was okay, it does not have a white sand like the Katungkulan Beach and it is a little dirty like some trash, but it really was a beautiful cove. It was like a private beach for us because it was in the middle of the week and no one was there, only the residence who live there and maintain the beach.

Its very relaxing and scenic with warm water. If you have free time during the week and are looking for quiet, relaxing, and very scenic place to go with your family I recommend Katunglan Beach. I give it 3 out of 5 sassy stars, not perfect but worth a visit.



















Conway Castle, Wales UK

Ever since i always wanted to see Castles, I am fascinated with fantasy movies has a castle settings. United Kingdom has a lot of Castles. I am grateful to see some of the historical castles on Earth and one of it was the Conway Castle in Wales. We went to wales two times as the place is so beautiful and surrounded by nature, mountains, beaches, etc. The landscape in Snowdonia is so beautiful.

Conwy Castle (WelshCastell Conwy, English: Conway Castle) is a medieval fortification in Conwy, on the north coast of Wales. It was built by Edward I, during his conquest of Wales, between 1283 and 1289. Constructed as part of a wider project to create the walled town of Conwy, the combined defences cost around £15,000, a huge sum for the period. Over the next few centuries, the castle played an important part in several wars. It withstood the siege of Madog ap Llywelyn in the winter of 1294–95, acted as a temporary haven for Richard II in 1399 and was held for several months by forces loyal to Owain Glyndŵr in 1401.

UNESCO considers Conwy to be one of "the finest examples of late 13th century and early 14th century military architecture in Europe", and it is classed as a World Heritage site. The rectangular castle is built from local and imported stone and occupies a coastal ridge, originally overlooking an important crossing point over the River Conwy. Divided into an Inner and an Outer Ward, it is defended by eight large towers and two barbicans, with a postern gate leading down to the river, allowing the castle to be resupplied from the sea. It retains the earliest surviving stone machicolations in Britain and what historian Jeremy Ashbee has described as the "best preserved suite of medieval private royal chambers in England and Wales". In keeping with other Edwardian castles in North Wales, the architecture of Conwy has close links to that found in the kingdom of Savoy during the same period, an influence probably derived from the Savoy origins of the main architect, James of Saint George.

I enjoy a lot in this castle, the kid's heart inside me was jumping for joy. If only we have a lot of time we probably visit more castles like Chepstow Castle to hunt a Dragon hehehe.

By the way if you have kids travelling with you. You should visit Battlemum for more tips.










Well for me its beautiful, Its my first time to be here in this Castle, I been to many Castles in Europe and for me all of them is beautiful. 

A very late post. Next is the Caernarfon Castle in Wales too!
