Image
This is the continuation of my day tour in Camiguin Island. Check the first part  here . From Sto. Nino Cold Spring, we proceeded to Soda Swimming Pool. Kuya Jojo told me that the water tastes like soda, hence the name of the pool. Having heard it, I planned to taste the water. Great that they have a drinking station for everyone to make use of. Entrance fee is Php 20.00.  Welcome to Soda Swimming Pool This is where I tasted the water. Indeed, it has a different taste from the fresh water...  I took a plunge in the swimming pool and couldn’t help myself but pay attention to the boys scout undergoing a first-aid training and swimming lesson.  Because the pool was a bit crowded, I did not stay long there.  Boys scout enjoying their training I changed clothes for our next visit - the old church.  The side view of the old church  The ruined church was caused by the eruption of Mt.

Then Kuya Jojo fetched me and apologized for the delay because rain was pouring while he was on his way to fetch me. We then started our whole day tour in Camiguin.

Hibok-Hibok and the old Mt. Vulcan. I paid 440 pesos inclusive of the entrance fee and that of the motor d
