The beauty of Samal

One of the places very near to  me here in Davao that I just do not get to visit enough is the Island of Samal, and its only a few minutes boat ride from me too and not having a car at the other end does restrict me in seeing  the places like the Bat cave and the numerous Resorts.

Lucky for me a few weeks ago I was with Bob Martin who ran me around some of the Islands beautiful places and  in a few hours we travelled a good distance, and as readers may know I have a great Video camera that allows me 5 minutes of battery life per charge and despite looking for a new battery here and in Manila its something we have to live with for a few more weeks.

Here is a video that shows just some of the beauty and the character of not only the Philippines but Samal in particular!!!

With land prices rising at an amazing rate on the Island I suggest those with a healthy bank account rush now to buy, sorry to say I am not included..YET!!

    Whats an average hector off the beach go for now John? My wife bought a hector 5-6 yrs ago..all i can remember is where the Ferry docks you go left to fork in road and its in that area (gravel rd. ) Tentativley this Feb we are slated to arrive Davao …maybe we’ll buy another lot.

    Though just six months ago, it’s seems like forever since I was there. Thanks taking me back, if just for a moment.

    Due to my impecunious nature right now I’m afraid I’m in the same group as you and can’t buy… but next year… yes when I come back from Alaska next year I think I will seriously look into Samal land.
