Sibuyan Island: A glimpse of paradise in the Philippines

One of the islets in my home country. Crista de Gallo is located in the central part of the Philippines, in the Province of Romblon. Situated within the town of San Fernando, just 5-6 hours away (by motorboat) from the famous beach of Boracay, Aklan. The images were taken during my last visit in 2007.

The short clip is showing the white sand and crystal clear water ... a place that everyone is dreaming for a perfect holiday destination!

Welcome to the Philippine islands! See you soon...

Snapshots of my summer break in Rome and Florence

Some of the photos taken during my visit in Italy in June 2008. Highlights of the trip include the visit to Rome's finest tourist attractions: Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, Piazza Navona, The Colosseum, Roman Forum, St Peter's Square, Palatino, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Steps) and many others.

In Florence, must-see places include: Piazza del Duomo, Campanile, The Baptistery, Piazza della Signoria, Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo, The Ponte Vecchio (busiest bridge market street), and Michelangelo's masterpiece, David (replica) in Piazza Signoria (fronting Bargello Museum), and the Galleria degli Uffizi. Unfortunately, I was not able to get inside the Leonardo da Vinci museum due to long queue of people! Well, there are always reasons why I have to go back to Florence and enjoy its art and culture.
