Here Comes the Sun... Glan Padidu

Mesmerized by the breathtaking view in Glan.

We were jokingly singing as we traveled towards our destination, Rosal Resort in Gumasa, Glan, Sarangani Province.  We were so eager to see the beach.  Aside from the good things we have heard about the beaches in Glan, it'll be the first time for most of us to visit the place.  So, after an hour drive, finally we reached the resort... and it did not disappoint our expectations. A serene sight, white and fine sand, comfortable and uncrowded place (considering it is a weekday).  Since it was still early when we arrived at the site and the sun was still rising, we right away took the opportunity, it's the best time to go on swimming.

At last, Rosal Resort.

A very special moment... captured by a paparazzi (lol)

 

Can't wait to go to the beach... 'coz it might run dry ;)

It was sunny the whole day, a perfect time to take pictures and roam along the shore.  The beach line was full of natural rock formations and vegetation with fine sands along and within the beach swimming area.  The locals were warm and very accommodating.  They even let us see  their catch which showed how rich  the marine life in their area was.  We took lots of photos, looked for some nice drift woods and enjoyed the beach all day long, while some of us took a nice and relaxing nap in our cottage and along the shaded portion of the beach.

Just having the time of our lives...

After a whole day of fun and relaxation, even if the kids and the kids at heart (haha) still wanted to stay longer, we had to go home.  We brought sand and drift woods(for our garden), said a  prayer of thanksgiving and safe trip back home, and waived our goodbyes to the place with the hope of returning back someday soon.  It was indeed such a wonderful experience for all of us.  Thank you God for all the wonderful blessings.

By the way, in case your wondering about the title, Glan-Padidu isn't just added to rhyme with the song of the Beetles' "Here Comes the Sun", but it's actually a place we passed by going to the resort. God bless.
