Bellaroca: Almost Santorini

September 29 to October 1, 2011. It was still raining in Manila when the plane bound for Marinduque left the airport. But we didn't let the bad weather dampen our spirits, no siree. Even if there were some flights which have already been cancelled at the last minute. The universe might have conspired as Marinduque was anything but wet. Contrary to the negative reviews, Bellaroca was not a disappointment. It definitely lived up to its 6-star rating (haha I'm not being paid by Bellaroca to say this). 

This trip was for hubby's birthday getaway. Certain plans have been kept under wraps before the big day. He said I pulled out all the stops. He had no idea the surprises were planned months in advance. Add to that, the Bellaroca staff were all efficient. We will definitely be coming back!

Our bellies are already bursting into seams by the time this birthday cake arrived. Thanks Bellaroca for the surprise birthday number and the complimentary cake.
