An Afternoon in Sampaguita Gardens in Aklan

After a short rest in Ati-Atihan County Inn, we continued our Aklan escapade as we made our way to Sampaguita Gardens in the town of New Washington. The town is about 8 kilometers from Kalibo. From the Ati-Atihan County Inn, we just told the tricycle driver to bring us to the jeepney terminal going to New Washington. The tricycle fare was 8 pesos per person. The terminal is located in Cardinal Jaime Sin Avenue, the same avenue going to the Kalibo Airport. We had to wait for a few minutes for the jeepney to fill up before we were on our way. It took us only 20 minutes to get to New Washington. The jeepney fare was 15 pesos per person.

Accommodations in Kalibo, Aklan

Here is the list of hotels/pension houses that we’ve personally checked out during our visit in Kalibo, Aklan. The first seven were the ones we’ve visited while walking around the town of Kalibo in the morning. They are arranged according to the one we’ve passed by first from the capitol building of Aklan. The last two were visited in the afternoon as we went to the town of New Washington and back. Sorry we forgot to take pictures of the other hotels, but we have scanned and posted here their brochures/price lists. Check them out! 

A Walk in the Town of Kalibo, Aklan

Monument of Godofredo Peralta Ramos, the Father of Aklan

As expected, we were so tired from the previous day’s activities so we weren’t able to leave Roxas City at 5AM as planned. Instead, we were at the van terminal going to Kalibo past 6AM. The tricycle ride from Roxas City Pension House was much farther and the fare was 20php per person. The van and bus terminals are located in Km. 1 in Roxas City. Tell the driver to drop you off in Albar Terminal if you are planning to take the van. Van fare is 110php per person going to Kalibo. 

Laaglaag sa Panay Island (Capiz, Aklan, Iloilo)

Thanks to Cebu Pacific's promotion last year, my husband (Jener) and I were able to visit three provinces in Panay. Well, Jener actually visited four provinces since he went to Guimaras Island (or the province of Guimaras) a day earlier.
