ReplyDeleteThat's true. You should try this one in Corregidor.
DeleteAmong these I'd prolly do the ghost hunting first! Weird but I enjoy exploring haunted places (I braved Diplomat Hotel on my own last year). The tunnel looks exciting too! Oh oh and most likely do the zipline! I've been second guessing whether to go to Corregidor as I wasn't aware that there are tons of activities to do there. *Mind Blown*
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Imma sport my inner British and swim at Bloody Beach! LMAO!
Can I DIY this or do I have to contact a travel agency?
Thanks for the suggestions, Neil-san!
