Corrigidor Island- Revisiting History

Corrigidor Island is one of the many places I always wanted to go to.

Last November 17,2018, I went there with Bob,  and we're on to an interesting,  and educational journey.

Here are some photos from our trip:

Corrigidor Island, locally called Isla ng Corregidor, is an island located at the entrance of Manila Bay in southwestern part of Luzon Island in the Philippines. Due to this location, Corregidor has historically been fortified with coastal artillery to defend the entrance of Manila Bay and Manila from attacks by enemy warships. Located 48 kilometres (30 mi) inland, Manila has been the largest city and the most important seaport in the Philippines for centuries, from the colonial rule of SpainJapan and the United States, to the establishment of the Philippines in 1946.- Wikepedia

Our Tour was booked through Expedia and the local agency who handled the booking here is Baron Travels

We also opted to be picked up by their service,  at the hotel where we stayed,  to the seaside terminal and back. Kudos to their friendly manong driver Mr.  Oswlad. 

But, what you can do is book directly to Sun Cruise's site.  Although,  online booking at their site is currently under maintenance,  you can directly book your tour by calling them.
