Discover Guimaras: Windmills of San Lorenzo and Gateway to Negros Island

Finny and I decided to go backpack travelling to Kanlaon City where I have an aunt who lives there. She is always in charge of doing research on which places we should go to. Since we both have free time and enough money to go on a trip, here's our first stop, the windmills of San Lorenzo, Guimras.

Finny lives in Iloilo City so she made a trip to Guimaras first by going to Ortiz wharf to ride a boat which costs 14 pesos per person. Then she rode a jeepney to Alibjon from Jordan wharf which costs 13 pesos. Then we met up at Mang Tinapay which is near the parking area for Paos jeepney, the jeepney which will bring us to Cabano to ride a boat to Negros. The fare cost 40 pesos each. If you are in a hurry you could hire a motorbike to bring you there which will I guess cost you about 100 - 120 pesos. 

The windmills are scattered in Cabano area. We first secured a ticket to Negros by registering our names in the log and since we still had free time, we roamed around. 

This one was taken atop a hill last December. I came here with my brothers.

This is how it was to travel from Guimaras to Negros. I think there are still other areas along the coast facing Negros island which offers daily trips to Pulupandan. The fare cost us 70 pesos each. 

Once we arrived Pulupandan, there is no proper wharf, just like in Guimaras, the boat was docked in the shore. You still have to ride a tricycle to this point worth 10 pesos each. This is the place were you get to ride public vehicles to Bacolod or Bago or even to Canlaon City.
