My friend invited me to come and visit their place in Leyte.
Leyte is a province in the Philippines located in the Eastern Visayas region, occupying the northern three-quarters of Leyte Island. Its capital is the city of Tacloban. Leyte is situated west of Samar Island, north of Southern Leyte and south of Biliran. To the west of Leyte across the Camotes Sea is the province of Cebu.

The historical name of the Philippines, "Las Islas Felipenas", named by Spanish explorer Ruy López de Villalobos in honor of Prince Philip of Spain, used to refer to the islands of Leyte and Samar only, until it was adopted to refer to the entire archipelago.[4]

Leyte is also known as the site of the largest naval battle in modern history, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which took place during the Second World War.

Since I haven't been visited that place, so I decided to come with my husband and my office mate. We stayed at their house for two days and one night.
We arrived there early in the morning around 7 am. We took a little rest, and in the afternoon Beverly took us in the place called "Paradise Island". It was indeed a paradise for me. Here are some of our pictures.

We were very luck that time because we were the only guest. :)

It's a very nice place quite and secluded. So if you want a quite and relaxing place come and visit the paradise island in Leyte.

See you at my Day 2 Leyte adventure, in my next blog.
