THIS WEEK'S THEME: EMPTY

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

This used to be where Fantasy Elephant Club was in the late 90's. My family and I had a chance to stay in this island for three days and we absolutely had a grand time. This is located in Marinduque Province, Philippines. To get there, we had to take a plane, then a car up to the shore then a motorized banca to the island. It's a pity that this island is now empty. The owners had to close it due to numerous reports haunting the place.

    What a gorgeous island. Too bad they had to close it down. I can see why your family enjoyed it while visiting. Have a great weekend.

    Oh that looks heavenly...You must post more about the hauntings that led to closing this island. Very interesting...

    Great photo for today's theme.

    Take care,

    Beautiful! We have a lot of haunted islands here in Malaysia as well... People seem to be quite superstitious in this area of the world :)

    Waht a beautiful island, and such a pity it's no longer used.

    Thanks for visiting :)

    i wonder how much a hunted island would cost ;) it would be great to own it.

    That must have been a wonderful vacation. Someone should build another hotel and advertise to American tourist agencies that the place is haunted. There are a lot of hotels here making a fortune by advertising that they have ghosts. But you knew Americans were weird, didn't you. My "empty" is up, too.

    An empty island? That's a shame :(

    What a fabulous looking retreat! Yes, Americans would flock to that Island in a heartbeat! Thanks for visiting my photo today

    Wow, an empty island. And it looks gorgeous.

    Cool: I have so many questions! Why Fantasy Elephant for the name of a club? What were the hauntings about? Hauntings might keep a place OPEN here! That's a neat post!

    Aww too bad that it's empty now. Looks like a wonderful place to go. Great choice for The Hunt.

    It is beautiful and such a shame that it closed. Great view. Wonderful picture for the theme.

     

  • At 3/25/2007 12:34 PM, Blogger Unknown

    Wow, what a waste to let it go unused.

     

  • At 3/25/2007 5:54 PM, Blogger LibertyBelle

    What a great twist on the theme! On the other hand, it might just be a refuge for birds and other wildlife.
    Great photo!
    Thanks for dropping by.
    Happy Weekend
