A Piece of History...in a Beautiful Island


Middle Side Barracks

West Entrance of the Malinta Tunnel

Japanese Memorial Garden




We went to Corregidor Island last June 14-15, 2008. We just decided to go hit the road and go some place that we have not yet visited before. Our friends Ganie and Ais gamely accompanied us. We really enjoyed the trip....the sights....the experience....the pieces of history....and the friendly and accommodating people of Corregidor.









Japanese Memorial Garden, Corregidor Island







Eternal Flame of Freedom





North Dock, Corregidor Island

We truly had a lot of firsts in Corregidor. We had the chance to enjoy the sunset at Battery Ramsey, explore the lateral tunnels of Malinta Tunnel...oh yes...at night, including the 1,000 bed hospital near the north entrance of the tunnel complex, amazed by the sunrise at the eternal flame of freedom, explore a japanese tunnel, climb atop the spanish lighthouse, and of course....the first hand experience of the ghosts of the Island.

More pics to come...
