Corregidor: Travel Back in Time

Years ago my Family went to Corregidor and i wasnt able to go with them since my dad didnt allowed me.  Im glad this time it pushed throught:) such a historical journey we took a boat c/o Sun Cruises just like going on to a voyage it took us more than an hour before we get to the shores of corregidor giving me time for my nap:)

Upon arrival to the island we were welcomed by trams that will bring us to all the wonderful places in the island. I like how the trams look like an old bus but just opened on both sides so it would be easier for people to get off. It even has bells to signal the passengers:)

First stop was the Malinta Tunnel. This tunnel served as the basecamp and inside you could see the events that happened back in history during the war. Experience them with the lights and voices show inside the tunnel.

Before we had our lunch we passed by Mc Arthur's statue which stood on the same spot where he said the words " I shall Return". We also passed by the Ruins of the Barracks by the married soldiers & bachelor soldiers.

 Still I am as usuall amazed with the big guns. I mean it weighs tons and bullets are almost half my height so i dont know how they all manage to fire them back then. I really wonder how they move it cheers to the soldiers who manned those guns and their super strength so here are my photos with the big guns!

Even if the heat was getting prickly i still managed to get a few shots at the light house that served as a watchtower to those planes arriving and departing the island. Some tourist managed to go up but i didnt because i was scared plus its hot so just went around the souvineir shops int he area.

Next stop was the Pacific War Memorial & Museum. I went first to the museum that housed a memorabilla of the gifts and items used during the war era. The bills used and even the guns used in battle. There you can see the uniform of the generals and some of the bullets used in the canyons. Outside the museum is a big map of corregidor that looks like they say a tadpole but sometimes i see a different figure:))

The memorial too has a dome which has a hole in the middle of the dome to allow light to enter. I forgot what the tourguide told me but the light entering the dome signifies something. They also got the structure of Eternal flame that is offered to those who died in war.

Well i would definitely go to corregidor especially when im taking history subjects cause its really like a review back in time.For me i got so amazed with the guns and how they structured the barracks for all the soldiers.Oh and im also Glad we are with some Filipino Artists on board:)
