Super A: Adventure in Oslob and encounter with the gentle giants

Super A conquering the giants

Oslob is one of the towns in the South with pristine waters and one of the homes to 16 great whale sharks or what is locally-known as the "butanding". Last Friday, April 26, Super A conquered Oslob and the gentle giants. 

Sleeping with the frenemies

Oslob is a 3-hour drive (can be 2) but due to my sister's demand who came for vacation, we dashed there (almost) from the airport. The drive to the South, though long, is always a pleasant one. There were 9 of us who went to view the butandings with just me and my sister originally going to swim with them. But when we got there, they were just too gentle to resist for bragging rights so the kids went for them too including Super A.
