This is the gate from Kilyawan Resort to the beach. Doesn’t that water look inviting?

682 – Pink boat
Still posting sketches done in Laiya- this was done at the end of the beach near the jetty. The coconut trees really did seem to have pink trunks!

681 – Jetty
At the end of the beach near Kilyawan, in Laiya someone has built a jetty at the end of which is a little gazebo and a table and chairs – what a lovely spot that would be to have your breakfast!

680 – Bahay Kubo
A Bahay Kubo or Nipa Hut is a indigenous Philippines house usually on stilts and made of bamboo and thatch. This is the most basic accommodation provided at the Kilyawan Resort – downstairs is a dining area and up the ladder is a small room with a bed on two levels – enough space for 3. It was comfortable and cool at night, but the whole structure shakes as you go up the ladder – it certainly wouldn’t remain standing in a typhoon.

679 – Disconnect to reconnect
Just as you head to the beach at the Kilyawan Resort, there are some “Beach Rules” – such as “Wake up smiling”, “Meditate Appreciate” and “Be Grateful for Today”. A little corny but well meaning and worth following if you are there to get away from it all.

678 – Gazebo
What more could you ask for on a weekend holiday, than a hammock in a shady spot and a beautiful view of the sea? The Kilyawan Resort has two of these – perfect for lazing around, reading and snoozing.

677 – Kilyawan Shower
This is the first of a batch of sketches done during a short Easter holiday on the coast in Laiya, Batangas. The Kilyawan Resort is partly painted bright yellow and the shared shower is the post next to the blue barrels.
