Guisi Lighthouse and Ruins in Guimaras

I first learned about Guisi Ruins and Lighthouse from Marc of Explore Iloilo. Since then I keep of bugging him to include this in our itinerary when I get to Guimaras. And finally, Last April 27, 2008, it was my first time to set foot in Guisi Lighthouse and Ruins in Barangay Dolores, in the town of Nueva Valencia, Guimaras.

The April 26-27 trip was supposed to be reserved for the Silay-Talisay Tour, Panaad Festival in Bacolod and the Yagyag Festival in Sibulan Oriental Negros. But changes happened, so I have to scrap my trip to Sibulan and replace with with an island hopping escapade in Guimaras.
