Romantic Causeways, Film Locations And Hilltop Island Hotels

On Facebook I saw an idyllic, romantic picture of turquoise seas either side of a golden sand causeway where people were walking to an island. The location was in the Philippines. Kalanggaman island.

How do you remember the spellings? The double letters are in the centre, as if ending one word and starting another. I remember Philip pines in the Philippines.

Kalang gaman? No, no space, Kalanggaman. If you prefer, remember, call Kal (KAL, an (AN) interesting, g - g,  (GG) (stammering and can't say gentleman, a man A MAN. The word comes from the word for bird, langgam, in the local Philippine language.

The remote islands have terrific turquoise beaches.

It reminded me of two locations in the UK. In the north, near the Scottish border, is Lindisfarne Island, which was used in the roman Polanski film Cul De Sac. The film starts with escaped robbers racing against the tide to reach the island. If you are driving to Scotland from London, England, consider a side trip. You may have to consider tides if you want to get near enough for a photo or prolonged stay.

If you are looking for a weekend away, a holiday, or a side trip, consider including these. After considerable searching, I managed to track down some key words, causeway and home invasion, and made a shortlist of romantic places to visit.

I did not get on with the confusing official websites. Some supplied statistics and events and others
were random fun photos.
The most orgnaized clear summary of what to do and where to go was wikivoyage which was also on kosher food which I rearely see as everywhere I look in websites for asia I see notes on Halal food and nothing on kosher.
