Finally, Anawangin!

Ok! I did not spend much. :) Yahoo! Went to Anawangin this weekend... and everything is worth the effort. So our first stop was Capones. The hiking part was challenging, but once you reached the top, you would just shrug off the "pagod". :) Bad enough though that I did not notice any sign of historical information about the lighthouse...the lighthouse gave me this old-spanish-colonial-building-feel... :) After Capones, Anawangin was our last destination. We looked for a "people-free" place. Hehehe! Nahh, just kidding... We found a place where we could install our tents... and that place is just infront of the beach. And we were the only people who set our tents there. Most of them chose to be near the poso. Hehe! We were adopted by the caretakers -- meaning, we paid for our space, the use of facilities (poso and CR), and they made sure that we're safe since we're all girls - the manang even slept near us just to make sure we're safe. The next day, we went to the lake to just have some photoshoot. Of course we saw the "pine" trees... nahhh they're Agoho trees... pine trees do not thrive in places near the beach or lowland areas. :) Off we went to Camara Island. Well, the island is like a magnified japanese garden because of the rocks. :) The sea weeds were ticklish and I hate them... every time they touched me it felt like some creepy crawling reptiles touching me (no offense meant...)! I had a chance to "rock" climb a portion of the island! Yihee... the part was a bit wet and rocky but hey it was a "high"... :) The manong bangkeros picked us up at around 12. Our last stop was Pundaquit where we went to take a dip in the Pundaquit falls. Yehey! Robin, our tour guide, was such a smart kid... he took our photos while we were "cooling" ourselves. And that was game over after Pundaquit. I mean, back to the noisy and polluted civilization.
