ZAMBALES TRIP
LIFE'S a BEACH and indeed it is... here's my recent getaway trip.. @ ZAMBALES...
LOVE IT!
5 minutes away from resort, you'll reach this haven for relaxation. It's worth the 6-hr bus ride from caloocan -uacon, the sand is so fine, the water is crystal clear, they have wooden chairs and tables there now where you can rest and sleep under the trees. I guess tthey will goin to remodel the place as its becoming famous.
we were the only visitors in the island.. and its like ours.
you need to bring losta of water and food... twas scorching hot! really!
We didn't have much time left, so immediately hike up to the lighthouse. We almost lost, hihi! but later on we realized that its an easy trek.
In search of the lighthouse on the island, we hacked our way out of tall grass, and unmarked trail before finding the right path where the romantic lighthouse proudly stands.
After exploring the surrounding beaches, rocks formation, spanish light house without actually swimming, we boarded the boat for the trip to anawangin
It didn't look like I was in the Philippines with all the pine trees right beside the beach and the green/orange mountains.
It was a long strip of near-white volcanic sand dumped by Mount Pinatubo.
Acc to my research, Anawangin got its name from nuang the Ilocano word for carabao since there is an abundance of it there.
Didnt get a chance to take photos and explore the whole cove and island as it was raining then. tsk! But, il definitely go back there soon!!
Some notes about the trip
- Dont bring too much food before the trip. It will just add up on your baggage, Just buy food at Robinsons supermarket at Victory Mall or on every stop over
- You can eat or buy food at 4 stop over
- Buy your bottled water at any stop over - NECCESITY!
- buy ziplock / plastic for your thinggy
