Zambales Day 2: A Paradise within your Reach

We left the resort around 8:30AM to start our island hopping. Three islands were planned to be visited but for some reasons, the boatmen decided not to pursue going to Nagsasa. Instead, we went straight ahead to Capones Island.

Capones Island has a lot of big, not just big but HUGE rocks! Rock formation there is somehow similar to that of Palawan. But ofcourse nothing beats the sand in Palawan for me! According to Google, it has a lighthouse, but we weren’t able to visit it that time because we didn’t stay that long in the island. Actually only me and BF decided to roam around the beach and went farther. When we came back, they were already going back to the boat and just waiting for us to come back.

Afterwards, we headed to Anawangin Island. Actually I was really excited going there since I heard a lot of good things about Anawangin. On our way, the view reminds me of New Zealand (although I haven’t been there! hahahha)

We arrived at Anawangin I think it was 10AM. The sand was also fine, but not that fine like Boracay or Palawan. Since it December, there were less tourist and campers. But still, the sun’s heat is tolerable and the sea is calling us to take a dip! Woot woot!

i hope someday we will have a little angel like this

We took our packed lunch there and stayed until 2PM. If you don’t have food with you, there’s a store in the island that sells food and drinks. Due to laziness, we didn’t climb the mountain there that can have an overlooking of the whole anawangin island. We just swam and swam and relaxed.

We’re back in the hotel before 3PM. Since it is still early, we slept for a while but woke up in time for the sunset.

Dinner time came and upon ordering, the waiter told us that it’s the owner’s daughter birthday. So everyone, from the employees to the guests was invited for a free dinner. At first we were hesitant, but since it’s free and the owner already invited us personally, we went and enjoyed the night with the owners and other guests.

Again, I don’t have any pictures of the dinner. I just enjoyed the food and I was really amazed of the hospitality and kindness of the owner, especially the love for his only child. FYI, the owners were both Filipinos. How did they got rich? Some say they won the lottery. Lucky? I guess they’re blessed.

After dinner, since it’s our last night, we had a drinking session. BF’s father loves to drink beer! But I didn’t drunk, actually I haven’t been drinking for a long time and my stomach is not familiar with beers or alcohol anymore. Since I was not drinking, I just told BF and family that I’ll be sleeping already to get ready for Day 3. hahaha
