"Island Hopping- Capones Zambales"
Hey readcash fam! As I have mentioned in my previous post, my officemates and I have been planning to hit the beach, lol! As agreed we were settled to visit Anawangin Cove at Zambales. Google maps says it was just 3hours and 32 minutes away from our meeting place, yet the actual travel was not. We started travelling at 1 AM yet we arrived in Pundaquit Zambales almost 5AM. From the parking area we still need to travel an hour via small motorized boat. We actually rented a van for a less hassle ride as it was hard to catch the bus's trip.
Since we are still waiting for some of our companions, I decided to collect the money for our food. I suggested we include food in our package as you know me, I am not fond of cooking. Yet they all disagreed and suggested we will cook instead. My task was to accumulate a budget. Hehe easy pie. Three of my companions, Ms. A, Ms. I and Mr. M were tasked to do the food shopping at the wet market. Oh forgot to tell you, Ms. A was my Boss ( Executive Officer for Finance department) and I have the decency to ask her? Hahaha, she is just a cool Boss. Besides she knows what will happen if I will be the one to do the job instead.
It was already 8AM when we were fetched by the boat man along with some things needed for our trip such as, tent, kitchen utensils, water, etc.
The sea may look calm behind me but believe me it's NOT. As I wrote in my article yesterday, I experienced the longest boat ride in my life as we experienced some trouble when we were literally in the middle of the sea. I had some videos but sadly I could not upload them here.
We were supposed to settle first in the resort, eat our breakfast and set up our tent but the Manong ( boat man) informed us that we will proceed to island hopping at Capones. He added that the waves' current was too strong. Island hopping was supposed to be the next day based on our itinerary. That leaves us no choice as we can't take the risk against nature.
Since there was a sudden change of our itinerary, I am not prepared. My outfit I mean, lol! I was still wearing a maong shorts! The clear water was so inviting! I badly wanted to take a dip. So I took my bag, got my rashguard and would you believe me if I told you I changed behind that big rock? haha. Who needs a room when nature can help?
I was trying to have a decent picture as indeed the place was so instragramable yet as you can see the waves won't let me. I tried several times but it was hard to win! Hahaha, I was always dragged, resulting in some scratches on my knee and legs.
Instead I just decided to have a jump shot. Haha I was supposed to attach our group photo but I didn't want to invade others' privacy so it was only my picture. Hahaha.
Capones island is a beautiful place, it is worth a visit. Yet if you are planning to take a dip here for ladies better wear a rashguard or secured swimwear. Or else you might experience a wardrobe malfunction due to strong current of water. See my attached video above. Glad I didn't wear my tube top swimwear as for sure I would regret it!
We only stayed here for less than an hour just enough to take some photos and have a dip. After that we proceed to Anawangin cove. Which I think I will be writing about in the next few days. I just took a few photos here as I take videos which I wish I can attach here.
So I will end my article here as I am still tired. I didn't take a leave after that so I haven't rested well. I can't as my Boss was the first one to file. It slips in my mind so I don't have a choice but to report at work. Besides, I still have a lot of pending tasks which I am hoping I can accomplish by Friday. HOPE SO!
Also please pardon me if I haven't visited your articles since the weekend. I just got busy in the outside world, LOL!
