Caramoan Adventure

Ola Friendships...

Its was another adventure trip for labbubblychica and this time we went to Caramoan, Camarines Sur. It was an adventure as we went island hopping, swimming and even went on a hike. What made this trip special is, I'm with the same gang who went hiking to Mt. Pinatubo. It was a four day trip for us and very thankful to Jojo who organized this trip from the start.

Day One of our wonderful trip......

• we had an early morning flight to Naga and when we arrived, a shuttle van was already waiting to take us to Barangay Sabang, its a jump off point were you need to ride a boat for more than an hour to Caramoan. And guess what, the boat was far from the shore and if you walk towards the boat, you'll surely get wet since the water is above your stomach. So imagine our surprise when a crowd went to us and offered to carry each one of us in their shoulder. We were laughing the whole carrying process because some of the men are somewhat small built and some of us, including me, is in somewhat big built hehehe

• We arrived in Caramoan lunchtime and since we are already hungry, we took first our lunch in one of the carinderia then proceeded to BC Hometel, we're we are booked. The hotel, hmmm more like an inn, is a nice and clean place. The caretaker is also accommodating and helpful

  in giving us tips.

• After changing into our island hopping outfit, we immediately went to our hired boat and started our island adventure. Wow... the islands is so beautiful, the sand are so white and fine, the water are so clear. We get to visit 2 islands. Before going back to our hotel, we bought seafood's in the dock area and let the caretaker cook it for our dinner. Nighttime is serene one since their no nightlife party and we were ok with it, since we are already tired from the adventure.

Day Two....

• We started out early since we have at least 5 more islands to visit and brought a pack lunch for us to munch on the beach. Every island we visit has a divine beauty of its own and we didn’t miss out on exploring it. The last activity we had for the day was a trek to Mt. Caglago with a view of the different island and on top is the giant statue of Mama Mary. And really, it was a long tiring trek going to the top, with I think almost 500 steps. But once your there, it was worth it. The view is really breathtaking and wow is all I can say. Being our last night, we ate at resto and explore the town, hunting to buy some local stuff. Me, I just bought a souvenir shirt.

Day Three

• This was our last day in town and we are scheduled to go back to Naga before lunchtime. So our group just took souvenir picture of the town and visited the St. Michael church. On our way back by boat again, we were able to see Mt. Mayon is a distant.

Caramoan adventure was a great one, it was an eye opener for me to experience how beautiful Philippines is and a more reason why I need to explore my own native land first.

Next Adventure… Naga!
