When my sister came home for a vacation last May of this
year, she treats the family for island hopping adventure. Me, my husband, my
daughter, my niece, my nephew, my two cousins and my two more sisters together
with Issa, my sisters boyfriend from Jordan, had a Caramoan adventure.
From CWC(Camarines Sur Water Sports Complex), we rented a
van going to Sabang port. We left the said perimeter at 5:30 in the morning
and it takes about 1 and half hour to reach the port. The boat that will
take us to the Caramoan island is limited. It was summer that time and
there's a lot of tourist already waiting for their turn to ride the boat. Fortunately, we are already on the list of
the upcoming boat.
From Sabang port, it takes two more hours of boat ride to reach
Caramoan Island. We arrived at the island port at around 10 in the morning, a
jeepney was waiting for us. The jeepney brought us to the inn where my we are going to stay
There are two rooms reserved for us, after we ate are meals and rested for awhile, the island hopping began.
The same jeepney brought us to another port where two
smaller boats are waiting for us. (I already forgot the names of the island,
but I will describe it in the best possible way)
The first island was really beautiful, with its blue water
and white sand. We spend some time here, the children and the girls swim for a bit while the guys climb to see the lagoon. We take pictures as many as we can and swim in the
salty water as much as we can. No matter how long we wanted to stay, we have to
move on, there are still more islands to visit.
We didn't stay long at the second island.. It was too hot and less shield. We just stayed for few minutes, just enough to take pictures
and swim for a little bit. We keep on running because our bare feet cannot take the
heat of the sand.
it was in the third island where we stayed for hours. We
ate are lunch and spend half of the afternoon swimming. My two years old
daughter, refuses to step on the sand, maybe it feels creepy under her feet. We
take pictures and swim until we are tired of it. I remember putting a life vest
to my daughter and we swim at the middle of the water. She was singing her
heart out, with the tune of her favorite cartoon, Pororo. She was so happy
until she had to step on the white sand again.
In the fourth island, some of us didn't get down from the boat. It was a small island with cave and tall rocks. We just waited for the rest to take some
pictures. We passed the Gota Island, where the survivor shows took place. It
was really a nice island, too bad, it was forbidden that time. So we all just
have to stare at it.
The fifth island was packed with a lot of people. Maybe, that
was the last stop of every tourist. The difference is the island has a gray sand. My daughter was
so happy with the it, she spend the entire time, swimming .The sun was about to set when we left
the island. It took us about 15minutes to reach the port.
We are all tired when we reached the inn, some of us slept
earlier than the usual. The other stayed up till dawn.
We have to wake up before eight in the morning so not to miss the
boat or else, we will stay there until the next morning.
And that ends our Caramoan adventure. We forgot to purchase
a shirt but it doesn't matter, the memory will last a good time.
It was wonderful adventure, a moment to cherish. Not
everyone can afford such an expensive tour, thanks to my sister for treating us
this. Another experience I enjoyed another story to share.
