the hundred islands' adventure...

after 2 weeks of planning - budgeting expenses, hotel booking, pursuading others to join us, debating if we will rent a car or just hop in a bus - 4 of us (office buddies) had a roadtrip to hundred islands last weekend!

The bus ride to alaminos was fun enough and full of giggles and whispers (apat na makukulit ba naman ang nagsama sama!). We left manila at 12midnight of friday and arrived at alaminos at 4am, an hour earlier of our ETA. We stayed for an hour at a "gotohan"and ate breakfast.

It was still dark when we arrived at Lucap wharf @ 5:45 am. i can feel the excitement building up despite the cold weather. boat ride to the islands starts at 6am so we stayed in the vicinity for a while and bought food for lunch.

sunrise @ Lucap wharf...simply spectacular!

God's magnificent islands as seen at the view deck of Governor's island

it took us 20 minutes to reach Governor's island, our first stop! Guess what we did?! pose, smile & lots of picture taking! then we went up (127 steps daw!) to the island's view deck. It was my 1st time to be there and the view is really overwhelming. we went island hopping and snorkling (sort of...ang lamig sobra!)

we stayed at old scout island and enjoyed the sun and the white sand. It was so relaxing sleeping there having the chirping of the birds and sounds of the waves as my lullabies plus the cool sea breeze!

It seemed like i was in a different world, a world free from anxiety and stress and a place closer to God's embrace!
