This is a post long overdue. The story about our island hopping in the province of Quezon.
Day 1 at Dampalitan Island:
May 28, 2011, we packed our things and pushed through with our camping trip despite the pitiful weather condition. It's not like were not minding it but the forecast seem unstable and that made our minds. This was an island hopping adventure with lots of fun as we anticipated it, but what we had was an adventure and not much of a fun.
look at the sky that day
When we reached the seashore, the boat which will take us to the first island was not there. According to our contacts, it transported some tourist to another island but couldn't go back quickly because of the big waves. Needless to say, we have to wait for the boat to arrive and for the waves to settle.
After almost 2 hours in waiting, the boat finally did arrived. Sigh of relief for us and we immediately loaded our stuffs and off we go to the first Island called Dampalitan at around 4:00 in the afternoon. We pinched the tent and cooked our food. Cause we came from a night shift before that, all of us were sleepless and tired so after eating my dinner I decided to take a rest before hanging out with the gang. But my anticipated few minutes of sleep lasted till midnight and I did awake with the sound of raindrops falling on my tent. The rain gets harder and harder and the water started to kill my tent, so I decided to move out and leave my camping bag in the middle to save it from getting wet. I sacrificed for the sake of my camping bag and the result for me was an aching body due to cold raindrops.
We thought it wouldn't last long but it did. Thank God one of the local folks there offered us one of their nipa huts where we can stay for the night and wait till morning so we can fix our things and our camp. Well, that's how it goes for the first day. We're tired, wet and sleepless.
to be continued........
sorry for the picture quality, I was sooooo tired
That was indeed an adventure.

ReplyDeleteParang exciting tong island hopping ninyo at talagang kahit na ang panahon ay d maganda tuloy parin..adventure talaga. Gusto ko din ang mga ganyang adventure sa Island kahit na d ako marunong lumangoy.. at takot ako sa ibat ibang hayop nameron sa Island ito man ay nasa cluster ng critically endangered specie, endangered,threatened or vulnerable..ewan ko ba kung bakit. takot din ako sa mga engkanto at mga nono sa punso cguro ito ay dahil sa kapapanood ko ng mga movies na pag nasa Island maraming hinde magandang mangyayari..hehee

ReplyDeleteThis is why I hate to go camping. Bad weather always hits and makes a mess of things. I prefer to camp at hotels with room service.

ReplyDeleteGnetch Really. An adventure for a lifetime.
ReplyDeletePearl That's okay. alam ko busy ka sa school. Ako din naman tamad din ako lately. Ewan ko ba sumabay pa yung kabisihan sa work kaya ayun wala nang time.
kasi naka-set na siya and yung food nabili na. We watched out for the weather eh di naman sure yung forecast kaya go na kami. Ako din takot sa mga creatures pero ine-enjoy ko lang kasi once for a lifetime lang yung opportunity. Mahirap kasi makahanap ng adventurous friends. Hehe. Pero I assure you, masaya talaga siya especially pag summer and kapag malapit na ang Christmas season.
May next target kami, wanna join? Pero yung adventure na yan was in Padre Burgos Quezon.
I miss you too. Sana nga hindi ka busy then para tatlo tayo. For sure, we'll have a lot of fun. Punta ka din Bohol? Wow, gusto ko din dun pero next time siguro...hinay-hinay lang kasi magastos din.
Love you Pearl and thank you so much!
