zambales: potipot sunset

after lunch and short nap, we headed out once again to invade another island and this time orly was sure that we're going to land there. finally, we were able to do so.

next invasion, potipot island


going to this island would need to hire a small banca for a 5-minute travel. if you're a triathlon athlete, you might swim this in thirty minutes. :D the cost of the rent of banca is around php300-400 on a two-way basis (we haggled it to 300) and at your own discretion on when will you go back to the mainland. since we don't have the gear for camping, we told them to pick us up after the sunset.

our rations. can't beat the real thing


after landing, we walked to the other side of the island wherein there were rocks and old fallen trees. it was a perfect place for the sunset shoot. while waiting for the right moment, we walked around, experimented, rested and snapped some shots.

monkeying around


when the skies are turning orange, we went on different directions and made our own "stuffs" like living in our own worlds.

real deal. the sunset


this was one of the best moments of the trek i have experienced. it gave me peace of mind thru the warmth of the skies and the calmness of the seas. after were done, we headed back home for tomorrow's itinerary of little spelunking and mountain trekking.

I still need to confirm the dates.
Tell me if you are interested in one of those events. Not sure I will be able to attend them all.

I am quite interested in the Horse Race in Pasay City. Alas my car is color coding and will need to ask my wife if she can drive me in her car ;-)
