Anawangin

The Student Athlete along with South Spiral, went to on Anawangin on May 3-4, 2008. As usual, we all met at Carla’s house.

Victory Liner Sampaloc last trip to Zambales was fully-booked so we decided to go to Victory Liner Caloocan to take a bus.

When we came at the Caloocan terminal of Victory Liner, the last trip to Zambales was also fully-booked. Depressed to continue our Zambales vacation, we ended up as a chance passenger. Thing is, we stood the whole four (4) hour ride.

Finally, we arrived at San Antonio Zambales.

We pimped ourselves for a few minutes while arranging the boat ride to Anawangin. We talked to Mang floring on how much it will be for the two-way boat trip. Before six (6), we were loading into the boat.

The boat ride to Anawangin was about 20 minutes.

Anawangin Cove is relatively a virgin destination. There are no cottages and/or rooms out there. So upon arrival to Anawangin, we readily setup our tents.

Now, the three (3) tents stood.

Yes, this are the restrooms. They are quite cute, actually.

Of course, the beach.

We walked along the shoreline, at one point we decided to take a sit and took some pictures.

There’s no lunch yet. Good thing Audrey brought A Mr. Choi Kitchen fish skins. Those are yummy skins, I tell you.

After eating our lunch, we walked around more..

.. and found a pond.

Some people at Anawangin are really troublesome, they just leave their trash behind just like that.

Quite some more walk and excited to the idea of hiking, we hiked the mountain beside Anawangin. Anawangin Cove is surrounded by mountains.

From the top, we can see the whole Anawangin. The site was a beauty.

After taking some pictures, we returned back.

At Anawangin, life is pretty much primitive. Foods are cooked the ancient way.

The day would not end without celebration. And by celebration, we had our “inuman”. I’m not really much of a drinker, though.

The drinking session was interupted by a short drizzle. When it stopped, we continued to have a chat and drink some more. After then, we slept. The morning after, we ate noodles and packed-up. Bidding Anawangin farewell.

While on riding the boat, the formation of clouds in the sky was so beautiful.

so was this shot.

Saw this at Pandaquit.

Back at San Antonio, we took a Victory bus to Olongapo to have our lunch.

Summer won’t be complete without a taste of Halo-Halo.

After five (5) hours, we are at Manila again. We were planning to go to TriNoMa but it was not pushed through.

I love to go back to Anawangin.
