Baon namin.
Papunta at pabalik... eto sinakyan namin.


Some batch... galing na ata sila sa Calaguas. Papunta pa lang kami nito.



Ang ganda talaga... promise!

Ewan.. basta biglang kumulimlim ang langit. Nawala ang init sandali ng mag-pose ako for  Bujoy's camera.



Pwede kaya mag gala sa banda dun... wag na lang baka me wild  animals pa noh.
Magdala kayo ng tent - walang pang resorts dito.
