Anawangin Weekend

I would definitely be back in this very nice cove off the coast of Pundaquit, Zambales. It's really a perfect weekend getaway if you prefer to leave the hustle and bustle of the city! I had a good fun with close CS friends and met new ones as well. So since this is quite a short break, I'll try and run down the itinerary and costs in one!

From the coast where we catch a boat to Anawangin

Very nice view going to Anawangin

Campers start to pitch their tents

I'm a happy camper

One characteristic I find so unique is the presence of the pine trees. This is also my first time to camp out. I felt like I wanna buy my own tent! I so wanna go back or perhaps hop to other islands nearby - Nagsasa and Potipot.

Since this is a CS activity, the itinerary has been set by our very good organisers! Expenses all-in at 1700 PHP which includes: Bus from Manila to Pundaquit (vice versa), Food, entrance fees, tricycle and other miscellaneous.

3AM - I went to meet other CS'ers near Farmers. I met up earlier with Charlie because I didn't want to go alone. We head to Victory Liner in Caloocan

4AM - People started to get ready for boarding the bus

5AM - Bus departed and we're off to Zambales

8AM - Arrive in Zambales and took a tricycle ride to catch the boat
