Nagsasa-Anawangin-Capones Day 1 island hopping
The next day, I woke up early to catch the sunrise. Syempre pa gising ako dapat gising din si hubby. Haha
Just so you know, one of my favorite activity kasi is watching the sunrise and sunset if may chance.

The original plan was the boat will pick us up at 9am. However, the boat pala fetch other guests from Nagsasa cove to bring to Capones island kaya they went back for us at 11:30 na. To kill time, we spent our spare time taking lots of pictures.

ANAWANGIN COVE
When we get to Anawangin, we were surprised seeing countless tourists and campers on the island. A bit dissapointing kasi sa dami ng tourist, medyo madumi ang water and maraming basura everywhere.
We arrived in Anawangin Cove at past 12:00. Dito na kami naglunch. We looked for a shade on the inner part of the cove. But we have to pass the knee-high river of Anawangin. Medyo mainit ang water because of the heat of the sun and medyo dirty din. Kaso we have no choice, instead of taking the long way.

After lunch, hubby and I volunteered to look after our stuffs while the rest of the group decided to trek the peak of Anawangin cove and the others go swimming. We did not come along anymore because I cannot bear the heat of the sun. Plus, ang dami ding jelly fishes.
The inner part of the cove has lots of Agoho trees. Wala na masyadong tao because the place that we took for rest is medyo malayo na sa shore. Kaya hubby make kabit our hammock to two of the Agoho trees for me to rest.

CAPONES ISLAND AND LIGHTHOUSE
We left Anawangin at around 2pm and proceeded to Capones island. It is a 30minute ride. We have been looking forward for this side trip to Capones island. Not only because of its clear waters but also because of the famous Capones lighthouse.

The visit to Capones island should be of proper timing because boats can only docked near the shore if its high tide. In our case, the boat parked a little far from the rocky shore because it's low tide. Kaya we have no choice but to swim the chest-high water leaving all our DSLRs in the boat. Good thing we have our waterproof camera with us and we were able to take pictures pa din.

The trail to the lighthouse is somewhat adventure because you will be passing the stone stairs, rocky and slight masukal trail before reaching the lighthouse giving someone a feeling of discovering an old structure in a jungle.
This structure is one of the lighthouses approved by the Spanish colonizers to be built in the Philippine archipelago. After seven years of construction, the Capones island lighthouse began to operate on July 16,1890 but was formally inaugurated on Auguts 1,1890. This structure's light guides the international vessels and ships entering and leaving the ports of Manila and Subic bay.
Since it is crowded inside the lighthouse, we took pictures first outside the lighthouse showing the enchanting panorama of the sea and the sky.
And picture taking inside.
The interior of the lighthouse is deteriorating already but did not stop me from admiring the structure. It is very obvious that they dedicated time in planning the construction of the lighthouse to withstand whatever weather and condition.

Since we cannot swim comfortably because of the rocky shore and the boatmen wants to make bawi, they offered to bring us on the white sand beach in the same island din.

The simplicity of this island without the luxurious amenities makes it breathtakingly beautiful. To maximize the time in this island, the tourist can stay overnight and just simply make arrangements with the boat operators to fetch you the following day. Since there are no facilities in the island, one can just bring tents and enjoy the star gazing all through the night.
