Meeting place in receiving area of Shopwise Araneta at 3:00am. Joan sent message telling that the van will be delayed by 30 minutes. 4 ang sasakyan na ginamit ( ASA, MDG, ECG and yung free of charge na van courtesy of Joan). Medyo natagalan ng konti ang dating ng sasakyan. Nag-meet sa Shell station sa expressway and then convoy papuntang Subic.
During travel, dahil maaga pa at konti pa ang dumadaan, huminto kami sa gitna ng tulay para makunan ng picture ang view sa SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway). Nakaka-ilang pictures pa lang kami ng padating ang highway patrol car. Sobrang bilis namin na bumalik sa kotse and sila MDG biglang tumalilis. Akala nila hindi sila hahabulin ng patrol car. Since bago, mabait pa ung patrol man. Pinagsabihan lang naman kami na bawal huminto sa expressway. Cyangapala, 20-30 minutes lang from Clark to Subic sa SCTEX.
Nag-breakfast sa Jolibee SBMA. Medyo hindi kabisado ng driver ng van yung loob ng SBMA kaya namali ng pinasukan papuntang jolibee (exit napadaan). Dumating kami sa resort past 8am na yata. Malayo ang Wild Rose beach resort sa shore contrary to the claim by the resort owner that it is only stones throw away. Nagkaka-gulo sa pag-check in dahil ang higpit and sungit ni Lolo (may-ari ng resort). Nagmano pa nga si Jenny pero hindi pa din efffective. Hindi na muna nag-check-in, nakilagay na lang muna ang mga gamit sa isang kwarto then proceed to Anawangin Cove.
We headed off to the beach where our boat was waiting. A boat here going to Anawangin cost around Php 700 going to and fro. A boat can carry 4-5 pax. So off we go on a about 30 minute boat ride to Anawangin. The waves were calm. We passed by the islands Capones and Camara on our right. We were already at the cove mouth and was headed towards the shore. The cove landscape look really amazing. And what I immediately noticed aside from it’s white sand beach are the pine trees! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a beach with pine trees along the shore. The caretaker of the cove said that pine trees started to grow the cove after the Pinatubo eruption.
