Calaguas - Bagasbas Trip - July 1-3, 2011 Day 1

Companions: Mabs and Gracey

In search for better waves, we ditched LU for Bagasbas. We took Philtranco's 9pm bus to Daet. There we planned to go to Calaguas. Among us three, Gracey is the most excited learning we're going to Calaguas. She's gone there and we told her she'll be our point person for this trip. It's about 6-7 hour bus ride to Daet. Good thing Gracey contacted the boatman to the island.

Obstacles

No tent, no lamp/flashlight, no cookware, no utensils, no beddings

Daet

We immediately went to the market to buy food, charcoal etc. We also created a quick menu for Calaguas. We had breakfast at Jollibee Daet then rode a tricycle to the port.

The boat ride costs Php2000 for the three of us and it took us 2 hrs to reach the place.

Calaguas

This island has a long shoreline with powdery white sand. Water's clear.

We arrived Saturday, 10 in the morning. We put our bags in one of the nipa huts then looked for tent rental.

Our rent for the tent costs Php400/overnight. The tent can accommodate 8 pax. There's another tent for rent costing Php300 which can accommodate 2 pax.

The part of the island we stayed in doesn't have cellular phone signal.

We swam, drink, eat, sleep and meet people.

Evening came, there are fireflies and thousands of stars. We also have bonfire and roasted marshmallows.
