Malcapuya Island

Remember the other day when we spend our afternoon in CYC island? One of the boatman has sale talkED us into renting them privately for a day. And thinking that it'll be cheaper, we agreed on it for today's itinerary. And we thought we bagged a good deal, we're wrong. Ha-ha at us! it was the standard rate for renting boats privately.

We had a scare at first while waiting to leave. The other boatmen were talking about not so good weather for today and that some of the scheduled tours were cancelled earlier because of the cloudy sights and threatening rain. I don't know, I was not bothered a bit maybe because I trust our boatman to say it himself if it wasn't safe to push through. Judge it yourself, see photo below.

It was a little unsettling at first when we left but then once we left off for more than an hour of boat ride to Malcapuya island. For me it was a fun ride, not sure with Ate Heidi and Ralei though.We arrived there wet from the ride and with a bit clear sky. Finally! The sun is starting to show up.

Can't wait to dip in. We walked our way to the shore pretty much excitedly. By the way, this island requires an entrance fee of 200 pesos. Totally cheap for a beauty like this I must say.

We checked out the available cottages and open spaces with less people. We chose to stay at the far end of the island and settled our things.

Still pretty cloudy but the threat of rain has long gone. And we are enjoying a warm morning. 

I did try to read. I did! But again, the view is so distracting I can't concentrate. =P

And it's the beer again. We did enjoy our first day in CYC island, you know....

The struggle for the decent photo again..

It's so lovely I want to stay longer.. I really wish this is my reality and not just the break from reality.

Feeling friendly with a beer induced confidence, we struck up a conversation with an older American woman walking by the shore with a curious look. She saw this thing and was a little freaked out with it wondering what it was and if it is safe for people to swim with it floating all over the water. Well, we tried to search for an answer and the care taker nearby answered that it was some eggs of a jellyfish. So we came back running to the other woman with an answer. It was hilarious running back and forth and just that.

Once more, back to our temporary haven..

After hours under the sun.... tada! new layers of sunburns! XD

It was past the allotted time we agreed on staying when we decided to explore more of the long shore.

jumpshot

badly burnt >.<

*gasps*

Successful attempt on a decent group picture. props for Ate Heidz! =)

the end of our Bumming Day... *tipsy and toasted* 

It was an awesome day though we were only able to see one island far from our initial plan of visiting Banana and Malaroyroy island as well. We drank, ate, napped, swam, walked and talked all day by the shore evident with our sunburns. Hope we won't be killing each other back at the guesthouse when we start bumping to each of our sore spots! XD

All in all, Malcapuya is totally worth the long and rough boat ride. People should see this beauty. I was really taken by it I wanted to stayyy...

Off for now and will be crying my heart out because tomorrow is our last day. No more beach-ing, only a quick look through town and shopping for few things/souvenir before going home.

Ciao~ with lalalalaloooove! ♥A
