Our first stop was Marcos Island. This island has a cave called Imelda Cave where you can jump into the basin. :D At first I was excited to do it but the fear in me made me not to do so. Yeah, I know I'm a loser for not jumping. haha

This was the beach of Marcos Island

This was the view from the top, on other side of the cave

The basin

Second island was Lopez Island. It was here where we had our lunch and pretty much bummed out in the beach.

Preparing for lunch

After bumming out, there was a raft in the middle of the sea where you could see the giant clams and the fishes swimming around. I was actually impressed by the number of fish in here. I didn't expect it to be this much considering that Hundred Islands is a regular tourist destination.

Parrot Fish

Giant clams

Scary swordfish

 Last island was Governor's Island. In here you can have a panoramic view of the "hundred islands" at the Governor's view deck.

It was already sunset when we were done island hopping

The next morning, we left the resort and headed to another bayan in Pangasinan, Dasol.

One of our friends who organized this trip had a family friend in Dasol so he thought of having a side trip there before heading back to Manila. 

We hired a boat for another set of island hopping.

Colibra Island

We found an octopus! but it's still a baby though

The island where Monster Mom did shoot

The Cabacungan Cave

The waves in Cabacungan Cave were pretty intense and you have to know how to swim and handle yourself against the current or else you might smash against the walls of the cave.

My friend doing her jumpshot like it's her last. haha

  After island hopping, our friend told us that there was a nearby spring and he recommended that we visit it.

The heart-shaped spring!

 After cleaning up, we wore our "Stroll for Bohol" shirts, did some phot-ops and headed for Subic.

When it was dinner time, we had a stop over at Subic and ate some humongous tacos.
 

The humongous tacos, good for 2 at Subic

It was around 2AM when we arrived in Manila and it was really tiring but I sure did enjoy the company of the people I was with. It was well worth it :)
