Day 1
Jill and I left the valley at exactly 5am. I think we only had 4 hours of sleep since we closed the lights at 1am (she slept over so we can leave early). We stopped by at Walgreens to buy a film for the waterpro camera that Jill bought. Jill took 2 rolls of film but the cashier told us it would be cheaper if we get the 4rolls set... And yeah, it is $2 cheaper. that's weird =P
We arrived at 6ish and we waited for the rest of the guys since they met at Tins' place. We checked-in, labeled all our things so it wont get lost, and took a lot of pictures..
BOAT RIDE: with Ollie and Jill
It's an hour ride to the island. We all stayed infront of the boat. The breeze is cool and the water is calm but I got seasick in the middle of the boat ride so I asked Jill if we can go inside and sit. When we docked, we formed a human chain to unload the baggage. It's cool coz everyone participated. The ranger briefed us on the DOs and DONTs.. damn, there's no electricity, no bathroom and we can't take anything from the island or else we'll be fined.
We got a camp site at the lower ground and we setup our tents. Jill and I has never experienced camping before so this is really exciting for us. Jun later on helped us setup our tent. =P As soon as we got everything setup, we went to the shore for kayaking (pictures will be posted soon... c/o Jill) TAKE NOTE: We havn't had our lunch yet.

The cave
Ollie gave us a quick instruction on how to use the paddle then we wore our wet suits and life vest and off we went kayaking... It was soo much FUN!!! It wasn't that hard but you really have to have stamina.. I don't exercise and I don't workout (I'm too lazy) so I know my body will sore after this..(and it did.. damn!) When the wind got stronger and the waves got bigger, we decided to head back to the shore.
We snorkeled, looked for interesting water creature but we didn't find any, not even a starfish.. We went back to the campsite, took a quick shower (using a camp shower) then rest. I really need that rest... I heard Ollie and Jun looking for the red cooler where our LUNCH is stored. Oh, I was craving for Adobo pa naman.. We thought somebody else took it (but we later on discovered that we left at John's pick-up when we returned to Channel Island - hihihi) We ate hotdog with egg instead but it's all good! Tin and Ollie cooked for us. Thanks!
HIKING: Mahangin ba sa labas??? (from Rejoice commercial)
At 6ish, we trecked to check the sunset.. They say it's very romantic.. and it is =) We went back to the campsite and slept at 9pm.
