Our First stop was to check-in at Crystal Beach Resort in San Narciso Zambales. We arrived around 10 am, quite late from our intended schedule.
Just upon entering Crystal Beach, it's chill and stress-free atmosphere make you want to bum out all day.

| Crystal Beach Resort- Timothy tree house |
We stayed at Timothy tree house. It was Airconditioned, good for 4 people at 1,990. No private Cr. Buffet breakfast is included. Timothy tree is built with low ceiling, I won't recommend this for tall people:)
We had our lunch At King Solomon's Hall.

| Pundaquit |
Then around 1pm, we headed our way to Pundaquit, where the bangka is waiting for our Island hopping.

| Capones Island |
Our side trip was the Capones Island. Capones Island or "Isla de Gran Capon" during the spanish era is a 2-kilometer long boned shaped island surrounded by white sand and rocky shores.

| Capones Island |
We just spend a short time on the island just by lazing on the shore. The scorching afternoon glare of the sun made it impossible for us to take a dip.

The rest of the group took a rest under the huge rock while enjoying the view, while we take turns for our over excited jump shot.

We head our way to our next destination, Anawangin. There were massive waves which rocked our boat which made our ride so scary and bumpy. It took us around 30-minutes to reach the beautiful Anawangin Cove.

| Anawangin |
The beauty of nature never fails to amaze me. I can say that Zambales was blessed with untouched forest and mountain ranges and beautiful beaches.

Anawangin view was breathtaking, beach surrounded with Pine trees and crystal clear water.

Here you will experience a basic living with no electricity and no mobile signals. It is the perfect getaway.

| Sunset |
As we cruise back to Pundaquit, the sunset was amazing.
A colorful scene right above the horizon that glows and can be seen from far away yellow blue orange all mixed together.
Beautiful scene as we watched the world goes by.
We drop by the market to buy stuff for our dinner. We cooked our own dinner at Crystal Beach, and spend most of the time at the sea shore talking about everything under the moon up until midnight.

| morning at Crystal Beach |
We were welcomed with a great morning. Had some exercise, before having our buffet breakfast. The rest of the time was intended for chillax, swimming and picture taking.
Zambales is a perfet getaway.
I fell in love with Anawangin's serenity,
the crystal clear water of Capones Island and
watching as time goes by in Crystal Beach.
I will surely go back to this place.
