Bicol Express: Caramoan adventures

Before the summer ends, JC and Gracey travelled some 600 kilometers down to the Bicol region for our "huling hirit sa tag-init."

The pictures would have to speak for themselves about the beauty that mother nature has.


Caramoan was our destination -- words are not enough to describe the beauty of the islands we visited during our island hopping tour. Matukad island is the best among them, with its fine white sand and the famous lagoon above the rocks/mountain within the island. We braved the sharp and pointed rocks and climbed all the way up to see the lagoon.

The second island we visited is Lahus Island, also known as Bitchara Island named after Filipino dancer Maribeth Bitchara. According to our tour guide, the dancer's family rented the island some time before and built some structures there for their accommodation. Unfortunately, some corals in the water were destroyed that time.
