Part 1: Caramoan! Philippine's Secret Paradise



I wanted an adventure in the great wide somewhere, somewhere far far away.. and so it was given. 
We have discovered Philippines' secret paradise!

Caramoan wasn't really a major tourism destination until word got around that the French version of the TV series Survivor was shot in one of the islands. One can take the 1-hour plane or the 8-hour bus ride to get to Naga City. Upon arrival, we had to embark on a good one hour and a half ride to Sabang port. Since it was low tide and the boat had difficulty docking at the port, the porters had to carry not only the baggage but also the passengers to keep us from getting wet.

Part 2: Caramoan! Philippine's Secret Paradise

OODMORNING CARAMOAN and a happy happy 1 year anniversary to us:) 




We didn't really like the idea of staying 30 minutes away from the beach so we transferred to La Playa where we got a beachfront place. This is exactly what we want. The La Aplaya rooms are really affordable, as we were able to get an overnight stay for only Php1,000 for a single fan room (believe me, you wouldn't need an air-conditioned room here).
