Cape Engaño Lighthouse Views

Alrightie folks! I said in the previous post I'll show you my views while at the lighthouse area on top of that hill, right?! I'll include views from 'along the way'. So, here we go:

My view from somewhere halfway into the climb! [click each pic to enlarge]
A lot of tourists also climbing the hill! And the makeshift "fence" starts appearing!


My able and well informed guide Mr. Isabelo Gagote, Jr. Call him "Jun" daw, para bagets!
Can you see the boats where the beach curves? That is where I came from lang naman. And we were just halfway up the hill. Notice the "very sturdy" makeshift fence made of tree branches hehe! Notice too, that's a deep ravine behind Manong Jun and that "fence"!

The other side of the hill. to the left (not in photo) are the 'Dos Hermanas Islands"


There they are! The "two sisters" (Dos Hermanas)
Coming from Anguib, my boat passed there (in between this hill where the lighthouse stands and that first island) going leftwards, encircling towards Siwangag Cove where we docked.

Here, were were near the top, he points that I came far from that direction (Anguib)
And behind him (not in photo) are the Dos Hermanas Islands.

Finally reached the destination! [click the pictures to enlarge]
  


So I learned, that this was not just one, but a group of buildings


I like this last pic, accidentally capturing body parts of lovers seated on window ruins.


Okay, so, that's it on the Cape Engaño Lighthouse!

I do have pics on the way down...

Like this amidst the shrubs approaching ground level (pero malayo pa 'to ha?)


And this, nearing the Exit / Jump-off area where tourguide says goodbye to you...


And one last look... at the hill that ate all my strength and stamina haha!
This as we headed back to mainland dahil gutom na gutom na gutom na ako!

My next story is a tour around Sta. Ana, Cagayan town proper. C ya!

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Balantak Falls

Image
I haven't heard about this waterfall until I was already moments away from being there! And I have no regrets whatsoever. Ah, sometimes, beautiful surprises do happen to my itchy feet. Sometimes haha! For me who had seen many a waterfall, this one would seem nothing to shout to the world about. But being there was mesmerizingly refreshing enough. How tall is it? I'm not sure, but see my habal-habal driver on lower ground and compare his height to that of the waterfall. You should get a hint, at least! Discovering Balantak Falls How I found-out about Balantak Falls ! I was in Brgy. Guirang (pronounced gi-rung) in Basey Samar, for another round of "work-related work"! While walking-around by the entrance to the barangay's main residential area, I happened to see this: A fairly new hut and open on all sides, so I asked them what it is. They said it's a waiting shed. I asked further 'who would wait here' since I knew there are no commuter jeeps in t

THE Ride from Tuguegarao to Sta. Ana

Image
Alrightee folks! I traveled from Tuguegarao to the northern-most town of Cagayan Valley, that is, Sta. Ana. And, Oh My Gee! I never expected this "mode" of transportation! It was a van, yes. The type and style that we call "UV Express" all over the country. But not the usual that I have seen, even in the more remote areas of the Visayas and Mindanao. This ride was on a piece of "flying junk" hahaha! It started like this... the night before I check-out at Hotel Roma, I asked the friendly front desk staff if there was a better way to go to Sta. Ana. than riding the bus. The very helpful suggestion was, I ride the vans instead of the bus, because, they are purportedly faster and more comfortable. Okay, I thought I would do just that. Staff even told me to remind them during check-out that I'm taking a UV Express commute to Sta. Ana. I did just that. The eager staff went out with me to front of the hotel. He hailed a trike for me and gave instructions t
