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!

Trapped In Oras, Eastern Samar

Image
Oras is a pacific-facing town up the northern portion of Eastern Samar. This town's name is not pronounced like the Tagalog word for time. No, not like that! It is [o'ras] where the stress is in the second syllable. The speed and tone is like how you say the English words "alight", "chorale", "amass" or "awash". Okay, that's good enough, I know you got it! Uu da, oke na da it! Asya it! Yesterday, I was in the area checking on some work-related matters. Stayed overnight in this town as I haven't yet heard if accommodation facilities are available in San Policarpo or Arteche (these are the 3 northern-most towns of Eastern Samar). This morning, I was on my way to other nearby places, but.. I got trapped (happily) by a parade! That long white bridge behind them is the only way out south... A youngish set of town officials, I must say. Oh, the girl in the middle is not a muse. She is THE Mayor! But by the looks of it, she migh...

Hinatuan, A Quick Visit

Image
Happy (and thankful) to have seen the center of this town, even if I did not at all dream of being in the place yet! I only wanted to see Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River which I thought were both in Bislig ! Only to find out that Enchanted River is even farther away than Hinatuan, from Bislig or Tinuy-an Falls! This place is out of the way if you come from anywhere in Bislig to the Enchanted River or vice-versa! So, how did I find myself here? Nag-detour? Well, I would like to think of this as some kind of a gift! An addition to my itinerary (at no extra cost), for lack of anything else to do and/or any place else to see! Why? Because we were moving too fast from place to place, because: I did not stay long at Tinuy-an Falls or Enchanted River.., because: there were just too many visitors that I did not enjoy it any longer! Whose fault? Mine! Lesson learned: DO NOT VISIT SURIGAO DEL SUR ON A HOLY WEEK! So.., because we were already done with Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted Ri...

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...
