I was finally able to go to Putipot Island last Aug21. It was a long weekend in honor of Ninoy's Death. Bucky, Eric, Melissa, and I decided to celebrate it in Putipot. As if.
The only bad thing was the weather. It was rainy & gloomy. But even that didn't stop us. Eric wanted to get out of the city also (but that's another story).
We left Manila at 11pm and arrived at Candelaria, Zambales at around 3am. We checked in at Dawal Beach Resort (0919-5730952. For other resorts, click Zambales resorts), slept till 8am and headed for the island around 9am.
Putipot is a very small island. You can walk the whole shoreline in less than 30 minutes. We took it for more than 30 minutes, stopping to photograph anything: fallen tree trunks, coconut trees, rocks, flowers, bugs, what-have-you using my new water+ shockproof Olympus SW720. The trip to Putipot was its debut. I could only pray that it was indeed waterproof. Thank God, it was.
Our lunch was cold & greasy grilled liempo, chicken adobo, eggs, softdrinks, and beer. Da best. Kahit ma-sebo. The rain kept interrupting our meal. We had to stop when it rains kasi nagkakasabaw ang pagkain. However, the rain did not stop us from enjoying the greasy meal. Si Melissa ang pinaka-huling natapos. Buuurp.
At about 3pm, the bangkero arrived to pick us up. Our visit was short, and a little uneventful, but I had a great time. "Uneventful" in a beach was what i needed.
If i could just go to Putipot every weekend...
