I'm back after a 3-day adventure in the islands of Carles. We climbed a mountain, explored a cave, and hopped from one island to another (literally, hopped, waded and walked from Isla Gigante to Bulobadiang island, possible only on low tide).
I'm just sketchy in this post, couldn't write much although my mind is full to the brim with the experiences and the blue and green scenery because every muscle in my body still aches, a few scratches are still smart, and some skin irritations/insect bites still itch (couldn't stop scratching actually! I'm still looking for that bottle of Caladryll!)
Next post, I will detail the adventure. Read about the waters, mountains, islands and more islands - a feast for the eye during the 2-hour motor boat ride to Isla de Higante, our first stop. Sleeping in a hammock. Rock climbing 101. Rapelling down a cave. Spelunking. Swimming on deep waters with life vest on! ;-) Surviving in an island without electricity and fresh water! Without electricity, I could survive but without fresh water?!
Of course, we're all urbanites we still couldn't give up some lifestyle so we couldn't help but add a lighter side to our seemingly survivor series adventure - Climbing a rocky mountain to search for cellphone signals, and - scouring the island and surrounding islands in search for Mountain Dew! Really thirst quenching! In an island on a hot summer day? Your throat waits for its first drop!
Adventure is not spelled ADVENTure without some death-defying, I'm-glad-I'm-still-alive life changing moments!
Don't miss the more than "I-tripped-on-a-Yamashita-gold-excavation-trace" and the "hang-on-don't-let-go-of-the-rope" terrifying experiences!
All these and a lot more on next post!
