Hundred Islands

How is it that I was born in Pangasinan and not visit this place? My whole family has been here, but where was I? Anyway, it’s definitely on top of my “43places” list when I go back to Philippines after so many years.

The Hundred Islands national park is beautiful, but I swear, go there during the off-peak season. The islands look like floating rocks scattered on top of shallow water. The tiny little beaches that welcome you on several islands are of fine yellow sand. Camp out, jump off a cliff, explore the tiny forests… it’s all worth the experience.

How can I get here? This place looks so mystical and beautiful. I definately must go.

I’ve been here with my churchmates one summer a few years back. I loved the whole place! The best way to hop from island to island is to sit on the edge of the motor boat and try to spot large boulders and fishes under the sea as you speed by. You can only imagine how deep the water is but you can see it is really deep for the water’s already turquoise. Blah, blah, blah!
