Punta de UiAN I

A medical resident gets 2 weeks of leave in a year. The travel bug in me is struggling to leave the Sampaloc area and was planning to go anywhere far from the crowded city. I've been hearing about Anawangin for quite awhile. White sand beach, pine trees and sea turtles. A couple of websites showed pictures of Anawangin and nearby islands.



This I have to see. Now I have no qualms about traveling by bus, had several incidents even. I had slept in the forest floor of pamulaklakin trail with nothing but a sleeping bag. I went to Bicol by bus with my backpack and managed to get to Gota beach by public transportation.I planned to follow the trail of akyatbundokgang with fairly specific instructions which I checked out and validated. All was set until my brother found out and wanted to join. Then my mom learned from my brother, as well as my sister and her family. Now this would be a logistical nightmare. I can't bring my mom and my nephews camping. There is no accomodation, electricity, food and potable water at Anawangin Cove.
Murphy's Law: If anything can go wrong it probably will.
I can't risk it. But when they saw the pictures of Anawangin and the nearby islands, I saw my mom's excitement. I resolved to find a way to bring them to Anawangin Cove safely.

Luckily I had an uncle working in Subic. He must know a place where we can stay near Anawangin. We hit a jackpot. Not only does he know a place. He works there!
