Pulong Pasig, Calauag Quezon

Temptation Island pose with Ate Nicole

Since Calauag is our nearby town in the province, and where the famous Pulong Pasig is, we never let ourselves be the last to visit it.

The sandbar is really long, however, there are people who really give a damn care to the place. They left an empty pack of chips on the sandbar! Ughh! There are people wants to visit a super nice place but can manage leave the place clean.

The island has no restroom and fresh water for you to wash, so if you plan to stay there overnight, prepare yourself to sleep without washing your body. Just bring a lot of wipes so you could at least feel fresh.

We went there in grouped so we saved a lot with our boat fee. Here is the list of our expenses:

Gas - 1,600 (unleaded, one way) Cubao - Calauag
Toll - (one way) SLEX - 214
       - (one way) Star - 25 + 53
Boat - 5,000 (two way, good for 20 pax)

How to get to Calauag, Quezon
By bus, take a DLTB going to Daet, fare is P375, then alight in Calauag. Take a tricycle going to the "C" where you can take a boat going to Pangahoy. From Pangahoy, ask a local who can take you to Pulong Pasig. Boat from Pangahoy to Pulong Pasig usually range to Php500.

Local Tour is Fun: Rediscover Manila and Quezon City

Rizal Park

 Meet Gat. Jose Rizal: "He is our national hero," were her words upon telling her that it is the monument of Jose Rizal. It was just so annoying to see a building beside the monument so I just find an angle where it can't be seen :).

Calesa ride in Luneta

Our first calesa ride :) Yes, at this age, it is my first time to ride the calesa. It was fun but at the same time there is something in my heart that's hurting, hindi ba animal cruelty yun? Thou hindi naman sya pinapalo ni Kuyang Kutsero. If so, kindly forgive us, for the sake of experience lang po.

Chinese Garden

 After meeting Gat. Jose Rizal, we entered the Chinese Garden, it has a P10 entrance fee but kids are free, not sure until what age. We didn't stayed there for a long time, crowded sya ng mga dating very young couples.

Quezon City Memorial Circle Underpass

Before heading home, we stopped at Quezon City Memorial Circle to have dinner.

It was a tiring day but we had fun.

Fortunate to Conquer Fortune Island

Fortune Island, Nasugbu Batangas

This little girl always make her Mommy proud.

Striked a pose at Fortune Island, this little girl is as cowboy as her mom :). Absence of a well-maintained restroom is not a problem, just find a place where digging of at least 6inches hole is possible and walah!! Haha!

Fortune Island is such a nice place, however, if you are the type of person na very particular sa restroom, I do not advise you to stay overnight here. Other than lack of a nice restroom, the place is very nice. The water is very clear, wag lang sana abused by leaving your trash sa island. Nobody else will clean it but the visitors.
