My Trip To Palaui Island

This will be my first time going to North eastern most part of the Luzon and it happened to be in Palaui, Sta. AnaCagayan. We departed in Quezon Ave. at 5:PM on April 5, 2012 and we stop to have our dinner in Nueva Ecija, and after dinner we travel again. We arrived in Santiago, Isabela at 1Am in the morning. We took some rest and went to McDonald for a coffee break and of course I cannot forget my french fries. We arrived at St. Vincent port at around 6:45, We bought some mineral water because they said there's no store in the island. There are 2 boats waiting for us who will bring us to Palaui Island resort. I think we arrived at the resort where we stayed in Palaui at quater to eight if I'm not mistaken. Finally after a long trip, we were able to breath and relax a bit because after an hour or so we prepared for island hopping.
Our first destination for island hopping was Cape Engaño and while we are on the boat going to the island I was so mesmerized with the beauty of the island with its white beaches, coves, and scenic terrain surrounded by not so huge waves. We did our first trekking to Cape Engaño, an 18th century lighthouse built by the Spaniards, and when we arrived at the top, All I could exclaimed was WOW... I was so tired and almost breathless going up there, lol I'm not exaggerating but it was sooooo hot going up there, but I never regret. It was heaven when you are up there. One of our companion Olive said that the island seen from above is like in Batanes, well I believed her since I never been to Batanes yet. The island is shape by the opposing force of South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean and it was an indescribable beauty.
After Cape Engaño lighthouse, we eat our lunch at the beach and after lunch we immediately went to the water and swam. After 30 minutes we went out of the water because they already called us. Again we trekked for 15mins going to the hidden falls, but we didn't stay long because there are so many people.
We again travelled to the sea by boat and I didn't know long we because I fall asleep on the boat, French our companion she woke me up when we arrived at our destination. Again, we trekked to another hidden falls and the stones going up to the falls are steep and slippery and sad to say I accidentally slipped from the falls. whoaaa, but I'm glad there were no sharps stones.
After the second hidden falls our last destination was the crocodile island but sad to say we were not able to swim because it was high tide. We have no choice but just to take pictures and after that we went back to the resort.
