Part 1 Part 2 of the series here.

Day 3 – From Olongapo, we traveled to the Town of San Narciso in Zabales at the Crystal Beach for Surfing 101 lessons. Since it’s amihan season, the wave in Zambales are not that big, but during Hbagat time, expect a much wilder ride.

After the surfing lessons, we then headed straight to Capones Vista Resort to check in then proceeded to the famed Capones island where the 17th century Spanish light house known as Faro de Punta Capones. A short hike is needed to reach o the top of the lighthouse. And one you get to the top. You have the 360 degrees of unobstructed vied of mainland Zambales. What a beautiful sight!

After descending from the lighthouse, we went back straight to the resort to freshen up and be prepared for one of a kind dinner.

Our last activity for the day was dinner at Casa San Miguel. Highlight of our inner was the welcome presentation done by the Pundaquit Virtuosi. The Pundaquit Virtuosi has its own interesting story to tell. They were just kids living in Barangay San Miguel and was trained by Violinist Coke Bolipata. Today the kids are more thn just ringing entertainment to the guests. They are bringing much pride to the provice as its ambassadors of goodwill.

Day 1 of the series

Day 2 – We woke up early in the monrning. After our heavy breakfast we then headed towards the town of Gerona in Tarlac to visit the JSJ Goat Farm. This is my first time to visit a goat farm and I am really excited! During the trip we got to experience how to milk a goat. It was indeed a fun experience. JSJ Goat Farms currently has 900 goats and sheeps, and produced 70 liters of milk daily. Aside from fresh milk they also make cheeses like kesong puti, chevre, and feta.

From the goat farm we then travelled to Subic in Zambales. Our first stop was at the waterspots adventure courtesy of Networx Jetsports atthe Lighthouse Marina Resort in Subic. I got to try the Banana boat. It was fun. I’m just so glad i didn’t fell off the ride.

From the Lighthouse we headed towards Camayan Beach reasort for our lunch, then wet straight to Ocean Adventure for sea turtle, and shark feeding session. It was so fun! The Olive Ridley sea turtles acording to our guide were either rescued or turned over to Ocean Adventure .The kids would surely have so much fun with this kind of experience.
