Pangasinan's Hundred Islands

two things
1. there were actually more than a hundred of these beautiful islands
2. the experience here can be as magical and as interesting as the legend that has these small beautiful islets of paradise made by the giants.



i was so excited putting my clothes into my bag despite that it was 12midnight and i just camefrom work. but who wouldn't be? after all, it was going to be my first time to visit the famous hundred islands.

after two hours of packing and six hours travel via the victory liner, i had stepped a foot on the town of alaminos. from the bus terminal, we have hailed a tricycle to get us to the market where we bought some supplies and food, then to the lucap wharf, where we haggled for a tour of the islands and a pick up the next day.

at 10am, i was barely aware of the lucap wharf. my attention was completely taken by the distant sight of the giant green mallows. so tastefully designed while they rested on the depths and stillness of south china sea.
