group picture before leaving
By 8am, sunday morning. we are off to lighthouse at capones island by boat. It's windy and the ocean is wavy. After a boat ride that seems like forever (30-45mins), we reached the island, yay! the catch is, the boat can't dock to the shore because of the huge rocks, we have no choice but to swim off to the shore which is approximately 30 ft. (not really sure). Anyhow at the sight of the stairs to the lighthouse, suddenly i opt to stay at the boat, it's like I acquired a fear of stairs (if there is any), my legs are painful, on the other hand I dont want to be left alone in the boat, so i change for my swim wear, we all changed in the boat, thanks to the sarong sheng gave me, very useful.
It wasn't easy to reach the shore because of the huge waves and rocks, even in you can swim it wont help, the wave comes every 5 seconds.

The lighthouse is situated on top of the hill. It was abandoned, i dont know how long and i dont know why it has been abandoned, lol, obviously i havent done my research.
this is the spiral stairs to the lighthouse, it was rusty and shaky, i wasn't able to make it to the top, i was overcome by my fear of height.
while waiting for them, i took some pictures, with doors and windows as my subject.
we stayed there for like 30 mins and head back to civilization, we still have a ride to catch back to manila.
thanks to these guys who are on the rescue, its like catch me, im falling, or catch me, i'm clumsy
Indeed, it was quite an adventure, no signal, no internet, painful but fun, meeting new people, learning and discovering something new. I would probably want to experience the same. xoxo.

Mitch, inggit ako, i don't want to go mountain climbing, but trying yourself at lighthouses is fun, i love the view from the top, i can go there should there be someone i can be with, isn't the lighthouse haunted? some lighthouses carry haunted stories kasi...

Forget the internet, that was more fun and fulfilling!
Wow, what a wonderful adventure. I've never been on top of a lighthouse before. My fear of heights might be a problem. I love the photo of the spiral stairs. The view from the top must be breathtaking.
