Not everyone has a luxury of time for a long luxurious
vacation. Some have to plan on a limited budget and take advantage of weekend
breaks to unwind, relax and enjoy. But for us, beach lovers, it is a time for
adventure, to explore and have fun, in a budget of course. This time –
Caramoan. (Lakwatsero.com)
Caramoan is a peninsular town in Camarines Sur consisting of
islands and islets that spread across the Pacific. Some say that the place is
like Coron or El Nido in Palawan and Boracay in Aklan combined. While I agree that
the place reminded me of Coron with its white sand islands and limestone
cliffs, Boracay was out of my sight. It was more like Bucas Grande Islands in
Surigao del Norte and Coron combined.
We also went to the Caramoan church, the Parish Church of
St. Michael the Archangel. This church was put up by the Franciscan
missionaries who wanted to spread the good news in the late 16th century. The
church has a mezzanine where in the public can go to and see the wonderful view
of Caramoan Peninsula, which we were not able to do. Next time, we’ll give it a
try.
