Albaguen

The passer-by told us we were trespassing

The weather cleared up today. I finally made the trip to Albaguen with Daniel.

We first made a stop at Blue Cove, which turned out to be not as strikingly scenic as the tourist brochure described. Besides, we could not get too close as it was now privately owned by a resort. So we went back to the shallow area between Exotic and Albaguen, where the water was crystal clear and the seabed white and sandy. I swam there to my heart's content.

Then we headed for Albaguen. We arrived at the small fishing village on Albaguen with an empty gasoline tank and two hungry stomachs. So we roamed the village in search of food for the boat and for ourselves. Daniel found gasoline and I found one papaya, some bananas and two fish: one was bisugu and the other was taladigan.

We took our trophies and drove the boat to a quiet little beach away from the village. Daniel built a fire to grill the fish, while I cut a coconut in half to use as bowls for the rice. We had a delicious picnic. After cleaning up, we found a shaded place and lied down on the beach to take a nap.

Just when we were ready to leave the place, a passer-by told us the little beach was private property and we were trespassing! Well, well, no problem. We have had our picnic and nap. It was time to move on anyway...
