My Sweet Escape 3: Peaceful Camara Island (Cont. Zambales and Beyond)
Note: First of all, thank you for reading my other travel experience, My Sweet escape 2: Zambales and beyond. Now, here is the continuation.
And then, an unexpected event happened. The boat we were riding suddenly stopped. We are in the middle of the sea between the Camara Island and the mainland Zambales. We are far away from the mainland nor from the island. Then the waves started striking on us. The boat is bobbing as if it is going to turn upside down. One minute, two minutes, five minutes , the boat engine is still not working.
OH no my fear is about to happen.......
.•:¨¨:•. .•:¨¨:•..•:¨¨:•. .•:¨¨:•..•:¨¨:•. .•:¨¨:•..•:¨¨:•. .•:¨¨:•.Our boat started wiggling in the middle of the sea. Then one of our boat guides came up from the water after inspecting the boat engine. It was a piece of plastic that was stuck in the boat turbine that made it stop. Luckily my fear of a boat accident didn't happen. Whew!
As we go on our ride, my friend told me to shout to release all my tension. Honestly, it was a great relief. So we head on to our first stop, Camara Island.

This island is inhabited. The vegetation is poor since it is mostly made of rocks and sand. But its beauty is so raw. The sand is yellowish with small rocks blended on it. It is so small and I suspect that it may almost submerge during high tide or a storm. There are few plants growing in the rocky hills of the island.
The place is so quiet that you can only hear the moving of the waves. There a lot of rock formations everywhere. You are not that free to roam around. These rocks were supposed to be products of volcanoes erupting from under the sea. In fact, the whole island itself is produced from volcanic eruptions from under the water.
During our drop at Camara Island the wave is so strong. So we have to enter a small hole in the rocks to pass through the other part of the island, the wider portion since our boat dock on the other side of the place. Anyway, the pass-through was quite a challenge especially for me :) But I made it Hurray!!!
Well, so what will a millennial do is such quite picturesque place...of course selfies. Honestly, it was my dream to become a model haha. Obviously, it was just a dream haha. I just don't have the courage to pursue it. But through social media, I feel I am a model already wahahahaha!!!
I am thankful to one of my friends, who is also a Steemian, @erniebagamasbad who became my talent manager and instructor during my pictorial at the Camara Island ( just give me this one please, haha!).
After an hour of selfies, I mean exploration, we went on to our next destination, the beautiful Capones Island.
Kindly tune in to my next blog for the continuation of this travel blog. Thank you Steemians. Hope you enjoy my article
