We were left wanting more of Nagsasa after our first camping experience there. The beauty of the place really captured our hearts and we definitely miss the place so much. We were given the chance when Lani, a friend, asked us if we want to go to Zambales again because she wants to have a vacation and she’s looking for companions. Of course we didn’t refuse to go with her. It’s our chance to go back to Nagsasa again. Btw she is also accompanied by her friend, Eric.
This time we took the morning trip through Victory Liner at Caloocan station. Good thing traffic was not that heavy and we arrived in San Antonio at around lunch time. We got Mang Johnny again for this trip as our tour guide and this time he really was the one who accompanied us with our trip. Last time it was Mang Nanti who came with us.
We skipped Island hopping for the day and moved it for tomorrow because sun is strikingly hot. We went immediately to Nagsasa where we stayed again and dropped off our belongings. People packed up the place slowly. Good thing we got the corner of the shore and we had the table for us only.

We took a quick dip at the beach that afternoon when my gf noticed something while swimming. She saw a jellyfish. I didn’t believe her at first because we never encountered jellyfishes in our first visit here. We didn’t stay that long in the beach and we got back to our tents. While exploring the place I noticed something silicone-like in the shore. Hmmmm… it was a dead jellyfish! I even joke it as some woman’s silicone popped out without her noticing. Hahaha…

They plagued the shore and the beach which dragged us to swim in the lagoon. Water is warm in the lagoon but is a little dirty when you get farther away to the middle so we only stayed on its shore.
The rest of the afternoon is picture time of course… hehe…
sunset caught up on us
We took our dinner early since we have no light source. We also requested for a bonfire but it withered quickly. While the fire is on I toasted some mallows for our delight.

Good morning Nagsasa!!! We have to pack up early that morning because we have Anawangin and Capones still in our itinerary. So far in my experience, sunrise and sunset in Nagsasa are almost the same.

First was Anawangin cove. Surprisingly the lagoon at Anawangin is flooded opposite to what it was before when we first came here. Anyway, it was more beautiful than before though we had a little difficulty crossing the other side of the lagoon because the bridge connecting them is also dipped in the water.

Off to Capones, this time we promised ourselves that we will get to the top of the lighthouse. And we have indeed. I was a little scared when I got to the top since I felt like I might fall but I hid the feeling once my gf is on top too. Anyway it was wonderful. A 360° view of the island surrounded by South China Sea is just breathtaking.

It’s now time we leave again. We took a bath at Mang Johnny’s place and also had our lunch there. His family was very accommodating. They let us inside their house and treated us like special guests. Btw, their bathroom is very clean and beautiful.
If you would ever visit Zambales and plan to stay either in Anawangin or Nagsasa, do get his services. He’s very nice and accommodating. As for us, we aren’t sure when we will go back to Zambales, maybe someday. But for now, we’re off to try other places.
