Day 2
I woke up early to catch the sunrise. I am a
sunrise-sunset person. I don’t know, but I really felt connected to the
universe when I watch them. I always feel a deeper appreciation of life as I
watch them unfold. I’m weird that way. So I took my early morning walk at the
beach while waiting for the sun to rise.

We had our driver/tour guide fetch us early, around 6:00 am. My tour mates we’re leaving that afternoon and will try to catch the 2:00 pm ferry bound to Dumaguete that’s why.
Our first stop was the century-old balete tree. I really didn’t see it as creepy. In fact, I find it pretty. :)

fish spa: fail! |
There are so many fishes in the pond there that we attempted for a “fish spa”. But they didn’t seem to like it. Haha! They totally ignored our feet. When we feed them some crushed biscuits, they went gaga over it.

Then we passed by the Lazi Church and Convent. We decided to just go back after visiting the falls hoping that the mass will end after we’re done swimming. We went straight ahead to Cambugahay Falls. Seeing the dark blue green water from the stairs made us very excited so we hurried up on our way down to the falls.
It was beautiful. We were so happy to be her first visitors for the day. The falls was all ours! Woohoo! We took so many photos before giving in to the call of the falls. I had no photos in the waterfalls, my waterproof camera is still broken. Sob sob :(
We went back to the Church and Convent. Still, we were not able to enter the church and check it out because we were wearing shorts err and there was an on-going mass.
After this, we didn’t go to Cang Isok’s or the oldest house in Siquijor anymore. My companions were pressed for time and that’s fine with me. I saw it in photos and it doesn’t interest me that much anyway. We dropped them off to Larena Pier and wished them well. As for me, I went back to San Juan. We dropped by at San Juan Church for a top-view of the Capilay Spring Park.

Then we went down to the park itself. I did not take a dip anymore because it looked dirty. I’m not really maarte (sensitive). It was just really dirty (I mean literally, there are floating trashes in the water). According to Kuya Pampi (our driver), there had been a party last night and it seemed like nobody did the cleaning afterwards. I felt really sad about it. Sigh.
That was my last stop for the day. After a refreshing hot-shower and an early dinner, I once again lazed around the beach.
I waited for the sunset and for the stars to come out one by one while listening to the sound of crashing waves. That’s what I call a sweet life. Mi dolce vita.
Beach Rating: ♥♥♥
