Dawal beach resort - Zambales

April 26-27, 2008 - We had our over night stay @ Dawal Beach Resort in Zamabales. The travel time was a bit long. But it was never boring because we kept each other busy. I only slept on hour and the kwentuhan kept me awake. And there are times that I had time alone with my ipod and moments later we were there already.

We made ourselves comfortable in out A/C rooms and prepared food for dinner. We had grilled liempo (pork), chicken, eggplant and sinigang. I was able to roam around to check the place. They have everything there. From the beach front to the pool area, restaurant and bar.

~ At last, sand on my feet... ~

I had a quick nap before dinner and felt recharged for the night. After dinner we all went for a swim in the pool since it was too dark to go to beach. I got a good exercise because I swam and swam until I'm out of breath. We also did group games and everyone enjoyed. I did not had the chance to take pictures because I was one of the committee and was busy preparing and assisting everyone. I really enjoyed the night.

6AM Wake call - but I woke up at 6:30am. We quickly prepared breakfast and wore our swimming gear for an Island hop to Potipot island.

The boat slowed down once near the shore and look what I saw in the water... it's so clear that I could see the rock formation at the buttom.

The peaceful waves matched the clear waters and the white sands--perfect for swimming. It was still early when we got there which why the shot is not that bright.

~ Perfect weekend getaway ~

We got back to our rooms, got dressed and hit the road to Manila. The travel time was a breeze. It kinda felt good that we're going home. But before that, we stopped by at Xtremely Xpresso Cafe' in Subic bay for a Big Ben Pizza. Their pan pizza was huge! And about the same price as the one's we usually order from Pizza Hut and Shakey's but the difference is, you'll know it's freshly baked. I loved that chicken with herbs. It has a kind of twist in it that you'll want to have more.
