I arrived at phoenix around 5am and as expected some of my co-rider isn't there yet or I'm just too early.
by the time carlo arrived we're almost complete and actually i didn't know half of them because i'm just a new member as a RoadBreakerz. Carlo (aka berto) standing as our president, gladly introduced me to some of the members i didn't know yet. Before we took off, we checked first if there's enough gas for each of us and then we left our designated meeting place at 6.30 AM and headed out. While we are on our way to calayo, one of our members had a problem, so we stop by somewhere in naic and waited for the others.

Before we arrived here at calayo we bought first some liquor and some chicha for later happenings.We arrived at calayo before noon all sweaty at irritated because of the heat. Later, we found a place where we can place our tents.

The hospitality in these place is so great, they even helped us find our place for our tents and they cooked us our meals (you can pay them in any price for cooking). If you don't have any tents, you can rent their nipa house or rent a kubo room in a very affordable price. You can find some tindahan near the beach if you want something.

Afternoon..

We gathered in our kubo and started our inuman sessions. We didn't rented any videoke but the caretaker said that we can rent the half of the time of the videoke left in the other kubo. After some shots, i decided to go first and explore the beach. I heard that you can find a small cave in here so i went searching for it. People said here that you can rent a bangka for 1000 pesos if you want to explore some of the nearest islands. They said that, Before you can see some stranded whales in here. Whales go here because of the plankton's (their food). After exploring the cove, I went back to join them for a swim.

not so hidden cave

Night in here is too fascinating because of the stars. They prepared the bonfire that held in front of the beach. I was too tired and went  back to my tent and took a nap, Sadly i slept over the fun and  woke up in the morning.

Morning..
after eating our breakfast we stayed for a while for some chitchats and then headed back to our own tents. Some of us started packing up and some are taking a bath already. Before we took off we had a short meeting prayer for this successful ride.
