This post is part of our Anawangin adventure. The following day after our camping at the Anawangin cove, we headed to the Capones island. It took us approximately 30 minutes upon reaching the island of Capones. The island is rather barren, hot, and humid, but on the plus side, it offers a magnificent panoramic view of the sea, crystal clear waters, and unique volcanic rock formations which form the whole island.

| Wait a minute... Is this a shoe or a crocodile head? |
 |
| Unique volcanic rock formations. Notice the layerings. |
 |
| Yey! We're approaching the Capones Island beach |
 |
| Good thing I brought my "malong" with me. It just saved my day! |
Upon docking our boats to the island, we were greeted by an enormous vegetation of seaweeds. The beach has rough sand (mostly made out of crushed corals) as compared with Anawangin's which is of off-white color and made out of volcanic sand. Some portions of the beach are of rock base, which is rather slippery.

| Yes we do! |
 |
| Seaweeds are abundant everywhere |

There is a uniquely shaped cave (?) which is made out of huge boulders stacked together perfectly to make a shed. It is situated directly by the beach. The ladies: Audrey, Mina, and April went there and cooled off by the refreshing waves under the shade. While the boys: Me, Nigel, and Iris (?) scoured the other side of the island.

We spent around three hours roaming the island, and enjoyed our lunch of home-cooked adobo under the shade of the boulder cave. We headed back to Brgy. Pundaquit at around 2:00PM.
One striking landmark of the island is the century-old lighthouse, it is situated atop the hill, but unfortunately we ran out of time. We tried to visit the lighthouse via boat by going on the other side of the island, but the waves weren't friendly enough. Either way, we will be conquering it on our next visit.

| Bye for now, Capones. See you soon! |
