Caramoan: A lush of green mountains and perfect sunrise

The Caramoan peninsula is located in the eastern portion of Camarines Sur in front of Catanduanes.  It is the home of so many islands and islets and scenic view of towering cliffs and a lush green mountains and a perfect sunrise.
Going to Caramoan had been a challenge, and 2 days wasn’t enough to explore the islands.  We went there during those times the Survivor series were being shot in the different islands.  Most islands were being used for the productions, tourist and locals were restricted on some island like the Gota Beach.

We left Calauag, Quezon in the morning where I stayed overnight in Cam’s house.  It was the 2nd time of our Summer Escapade in Quezon – Bicol area.
We travel for 4 hours by bus from Calauag to Naga City.  From the terminal in Naga City, we rode a van to take us to Sabang Port.  We took a boat for almost two hours going to the port of Caramoan Guijalo and traversed the mountain range and the Lagonoy Gulf.

Upon reaching the port, we rode a motorcycle where we asked the driver to take us to a resort but he told us it because it was summer, the resorts were fully booked, so he suggested and bought us to the town where we stayed with the locals and rented a room for an overnight stay. 
It was a long journey, so we went out at night and found a restaurant along the Paniman beach and had our dinner.  We went to and talked to the owner about Caramoan.  After which we stayed outside enjoying the beach until it was almost midnight.
The following morning we were referred to a boat man and toured us in the island.  We were welcome by the perfect sunrise of Caramoan.  The first stopped was Minalahos island.

Just a few kilometres away from Gota Beach, where the crew and staff of Survivor were.  Then we went to  Hunongan Cove.  So we weren't able to explore all due to the time constraint but we promised to go back to Caramoan for a longer stay.
