They say that into every life some rain must fall...and it did on our way to Caramoan. After a choppy 2-hour boat ride, a rainy and overcast Guijalo Port greeted us when we finally arrived. An unforeseen weather in the middle of summer, it was a bit uncomfortable but it was also preparing us for the good times to come. We accepted it as a blessing, and it didn't dampen our spirits---after all, it took us almost 18 hours to get here. We were determined to enjoy our vacation! Our boatman assured us there would sunshine the next morning---and true enough, a luscious dawn and a golden sunrise welcomed us when we woke up.

this is actually the kind of weather that I truly love.
ReplyDeletei enjoyed reading your text.
Beautiful picture and double beautiful story! My husband and I always say that the journey (no matter what) should be part of the adventure! Thank you for sharing your photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, no need for a sunscreen...truly a beautiful sight and a place I'd wanna be. btw, I like your blog color.
ReplyDeleteA misty day has its charm as long as it doesn't stay. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful, and glad you had a day of sunshine to follow.

ReplyDeleteWhat it that tall pole by the rocks?
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, lovely attitude! Hope you had a great trip.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a really nice place to come to shore, even in the rain.
ReplyDeleteWhatever you felt that day, I just want to say that "gloomy" is not a word that I can use for your photos. I love them! The place looks wonderfully misty and quite romantic. Glad that the sun decided to come out the next day though. What's a beach trip without the sun? :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a favorite kind of day near water for me...the foggy surroundings the sounds...nothing better. Great pics.
ReplyDeleteMy day's post is all about turtles. The release of 110+ baby turtles into the Gulf! With pictures galore. DIRECT LINK

ReplyDeleteHappy Vacation! What a lovely place. I think the rain was probably worth it.
ReplyDeleteThere's a certain beauty in the fog and an inviting mysterious feel, too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an island paradise.
Mysterious place... like Godzilla's back when she is diving...
ReplyDeleteSometimes we have to remember that rain is natures friend as well as the sun. Great Shot.
ReplyDeleteas much as i want summer sunny shots, gloomy shots comes close to it. i like misty, foggy shots like these.
ReplyDeleteI guess i would nog mind the weather as long as I could vacation by the water. Anyway, its nice to have a gloomy day now and then.
ReplyDeleteNice place.
For me, this is not gloomy at all. It has a dreamy and surreal feel which I love. It's truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe had a gloomy day way over here today also. But your photo's still look pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great attitude to the weather, a blessing indeed. Your photos are lovely, glad the sun shone for you the next day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and hope your week is going well.

Your pictures certainly show a gloomy port, but I'm glad to learn that the weather dramatically improved the next day.
