This beautiful lighthouse is on the north end of Capul Island off the coast of Samar.



capul-samar-049.jpgWe camped on the grass on the point and were treated to a great sunset and a beautiful view of Mt. Mayon.

capul-samar-042.jpgCapul Island is a peaceful place but it's strategic location made it an important defensive position during times of way.
capul-samar-053.jpgWe enjoyed camping on the grassy knoll at the point. It is so nice to lie back and watch the stars while fruit bats zip back and forth.
capul-samar-039.jpgWow!

img_1000.jpgIt takes a bit of work to get down to the southern tip of Palawan and then down to Balabac Island.

It's so cool to look out across the Balabac Straits towards Borneo.
