              Here's a link to Victory Liner's website, schedule and fares Victory Liner         
05:20h - ETA Alaminos station
05:25h - Took tricycle to Maxime by The Sea Lodge and Restaurant, Barangay Lucap.
              Though we made reservation days ahead, unfortunately our room was occupied. The only available room cost bit higher than what we booked, we said no. Since we are planning do Island hopping that same day, we asked them to just keep our things instead. They were nice enough to understand where we are coming from.
06:00h - Breakfast and dawn watching. We had tocino and longganisa (must try).

                 There a lot of Island to choose from:
                      
                         Governor's Island - the highest vantage point of Hundred Island and where PBB house is.

                         Quezon Island - White sand beach for swimming
                         Children Island - Low tide beach, perfect for whom else? To children
                         Turtle Island - Turtle shape island

                      
                        We were a bit disappointed with the place. There are garbages and moss    scattered everywhere. If all visitor will care and maintain the area, it could have been better.
