After a heavy lunch and a restful siesta, we were up and running again. We filled up two tricycles with our bags, tents, food and firewoods for a night of camping at the coast of Occidental Mindoro’s Amazona beach.

We were running pretty late; having overslept due to lack of one the previous night coupled with the exertions we did trekking to the waterfalls earlier. The beach was about thirty minutes from our friend’s house and the sun was already nearing the horizon once our tricycles went a-bumping along the unmarked rough road to the coast.
