Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary
The last stop of our island hopping activity is paying homage to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary (also known as the Mother of Peace) located at Mount Caglago in Brgy. Tabgon, Caramoan. This is the biggest Marian image at 26 feet. In order to reach the grotto, tourists need to climb a flight of 500+ steps. 




We were able to talk to the caretaker, and we learned that the original statue was constructed in 1989, and was completed in 1990. Unfortunately, a super typhoon destroyed it, and it was even struck by lightning. It was fully restored in 2008.

The original Marian image which was destroyed by the typhoon and lightning.


St. Michael the Archangel Parish Church
On our last day, we passed by the church in the morning before heading to Guijalo port because of our plan to have lunch at the Camsur Watersports Complex before our afternoon flight back to Manila. 

The church was founded by the Franciscan missionaries in 1619. The red brick church has a large courtyard.


Again, upon reaching Sabang port, we anticipated the locals to carry us towards dry land.



Camsur Watersports Complex
The sun was just too much for us when we arrived in Naga that instead of trying out the facilities and activities at Camsur Watersports Complex, we decided to just have lunch there,take some photos, and just generally inspect the area. Besides, we only had a couple of hours to spare, so I really hope to be back there to spend a night, maybe. They have a free shuttle that bought us to the airport, and we are so pleased with that.
