Potipot Island

#TroveOn at Potipot beach. 7 long hours of roadtrip away from Manila. The trip was all worth it with this beauty. Picture was taken before sunrise. Allowed on this tiny island were camping, and you'll be lucky if they permit you to have bonfires which we did. It was the best weekend ever and not to mention it's full moon that night. :)
