The night tour begins with a sunset viewing at 5:30 pm. Our guide was so enthusiastic that he taught us how to pose creatively for sunset shots. Unfortunately, none of my shots were good enough to share. Nyahaha. Lovely sunset. Lovely colors.

I tagged along Beth and her friend. They are touring the Philippines. Since April 9 was declared a holiday ( Araw ng Kagitingan ), tourists were expected to flock Corregidor. We opted for an overnight stay for April 7-8, 2010. That’s two days worth of leaves for me.
