BACK FROM PUERTO GALERA

Going there was a cinch. The pump boat to Sabang cost us P120.00 and it wasn't bumpy at all. I wasn't induced to vomit the potato chips I was binge-ing on, at all. Sabang was more of a diving place... and it got so hard to have me mesmerized by Galera... having been to Boracay just recently....

Anyway, jeepney ride to Puerto Galera (the Muelle area, methinks) cost P10.... and then trike ride to white Beach (finally!) cost P50... and since it wasn't peak season, we got to avail of P800.00-air conditioned rooms at the WHITE BEACH RESORT... i highly recommend the resort since it was clean. Hot water depends on the heat of the sun baking the water pipes... but still, the place was nice. And their food was the best ever... that i've tasted there, I mean. esply the Chicken Condon Bleu.

Peter's Resraurant served un-fresh shrimps... and most of the places there offering kebabs might disappoint since.... their marinate isn't that great (just catsup really). Pork Barbecue at White Beach Resort is still better...

The view was spectacular.... whenever I had a mind to wake up and actually vist the beach. And the water was magnificently blue and calm. But alas, it was cold! Freezing cold. As in, the bathing suit top which I was confident to wear because it didn't showcase my nipples... failed me. The water was just so cold... and something in the seafoam kept stinging my skin... so in the 3 days I was there, I've only really swam for like, 3 hours... cumulatively...

I was also disappointed since I didn't see any of the bigger crabs the local people there were harvesting...

Massage costs P150.00 for an hour...

And the sunsets are just spectacular....

And there's really no nightlife at all... unless you're one of those gangs gathered there to just drink and be merry...

KTVs available only play Korean songs

and by golly, when we were looking for a dancing/disco place... we were led to two Beerhouse type of places requiring P20. entrance and uhm, escorted ladies....

And I will never go on board the M/V Blue Eagle again.... it's one fastcraft I will forever feel unsafe in... the ventilation sucked! I was left with a migraine after because everything was cramped... even the air!

And i'm not sure why i've been quoting the prices.... maybe I will go back there again...

For a weekender, it wasn't bad at all.... and I do need to unwind sometimes...

But heck, take me back to Boracay anytime...

Oh wait, I have yet to visit Samal, Siargao and Palawan pala...
