41/81 Puerto Galera Just spent my 41st province on a weekend in Puerto Galera!!!  Finally, this place is like that song "so near, yet so far".. You know what I mean?! 😋😂  I have known Puerto Galera as a favorite place of our gay friends and frequently visited by Koreans. So when I first started travelling, I thought well.. Let us just leave this place to them...  But since I completing my #81ProvincesPH, I am compelled to visit. 😜 Puerto Galera is in Mindoro Oriental.  Then after being here I realized, yeah, this place is worth visiting! We didn't snorkel, island hop nor toured around. But the highlight of our trip is the walk to White beach from Talipanan beach while picking up some stones and pause for a quick swim. The most fun is passing through boulders rock along the way! 1️⃣ST DAY: Arrived in Batangas port around 11:30 AM. Parked our car inside the port and then went to buy tickets.  ðŸ’ĩ Ferry expe...

My 40th of the 81 PH Provinces  ðŸ‡ĩ🇭 My supposed first solo 💃  travel at tempt turned out to be double  ðŸ‘Ŋ‍♀️  (ehem  Arfem ). Glad to have a companion in the end. If it was just me, imagine me low key panicking after finding out that my Cebupac terminal was in 4 while looking stupid in line outside the terminal 3 departure gate 30 min before the boarding time (Basa basa din kase ng itinerary/boarding pass..tsk tsk tsk). Then trying to get a taxi but driver wanted to milk money. Then p lane returning back to Manila bec it couldnt land in Masbate due to thunderstorm.. And then being stuck in the airport for 5 hours, waiting for another flight! How fun would that be if it was just me! Haha!  ðŸĪŠ

Catanduanes, why have I known you just now? 😆 The only reason I booked this flight to Virac, the province's capital, is because there were no other options during that piso promo night. And since I am completing the 81 PH provinces, then heck might as well go!  Surprisingly, Catanduanes (known to be the happy island and previously the land howling wind), became one of the best provinces we've been into so far! This underrated island has a lot to boot!
