PALAWAN

Boarded on a 20-seater Dornier aircraft on a 3500 altitude for 75 minutes made my mom say: “Never board on a small aircraft again”. Though the flight from Manila to EL Nido airport went well, the sound of the airport made my brain lights up as it’s going to be a huge one. I was wrong. From there we hopped on a jeep that looks more like a mini-bus, which people could literally stand up on the roomy inside of it. Quite lucky we were not packed that day, I can already imagine the scenario in the sweltering hot summer days! It was a 15-minute uphill and downhill ride to the seaport of the small town of El Nido. The trail was never far copied from the breezy trail of Tagaytay. Though I have never been, mom told me that the small town mimics the site of Boracay, and the ambiance by the day. There was no doubt that freshest of the fresh air filled our lungs up, while those eyes who boarded on that jeep, darted on the town’s untouched winding scenery. Moments later we set foot the...

Hanlan's Point Nudist Beach Canada

Who would have thought that someone like me would go to such place? Funny, but my friend and I did, on one hot sunny day of 2008, everything went well according to plan. Toronto Island, where a complainer wouldn’t pass the b risk walkers’ standards to walk along the loooooong trail in a hot and sweaty summer day! So, renting a bike for $7 an hour was the only option as I categorized my friend as one bitchy complainer. We had lunch on one of the several empty park benches in a picnic area, hoping there would be no caterpillars accidentally dangling and clinging to its dear life from the big shadowy tree aside. ~Toronto Island~ X-mark the spot. Hanlan’s Point. Imagine the bravery within us to discover what really a nudist beach is. On the way, we couldn’t really help ourselves but to giggle and somewhat focus our attention with what’s gonna lay our eyes, expectedly. We held our bikes on our side while walking, and keep asking one another, ‘where is it?’, ‘where is...

Bon Echo Provincial Park

We had an early start to our day on the way to Bon Echo Provincial Park, so we captured this beautiful burst of sunshine- one of the perks of driving early aside from less traffic! We rented a canoe to see the majestic hundred meter cliff, Mazinaw Rock (Algonquin word for “writing”) with wonderful pictographs that dated hundred years ago by Indigenous people. To rent a canoe during peak season, you have to line up early, as there are a lot of people waiting to rent one. We came at 7:40AM and there were more than 20 people already in line. Canoe/ kayak is the only way to see the Mazinaw Rock up close. The paddle is about 10-15 minutes, and water’s super calm when there are no boats crossing between the lower and upper Mazinaw lake. One part of the huge rock formations, is a rock-climbers mecca, only registered climbers are allowed to climb the rock. There were 5 walk-in campsites by the water, facing the Mazinaw Rock, and would be wonderful...

Puerto Galera Philippines

Puerto Galera We went to Puerto Galera summer of 2017. Oh boy, was it hot! Puerto Galera is located about an hour ferry ride south of Batangas port. We stayed in White Beach, a long stretch of white sand beach in Puerto Galera, where locals and tourist-alike bask under the sun. Gorgeous sunset. HOTEL We were booked at White Beach Lodge & Restaurant for two nights and three days. We booked from a third party booking company called AGODA, but after a mishap when we arrived, we later on was placed to Residencia La Estela. The owner gave us rooms way far from the beach, with no nice views, whatsoever. Funny thing too was, it was behind the owner's own house. The flush was completely broken so we had to use old school of flushing toilet by using a pail of water. With social media era, and two youngsters in tow, wi-fi should be readily available at our fingertips but, there was no way it was available for us to use. There were fo...
