a taste of Batanes in CAPONES......

_____________________________

If there are places the I dream of going they would definitely be SAGADA/Banaue and BATANES. I will not expound on Santorini Greece anymore coz I know that it's too surreal.............

I just love the
idea of being in a
place where all you
think of is yourself.

I often see Batanes in blogs
and I would kill to see it's
hills and blue seas.
Our trip to CAPONES gave
me a hint of how it feels like.

In the Northwest side of the island is a lighthouse which is a must-see
if you visit CAPONES.........

___________________________



there it is................



The coast is rocky so we need to go down and walk through rocks and water as deep as the waistline.Have to be careful here because the rocks might not be sharp but a bit slippery. Better leave the cellphones on the boat. Our boat is small so it's easier to go closer to the coast despite the strong waves.

One's onshore, climbing will be a lot easier because there is an old stairway.



Once on top, the view is just great.It gave me a taste of different places.....

The historic lighthouse

The majestic cliffs
of BATANES.......

and the peaceful blue seas
of SANTORINI.....






I am sure the view would have been equally beautiful from the lighthouse but we decided not to push further. Our boatman failed to bring any anchor so he had to hold the boat so as not to be carried by the battering waves. We felt that it would be too much to enjoy while he was in the water waiting for us. Maybe next time.

The memories of CAPONES will last for eternity. I will definitely be back.

  7. I missed a lot when I was just a young professional, fresh out of college and roaming many parts of the Philippines. I took everything I saw and experienced for granted -I thought it was the way things were supposed to be.

    I have seen many parts of the world now and I have a better appreciate of what our country has to offer. The Philippines is uniquely a beautiful place and its people, outside of the tourist infested places, are the most accomodating and friendliest in the world.

    i agree. they're really sweet and kind people. there was this book 'the book of mormon' i asked them about it but they refused to give more datails. they wanted to spea k to our parents first... hmmm...
