Puerto Galera
Another long weekend with the second of three national holidays here in the Philippines. This time it was a regional holiday, one for Laguna where IRRI is based.
A trip was booked to go to Puerto Galera a beach resort about four hours away. A three hour drive by bus and one hour across the bay from Batangas to Puerto Galera. A short tricycle ride to our hotel followed. Weather was beautiful and Talipanan’s white sand beaches were a real treat. Finally, a chance for an Irish man to upgrade from farmers tan to full body tan!!
Saturday was spent relaxing on the beach working on the skin tone and Sunday resulted in a glorious thirty minute hike to Talipanan waterfall. Very refreshing and enjoyable!
Nice weekend away and another opportunity to see more of the Philippines natural beauty. It sure is a country with hidden gems!!
