Batanes, Philippines

If you're after a nice comfortable vacation, then Batanes is not for you. NO HOT SHOWER at freezing temperature of 13 degrees Celcius but just pure undisturbed nature.

The most memorable experience was when we had to cross the sea with waves higher than two story building using a boat no bigger than a small jeepney!

On the second day of our expedition, I slipped while walking on very slippery algae covered concrete flooring near the pier. My camera landed LENS first and I hit the floor BUTT first. Luckily both my camera and body still works!

Batanes is a place that makes you appreciate all the comforts you enjoy in a large city. It is a place for you to stop complaining about life but reflect on how GREAT our GOD is. It is a good place for you to medidate on the WONDERS of being ALIVE.

Today, I thank GOD every minute for bringing me safely back. And after all the excitements and back pain, it really feels good to bring back all these pictures.

Hope you enjoy them.
