Island Hopping

I will not say that this is a perfect getaway. But if one is looking for a REAL GETAWAY, it’s someplace to visit. No electricity (no “comfort amenities”), not a crowded beach (we barely saw 3 groups), real quiet, just serenity and peace (if the weather is fine).

These are islands just a few minutes (15, i guess) from the pier of Matnog, Sorsogon. I’m talking about TIKLING and SUBIC.

Warning: the water is real deep.

The Single Adults of Bulan Philippines District is planning to stay overnight in one of these islands on May 1, that is why we made an ocular inspection yesterday (Apr 10). We rented a small boat (we were just 7 persons, including the boat guys and it was almost full). But bigger boats can be rented (capacity of 30 or more, maybe). For the small boat we paid Php 500.00 for the whole trip (1 and a-half hour; island hopping). But we have a contact, a local who knows people (who has boats). I heard the bigger boats might charge a whooping Php 15,000.00. But you can make arrangements, i think.
Again, if you are an urban lass who wants “hotel services”, find another place (Bora, i guess). But if you are an adventurous type (survivor feel), try these places.

How i wish i have an hd cam to capture the view (it’s a camera phone which i’m using).

By the way, is that a bottle of drinking water? You are thinking!
