puerto galera experience (worst experience or happy)?

I stayed with Serafin at his office as I stated with my previous post while waiting for Bhunny. We should meet at exactly 1PM. While waiting for him, I introduced to serafin what blogspot is and he is happy about it. Unfortunately, Bhunny did not make it on time because he can't go in the foc center to get his belongings, He waited 3 hours and finally get those at 3PM. He finally arrived in PNU and we went to Buendia (Gil Puyat station LRT station). The bus left manila at 4PM and arrived at batangas pier at 7PM. On the way to batangas Pier, we are waching a movie "The sixth man". Funny it is because it is a game of basketball and in the championship game, the last ball shot that would win the team as it is getting near the basket, the movie stopped because we already arrived in pier. Haha, we didn't see the ball went to basket. We rushed to the port, unfortunately, the last trip is 5PM. So we wen't back to the bus terminal and have our dinner.

the night after the trip

So we didn't make it to puerto as planned. The first batch are already having fun while drinking with foreigners. So we tought of drinking also. So we went to the videoke bar "eurasian bar w/ live band of 7 girls". We limited ourselves to have 3 bottles of lite and one sisig because the plan is we should be back to pier at 5AM. We stayed in a motel "Pension House Avenue", 300 for an airconditioned room and 220 for a room with an electric fan and they gave these two rooms for us that cost us 500 pesos, a ride away with tricycle or a jeepney 10 pesos each (jeepney ride is always cheaper). And we wen't to pier early morning, ate breakfast, and bought ticket P140 each (130 for ticket and 10 for boarding pass). The first trip is 7:15AM. The boat is late of 15 minutes so we left port at 7:30AM. We arrived in puerto gallera at 8:30AM. Many tricycles are waiting to get passengers (for sure they cost 20Pesos each for a ride). The destination is "Aninuhan Beach Resort" and we are told to have a walk of 2 minutes to get to the highway and get a jeepney ride that will only cost us at P10 each. We waited about 10minutes long and finally decided to get a tricycle ride. We managed to talk with the driver and finally can get us to our destination with P15 each for a ride. We are already excited to meet the first batch. There is only one billboard and narrow stairs going to the beach.

At the beach



Upon arriving I immediately asked for a coffee worth P20. Food and drinks here cost twice as much as the regular price. I greeted each one I knew and not. I enjoyed the swimming for 3 hours, picture taking. We also have a little conversation concercing about the future activities.



We are 20 guys who are enjoying the beach. The center attraction is called the white beach and we are not in that place, but 5 minutes walk at seaside. Many are swimmin' there so the group decided with a more private place. After this enjoyment, at lunch, we wen't to the whitebeach and divided ourselves into three for different restaurants. We ordered 4 omelettes 2 rice for each one. Our group is of 5 but pao mistakenly ordered only 4. So we shared these food for 5. Hehe. The food is also great, we waited about 15 minutes for the preparation of food. We don't have that much time to wait for lunch beacause we will leave the beach at 1:30PM and the minimum time for most of the food here to get prepared is 40 minutes. A very quick lunch at white beach and went back to the aninuhan beach. the jeepney is already waiting for us to get us to the port. Of course I did not forget to get a souvenir of 10 pieces of t-shirst that cost 100 each and bracelets. I promised to my friends in manila that I will get them a souvenir.

The return

We left puerto galera at 2:PM with the boat full of passengers, most of us occupied the tail part of the boat. Picture taking is still hot. We arrived finally at batangas pier at 3PM, immediately we went to the parking area where the first batch left their car that cost them 500 pesos for the three cars. The two cars first went home and ruben with his car went to their home in batangas. 10 people with the revo and 10 with the l300. We are all tired and have only little conversation with the 2 hours trip going back to manila.



At home, I am already super tired still, I have my visitors in my room coming from hongkong and will leave manila to go to the province at 10PM. So I waited for them to begone in my room so that I can fully rest. At least they left me with a boxer shirt. They left with a smile and I am happy that I have seen my cousin from hongkong with her family. I was also introduced to their 13 yr old girl and 3 yr old boy. They are funny and bravo. Their boy is like my youngest brother attitude.

Alas I am tired and happy and super exhausted.



Worst?

The second batch of 3 people including me didn't make it the first day that we have only 4 hours to enjoy puerto galera.

Happy?

I am happy because I enjoyed the beach and bonded with old friends of mine.

Sad?

This is my last out of the town trip. I have to concentrate on my studies. I will do the will of God.
