Puerto Galera!



We sometimes want to do something refreshing during our days off but we can't... either because the place we wanna visit is far or too expensive to go... It's kinda frustrating, right? I, for example, wanted to go to Pagudpud but it's too far from Manila and I only had 2 to3 days off from work... or I wanted to go to Palawan but it's too expensive to go there and I was on a tight budget. For those like me, why not try Mindoro? About 4 to 5 hours away from Manila is a string of beaches, Puerto Gallera!







Since it's becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination a lot of establishments like bars and restaurants were put up to accommodate the tourists... 



The first time I went to Mindoro was 10 years ago and fortunately up until now the water is still as clear as a crystal... so amazing to see what's down under the water while you're riding the "bangka"...






The white sand just looks and feels good you wouldn't mind walking barefooted... 







A little bit of hiking to see the beautiful view of the ocean.... 








When you want to be alone and feel the peace the ocean offers,
 there's nothing more breathtaking than watching the sun set...


A good night life... together with friends, new and old....
