I'm disoriented with days now. Current awake at 2AM instead of my usual sleeping time but we are off to our tour today.
Arrived at Baras just in time for sunrise to start our hike at Binurong Point that’s been on our bucket list since 2016 or 2017.
Struggle is real as I'm no hiker our tour guide was so fast that at the beginning I can hear my breathing and heart rate is at 161. Thankful for the whole hike because no one got injured and we were safe. Hopefully next time there will be intro that we are already hiking because as we were waiting for a tour guide since we arrived early we took the time to nap. When there’s a tour guide already available we are fresh awake from the nap. Lol
Binurong Point is so pretty. If you can't afford Batanes yet this is your chance just be ready. Our tour preferred chasing sunrise so we are on our way immediately before 5AM. Words and pictures can’t do any justice it was so worth it. Will do it again sometime if needed to.
Nature can fuck my brain so hard that it can shut down everything. I’m just so speechless and just wow. Thankful for a beautiful sunrise.
Thankful for our guide even it somehow started awkward but when we got there on top he started to offer us to take our pictures and he got some good ideas too. As we chase the sunrise we are the first people in there and fortunate to have our pictures taken without other people around.
I'm so out of words for it. It's just too pretty and breathtaking.
Thing I get of waking up 2AM instead of just getting in bed.
Puraran beach was next on our list and it's pretty too. Would love to swim on all the beaches we stopped by but since we are on the go and not staying on any resort for a long period of time so I just don't want to rush on swimming on the beach if I will I just want to chill. Love the rock formation in the middle and you can really swim from the beach.
Visited 2 churches and Maribinan Falls. It rained for a little then stopped. On our way out of Maribinan Falls, there was a motorcycle on our way out and didn't gave much notice to who it was since I'm looking at the steps I'm making since I'm being careful
Next stop was a souvenir shop that we almost skipped but thankful we didn't because Philippine Looper's bag (Ferdinand Dela Merced) is there and it became a tourist attraction to us immediately. Surprisingly he was the one riding the motorcycle that I didn't gave attention early. The staff at Happy Island was so nice we had our conversation about Philippine Looper and when they came back they even share the empanadas that was given by a local. We had pictures and it was so fun. Can't believe that we will cross paths. I'm stunned. One of the high light of our Catanduanes trip for sure.
We had lunch and back on our accommodation and sleep. Hehe. Woke up at 9PM and had late dinner and sleep again since we are going back to Tabaco in the morning.
