Batanes here we come!

Posted by tekgik under kaBlog, News, Travel

Travelling time of the year with the family. We contemplated on going to Thailand but on the last minute we decided Batanes instead.

Batanes is the Scottlandia of the Philippines.

We are excited but felt bad since this will be the first time my brother and sis-in-law will not be around.  We will surely miss their absence.

I was digging my pictures folder on my mac today. I saw this shot, photo taken by a friend Terence Baluyot at the 12th Philippine Hot Air Balloon Festival last February 2008. He was the one who gave the slot to me flying with the giant octopus balloon.

Seen in the Photo (left) is the Pilot Mr. Ota from Japan.

300+ steps downward to Iligan’s majestic Tinago Falls in Mindanao.

More astonishing than Maria Cristina Falls (the tallest falls in the Philippines)
