Philippines

The Hop Inn is clean, safe, and the staff are SUPER friendly. I highly recommend it.

On the way back to Batangas Port from Sabang Beach, our damn pump boat broke down four times. The Captain fixed the diesel engine with a wood saw. The engine was running rough from the start. I can't recommend the Blue Penguin.

Booze cruise over to White Beach for some beach volleyball. What a great trip. Thanks to the Bikini Bar and crew for organizing this trip and putting up with my drunk ass.

Here's Day 2 at the floating bar featuring drunken high diving off the top deck. Stay tuned for Day 3's episode with beach volleyball at White Beach!

I certainly enjoyed my stay at the Bamboo House in Talipanon Beach, Philippines. I highly recommend this place. It is off the beaten path but 100% worth the time to get there.

Here's the initial discovery and first impressions of this little floating gem. Stay tuned for Day 2's episode featuring some high-dive action off the top of the Bikini Bar.

Got lost on the motorbike and found Tamaraw Falls near Puerto Galera, Philippines.

I took a walk around Puerto Galera. It's really a quaint little place. If you're into scuba diving, Puerto Galera is the place to be.

While the journey to Puerto Galera via Batangas Pier was an adventure, the next time I'll fly AirJuan and avoid the headaches.
