I was chatting one lonesome evening with Jayvee and I found out that he hasn't been to Puerto Galera. I love going to the beach, so then and there we planned on rounding up some friends, bloggers and whoever to go visit Puerto Galera. I'm taking the initiative to blog about it coz I don't want Jayvee to use the blog title he proposed.When
March 3-4, 2007, Saturday and Sunday
How to Get There
If you're bringing car, just drive up to Batangas Pier and park your car there. I think overnight parking is around PhP200.
If you're commuting, take the bus to Batangas Pier at Alabang. Better yet let's all meet up at Jollibee (beside the bus/FX/jeep terminal) in Alabang at 5:30 a.m. and go together.
At the Batangas Pier take the ferry to White Beach. That takes about an hour.
Then, you're there!
Accommodations
We're planning to make some sort of reservation depending on how many are coming. Four to six people can sleep comfortably in the barkada rooms.

How Much it Costs
This is what I spent the last time I went (March 2006), so it might've gone up 10 to 20%:
Taxi to bus - 100 (from Paranaque)
Bus to Pier - 120
Fastcraft to White Beach - 180
Terminal Fee - 10
Room - 500 (PhP1,500 total; I had 2 friends with me but 5 people would fit in the room)
Food - 150 per meal (You'll survive with spending PhP50 to 80, but I eat a lot eh)
Massage - 150 or 200 (don't really remember)
Pasalubong - 100 per t-shirt, 5 per bracelet
Fastcraft to Batangas - 180
Bus to Manila - 120
Taxi to home - 100
That's approximately PhP2k per person with 3 to 4 people in a room.

if anyone's going to get a real tattoo (not just the temporary henna thing), i'd say go to the Island Tattoo stand at White Beach. look for tupeng (actually, christopher heh heh), he's a pretty good artist.
ReplyDeletedon't forget to try the mindoro sling while at the beach.
have fun!
Jomar... shhhhh!!! Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteTo Jester-in-Exile. Yup! Tatupeng! Met him and had several tattoos done by him. He's in my friendster. :)
I want to goooo. :D Most probably I'll be able to, but I have to get the parental permission first. Haha but that's easy. ;)
ReplyDeleteJoms! If I need someone to ask permission for me, ikaw tatawagan ko ha. :P (hahaha ang hirap talaga pag bata pa :p).

ReplyDeleteWell, actually it's just work that's stopping me... Mostly...
