Batanes : A Dozen Photos That Show Why I Love Sabtang Island

Why do I love you? Let me count the ways...

(1) your rugged yet refreshing beauty...



(2) your port that tells thousand stories...

(3) the view of your lighthouse while approaching your port...

(4) visiting your villages that seems frozen in time...

(5) errr, frozen in what?,  this ivatan woman has a satellite tv...

(6) your magnificent landscape that goes to the sea...

(7) your scenic roadtrip...

(8) your modern welcome arch with native touch...

(9) your handshake logo that reflects the warm welcome of your people...

(10) your Chavayan Village known for its preservation and protection...

(11) the way you made me wish that time should be longer...

(12) how you symbolize strength by overcoming the forces of nature!
Oh Sabtang, promise I'll come back soon...

  4. I am glad you visited my blog, for now I could visit yours! This series of photos is magnificent, unique and refreshing. The houses remind me of the Norwegian houses with grass roofs. The scenery is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

  9. One of my dream destinations. I went to Travel Expo the other weekend to score a trip to Batanes but too bad I didn't get one. But I am happy with Bohol and Davao which I got at super discounted package price.
