As you may have noticed in my social media accounts, last
weekend I finally got to see Batanes. Prior to this trip, I would share the
same sentiments as others. Harrumphing about the price one needs to pay to get
there saying it could already get a person or even two to another country at even
a cheaper rate (even at promo rates!). This very same excuse and others, hence,
the solo trip. It’s most welcome change though since it’s really been a while
since I last traveled sans company.
When I was doing my preparation for the island, I found out
that there’s no mobile data connection in this northernmost province as it was
destroyed during the typhoon sometime last year. I know most of my friends
would think I won’t survive it (lol!) But deep within I myself I just know, I
could really use a good social media break. Don’t you? Going solo to a remote
island with no internet connection is just the perfect recipe for a
soul-searching Cassey. Hahaha.
If there’s only one downside of not being connected, it’s
not being able to share realtime the breathtaking beauty of Batanes. There’s
just simply no words guys, no words. It’s something that one needs to be
experienced. It’s the type of beauty that makes you scream at the top of your lungs
– Ang ganda ng Pilipinas!!! I should know coz I almost followed suit the other
tourists who did this in one of the verdant hills.
And if there’s one positive thing about getting disconnected,
the effect in my thoughts and writing. Lol. My followers would know that I’m
used to one-worded captions. Haha! But no, a few words are not enough to describe
the things I experienced in my 2-day sojourn. You can see for yourself
the lengthy captions in my FB and IG posts now. Lol. And since it may take
sometime before I fully blog about it (the suppliers/ partners are already
following up uggghh), I made this preface. HAHAHA. I’m not a good writer but I really
wanted to make the posts as flowery as possible but I’m not sure I’m capable of
that. That is why, I’m thankful for these pictures. I hope you enjoy the
preview pics below and let’s hope that I can blog about it the soonest! :)
P.S. Batanes is celebrating this whole week it's 234th foundation.:)
