Puerto Galera, A Paradise
My first visit to this place was seven years ago and a lot has changed since then. I shared the excitement with first timer D as we hopped out of the Gorgonilla boat in White Beach.Perhaps because it was a Wednesday, a few people were on the island and until we left, we enjoyed the serenity of the place.
We had our lunch at Myra & Medelaine's Place and the owner was kind enough to suggest that we leave our things with her since we were not getting a room as we were going home the same day. She even allowed us to take our shower (for free) at their place before heading home. The next locals we met were just as hospitable, making us feel like we were home.
The usual stuffs are available by the shore - bars, souvenir shops, the henna tattoos 
which D & I tried, the Php200/$4 massage which lulled us to sleep for a few minutes, turon, banana-q and halo-halo stands, camping supplies and diving gears for rent and speed boats/jetskis/flying fish/banana boat rides at super low rates.

Our last activity for the day was the banana boat and surprisingly, this time we enjoyed the ride and the fall!
We could have gone island hopping and snorkeling (which Manong offered at a very cheap price) but time didn't allow us to. We had to take the last 4:30 pm trip to make it just in time for my 10:00 pm shift. Sayang.
Total expense (bus/ferry/terminal fee/f & B/tattoo/massage/banana boat) for 2 pax was Php2,700/$54. Isn't that cheap or what?
We are definitely coming back for more of this island!
D is a very cool companion, huh to go on these last-minute trips with you!! Kaninong behind yun, ang seksiiii1!hehe - ajay

Is that really true? That you went to Puerto Galera without planning the trip? Nice!
Thanks for the candle compliment by the way...
