Boat Tour: Going to Anguib Beach

Moving onward with my boat tour at Sta. Ana, Cagayan! From Crocodile Island, we moved on to Anguib Beach. Ah, before we proceed any further, so you do not hesitate when you see the word "Anguib". It is pronounced as "ang-gib". Don't bother about the spelling or the presence of that letter "u". That is just how we are in this country after being colonized by Spain for more than three centuries!

And more trivia: Anguib is on mainland Luzon. Yes, Anguib Beach is not on an island. It is part of the big island of Luzon and sits at the northern tip of Sta. Ana, which is the northeastern-most town of Luzon.

So why a boat tour? Aba malay ko hehe! It was part of the itinerary so I took it. Maybe (Probably) that place was hard to reach by land in the past, so that, the locals are or have been used to going there by boat.

Anyway, it took us 32 minutes to cross the sea from Crocodile Island...

That white strip? Nah, its not yet the beach. That is a wave crashing in the middle of the sea! Yes, there is something like that, and this was my first time experiencing it. The waves rumble and crash unto the sea (not a beach) forming those foamy whites.So boats have to skirt around, instead of going straight. Maybe that portion is a shallow area.

Too near yet too far...
We were headed there, but the crashing big waves were in the way. So our boat still had to keep sailing a bit more to the left, before we could turn a sharp right, where there were no crashing waves (just big waves hehe), then sprint for the beach.

Not for the nerbyoso like me hahaha (kape pa more)!

Eto, we were past the crashing waves... mahinahon na si dagat in shallower waters...

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Balantak Falls

Image
I haven't heard about this waterfall until I was already moments away from being there! And I have no regrets whatsoever. Ah, sometimes, beautiful surprises do happen to my itchy feet. Sometimes haha! For me who had seen many a waterfall, this one would seem nothing to shout to the world about. But being there was mesmerizingly refreshing enough. How tall is it? I'm not sure, but see my habal-habal driver on lower ground and compare his height to that of the waterfall. You should get a hint, at least! Discovering Balantak Falls How I found-out about Balantak Falls ! I was in Brgy. Guirang (pronounced gi-rung) in Basey Samar, for another round of "work-related work"! While walking-around by the entrance to the barangay's main residential area, I happened to see this: A fairly new hut and open on all sides, so I asked them what it is. They said it's a waiting shed. I asked further 'who would wait here' since I knew there are no commuter jeeps in t

THE Ride from Tuguegarao to Sta. Ana

Image
Alrightee folks! I traveled from Tuguegarao to the northern-most town of Cagayan Valley, that is, Sta. Ana. And, Oh My Gee! I never expected this "mode" of transportation! It was a van, yes. The type and style that we call "UV Express" all over the country. But not the usual that I have seen, even in the more remote areas of the Visayas and Mindanao. This ride was on a piece of "flying junk" hahaha! It started like this... the night before I check-out at Hotel Roma, I asked the friendly front desk staff if there was a better way to go to Sta. Ana. than riding the bus. The very helpful suggestion was, I ride the vans instead of the bus, because, they are purportedly faster and more comfortable. Okay, I thought I would do just that. Staff even told me to remind them during check-out that I'm taking a UV Express commute to Sta. Ana. I did just that. The eager staff went out with me to front of the hotel. He hailed a trike for me and gave instructions t
