Pandan Island Paradise

Where: Pandan Island, Mindoro Occidental
When: May 1 - 3, 2008
What to See: Paradise! Hehe. Pandan Island is the gateway to Apo Reef Sanctuary, one of the famous dive sites in the Philippines, described as a "slice of Tubbataha". No comment on that description. Basta maganda sa Pandan Island! Snorkeling pa lang, may pawikan na! Too bad wala kaming underwater camera....

Jao took the plane route (Manila - San Jose, plus roughly an hour by bus to Sablayan), while we took the roro route (Manila - Batangas Pier - Abra de Ilog - Sablayan), which is a 9-hour journey. Ang masasabi ko lang...sulit! On the trip back home, I was thinking of the turtle. Asteeg talaga. :)
