I learned recently that a cable park as big as the one at the Cam Sur Watersports Complex will open in Clark, Pampanga in September. Yippee! That’ll make wakeboarding more convenient for me. Clark is much more accessible than Bicol, though I wouldn’t mind going back to Cam Sur at all.

Puerto Galera

Your Writer, emoting on the beach

This is a photo blog, created to promote Puerto Galera, which was where I spent part of Holy Week. If I had to describe in one word this popular tourist spot in Mindoro Oriental, the word would be breathtaking. It truly is!

——————————

A tip: In Puerto Galera, it is best to stay in Sabang Beach, visit different places other than the beaches, go to Talipanan Beach to swim and/or sunbathe, then head to White Beach to party.

Next stop: Mt. Pinatubo and then Sagada
