aEMY'S WANDERLUST
"the gladdest moment in human life is the departure to unknown lands"
10/2/2015 0 Comments Tamaraw FallsĀIt was a typical lazy weekend for me when a friend invited me to come along with her, in her hometown in Calapan, Mindoro. I was not supposed to tag myself along (since I 've been to Puerto Galera for how many times then) but when she told me that we will be going in Galera beaches by land and see as well the Tamaraw Falls, i then became excited. Yes, I have been to Puerto Galera for how many times, but this is the first time that I am going to travel by land (going to their beaches) and to see also their very known Tamaraw Falls. At exactly 12 midnight, we rode off the bus going to Batangas City port. We arrived at exactly 4 AM, waited for the barge' first trip going to Calapan at 5 in the morning. Riding a barge is not a new thing for me but the only difference this time, we were in the middle of the sea before the sun rises, which gives me a feeling of serenity. After an hour and a half in the sea, we arrived at Calapan Port, dropped by in the Cathedral to attend a mass and ate breakfast in the city. All these things are new to me since we landed this time on a different port going to Puerto Galera beaches. I also discovered that there are also public utility vans in town going to Iloilo City via Roxas; which I thought, not possible (but it is). After we had our breakfast, we went straight in my friend's house in Barangay Kalawang, rested for few hours and set to go to see the beautiful falls by riding a big bike. From there house, it took us 45 minutes before we reach the boundary of Puerto Galera. Though I'm not used into riding a big bike, I somehow enjoyed it because of the wide roads we passed by and only few vehicles we have seen along the way. We have reached our first stop, the Tamaraw Falls, after 15 more minutes. As we were getting near on the said falls, you will hear the sound ofthe water dropping fast and I was like a little kid when I finally see its beauty on the road side that need not for us to hike or walk anymore for us to be able to reach it. Yes, it was really a bumpy ride for me and my friend but our lack of sleep and long ride were all paid off seeing a wonderful place like this.
Happy viewing :)
