Galera Adventure (Day 1)


Last weekend, I went to Puerto Galera with my mountaineering buddies. I almost wasn't able to come with them, but I'm glad I was able to. This was my second time here, the water is still great (though a bit itchy.. hehe) and the weather is good. We stayed at HSL Resort. They have nice ammenities with reasonable rates.

On our first day, we explored the place. We went through this small, cave-like opening which leads to boulders of rock and crystal clear water.

And of course, we will not miss out the banana boat ride! We really enjoyed the ride specially everytime the speed boat would make a quick turn and left us splashing into the water!!!
And after a day of exhausting water activities, is a relaxing moment. Though another day bids goodbye, there will always be a tomorrow we should be looking forward to.
Trivia:
In 1574 the Spanish founded Puerto Galera as one of their major trade centers in the Philippines, and soon after made it into an important base. Through the centuries, the Spanish used Puerto Galera as a safe harbor for their galleons (the Spanish name Puerto Galera means simply harbor of galleons).
