Trip to Batanes, Day 6

This day I started out early again with a Jeepney ride back to the dock to take another boat to Sabtang. Again, I got lucky and got right on a boat without having to wait for it. The water was calm for the first half, but then the second half I felt like I was on a roller coaster. The rest of the people on the boat took it pretty well.

Got to the island and said "hi" to the canteena owner and asked him if he knew where I could rent a motorcycle to go around on. So then he runs around asking all these people who have motorcycles if I can rent them. I'm thinking "uh, I dont' want to take someones motorcycle." Finally he talks to one of the ladies that works in his canteen and she goes and gets her motocycle. So I get on it and try to start it, and me not really knowing how to ride a motorcycle must have looked pretty dumb. So finally, they look at me and then he talks to the lady and he says that she will take me to where i want to go if that's fine with me.

I say "YES" and so she goes to change her clothes to something more comfortable and we're off on a motorcycle on this almost deserted island to see some beautiful sights. So after about 6 miles we get to the first place called Chavayan. I have to say this was one of the most beautiful tropical locations I've been too. It looked like a mini Hawaii or something like that. So I stayed there for like an hour just taking pictures and stuff while the lady that drove me there probably went to someone she knew's house.

After that it was back across to where the boat dropped off and then another 2 miles to go to this place called the Arch. It's a natural rock arch along the coast on a beautiful white beach. We go there and it was just as beautiful as the place before. So we chill there for 45 minutes just listening to the waves crash and watch the sand crabs go across the sand. It was surreal to be there and to think how lucky I was to get opportunities like this. She then drove me back to the boat dock just in time for me to find a boat that was leaving.

I got on this boat and the ride back was one of the craziest boat rides I've been on. Every time it felt like the wave was going to come in the boat, the boat would sway the other direction. It was nuts. Everyone else in the boat though seemed to think it was normal. Needless to say, when I got back to Batan and was on dry land, I was a happy camper. I chilled out at my lodge that night and for dinner went to a restaurant called Casa Napoli. I got a hawaiian pizza and it was delicious. Then I went to bed.
