We started our day early, and by that, I meant around 7 or 8 am, that’s pretty early considering all the hiking and walking we did the day before I’m surprised we managed to wake up early and got ourselves ready by 7 in the morning. Kuya Jun, our tour guide/driver picked us up from…
Batanes is the northernmost part of the Philippines. As the song goes by the number one longest-running noontime show, Eat Bulaga, “Mula Batanes…hanggang Jolo” which roughly translates to ‘From Batanes to Jolo’, Batanes is really at the very tip of northern Philippines.

From running around Iloilo City from one church to another, we then finish our short half a day stay and ask our tour guide/driver to take us to Ortiz port. I didn’t actually know that it’s called Ortiz, I just look it up on the net! I know though that we were bound for Jordan…
