Sabang - so long since I’ve seen the ocean
[27-31/1/06] After a lot of walking, followed by bus, ferry, plane, and jeepney rides, Andy and I arrived at Sabang. The rest of our travel group arrived from Manila on the same day. Sabang is a stereotypical tropical paradise - golden beaches, palm trees, huts on the beachfront. And it is wonderfully isolated from the rest of the world - at least a couple of hours by boat or jeepney to the nearest town (also no hot water and it only has electricity from 6:00pm-10:00pm). So there wasn’t much to do but eat, drink, and swim.
It had been a year since I’d swum in the ocean (other than a quick dip during the lunch break when we toured Corregidor). So it was great to spend hours just playing in the surf, breathing in the salty air, choking on the salt water…
My home for three nights - nothing but a bed and mosquito net inside.
Derek, Cristina, Andy, Spence. Drinking 1 litre beers on the beach…
