It has been a long time since I last
traveled and just when I though about doing it again,voila, it fell on my birth date. :) And so 'Galera revisited' materialized.
I really looked forward to this trip,
excited is more like it, because it was my first time to go on a
trip to the beach with my boyfriend.. :-). One more thing different
about this trip is that I'm with the 'girls' (Jana and Mae) and this
time we did not acquire the services of any travel agencies because of
bad experience. It's cheaper if you'll plan the trip and save up to
the last centavo. We brought our own utensils, stove, canned goods,
drinks etc. just to stick to our budget. Mismo!
Upon returning to Galera, I noticed
some changes. Part of the shoreline near the commercial
establishments have been cemented and elevated. The beachfront is
much shorter than before, more crowded. Same ol' activities like
banana boat ride, snorkeling, diving, henna tattooing are still
available.
And so we went on to the usual IT in
Galera (bumming at the beach, drinking spree, food trip...). At night
time, a sponsored event was being held at the events area. It was
party-to-the-max. There was a group of gay flirts who harassed my boyfriend when I went to the washroom (poor Rey), saw John "Sweet" Lapus, had a picture with him/her and got wasted. The night was already in a blur at that point so I had no idea how I got into our room.
Morning came and most gather their 'pasalubong' early on. Time to say "goodbye Galera" for now. :)
