a trip to puerto galera...

Puerto Galera is a haven for people who love the beach.The cost of getting there, the accommodation, food and drinks are surprisingly cheap compared to Boracay or Palawan.It is a string of beaches located on the northwest side of Mindoro Island.The most famous among the beaches there is White Beach. it's where i headed 2 years ago. alone, all by myself. White beach was said to be the longest, widest beach in Galera.
I decided to go to the place because i havent been there. everything was an adventure for me. i took a vacation leave from the office, basically went there to relax and enjoy.
i stayed at Mendelluke's Suite. the accomodation was good. very reasonable room
rate.it was a beachfront room with aircon,cable tv, clean comfort room.
Nightlife in galera is already boracaylike. resto bars are everywhere serving various alcoholic beverages from cocktails to rhum, brandy,tequilla!name it you'll have it.The most famous one though is "mindoro sling".
A few steps away from my suite is a resto bar called "Coco Aroma" . it's the only bar with live reggae band. i so love it. i just a had few beers and enjoyed listening to bob marley songs played by the band. and they call themselves..."The Turtle Club"
Puerto Galera...man, this place is really a backpacker's delight!
Puerto Galera is approximately
3hours from Manila. Two hours by bus from Manila to Batangas followed by a one hour boat ride from Batangas pier to Puerto Galera.
