Catanduanes tourist attractions

**Catanduanes** is one of the places I enjoyed the most. It is my first time traveling there so I was amazed how it got **maintained** so well. My **friend** will be **married** and we are **invited**. It is Monday morning when we went to the **port**. We bought a **ticket** and carry the **luggage**. We will be riding a **feeerrrrryyy**. It was so big and great that even a **bus** can **ride** on it.

It is my **first time** riding that kind of transportation as I always ride on a **smaller boat**. Then the time came when it started to function. I love to see how that ferry **splashes** the water. It is so **refreshing**. I am with my **family and friends**...

We chose to seat on the top of the ferry which is on the **third floor** rather than the **air-conditioned room** on the **first floor**. Why? We want to enjoy the **view** and the **fresh air**. 🌬 And because we want to get a kick out of every minute of every day... 🤭 we **rove around** the ferry. Even though it was a **little bit dizzying** because of the ferry's motion... We took advantage of taking pictures on every corner of the sea.

This is in **front** of the ferry. We got a little hesitant at first posing in this area as the **captain** of the ferry will be **blocked**. But they were so kind and advised us to continue doing what we prefer. Just don't pose or stand near the front mirror as it can **completely block** the captain. So we did a lot of capturing here and there. **Discover** a lot of the ferry's functions. Lol. And yeah. We enjoyed it. Ohh by the way, I'm with my **ex-boyfriend**... And we copied the **titanic pose**. 😅

This **position** was so **hard to obtain** coz his hands are so long while mine was short. Lol. But yeah... The **photographer** does her job so well and gets the **right angle** of it. 😅 Anyway... It's **11:44** in the morning so the **heat** was so **sharp**. But we didn't notice coz we're just enjoying it. We saw a **new spot** which is in the **back** of the ferry. It is a beautiful place to took a picture so we grab the opportunity to capture it around.

Trying hard models. Lol. Anyway... As we arrived at Catanduanes, we eat our lunch or snacks I think. Then go to a hotel. Our friend's wedding will be held on Tuesday so we need to prepare the location and see what we can assist with. We are assigned to create a **photo booth** **with paper flowers**. And here's the result.

Some also assembled the **centerpiece** and the **table numbers**...

We end up so late and decided to go home and rest. The wedding will be held at 1:00 pm but still, we need to sleep and prepare some more. The time came, the **bride** was all set and ready to **submit** herself without any doubt.

She is one of my **close friends** and I got amazed at how she end up beautifully this time. Lol. Anyway, their wedding becomes so solemn and enjoyable.

It ends up **successfully** and we're so happy for both of them. Another day has come... We're going to rove around Catanduanes.  The **new couple** wants to entertain us and offer some tour. And we got excited coz we love wandering. First destination... **Luyang Cave Park**

This cave is one of the tourist attractions in Catanduanes. It is located below the San Andres-Virac highway. It was so **dark** inside that we need to use our **phone's flashlight**. As we enter the cave, the **bat's pee** was already approaching us. A lot of bats were living in the cave. They were everywhere. And you know what? My father reacted as we were walking that some bats released a **bad odor**. And we discovered that they keep on **pooping**. Lol. Gross. Anyway, that made us decide to go out. We don't want to adopt the not-so-good smell from that cave. 🤢 So we just took pictures outside... For souvenirs.

Next destination... **Sakahon Beach**

The first plan is to swim here. But as we compute the time we will spend, we decided to choose the last destination that they propose. So we just consume a few hours here to eat our lunch then go to the next destination. We also took some pictures as a souvenir.

Last destination... **Binurong View Point**

This one is the **most recommended** destination in Catanduanes. Every person that I ask for a tourist attraction suggested this. But before you can see this beautiful view... You need to walk for **25 minutes**. That time gives us a hard time. It's not easy to walk on the path. A lot of **difficult and slippery soil** we passed. I didn't prepare for it, so I just got a **slipper**. The tourist guide also gives us a **stick**.

That's the reason behind it. We need the stick to prevent us from slippery. It's a good thing I have my **boyfriend** that time who **assists** me and **helps** me along the way. But I swear... The view was beautiful but the **struggle** along the route is **not enjoyable**. 🤕 I think I will not come back here anymore. But maybe it's just that slippery that day because it **rained**. Anyway, based on the **tour guide**... There are **three different points** here around the landscape. This is the **first** one:

The **second** one:

And the **third** one:

We all **visit** those points. It's **showering** that day, so a little bit slippery on the way. But we enjoyed it. Taking pictures on every corner of it. We just **ignore the weather** and appreciate everything on it. The **waves** on the sea, the fresh **air**, the **rock** formation... Everything is **beautiful**. Not until we need to go coz it's getting **dark**, and it's not safe to walk on a dark path. So yeah... We walk again for another **25 minutes** until we reached the entrance. Going back is a little bit easy. We memorized the difficulties so we know how to **handle** them. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the view. I love Catanduanes, and a lot more tourist attractions there I want to visit. **The lesson I learned:** `Always grab the opportunity to rove different destinations. Time will come that you will be proud to tell your kids how you enjoy your childhood. How you use your time to learn and visit other places. How beautiful it is to tour around and know a different kind of attractions. Also, don't limit yourself to stuck in one corner. Try to use every minute to enjoy the surroundings. Capture every angle of it. Take picture of yourself for souvenirs. Coz we don't know the future. Just like now, we can't do the sightseeing as we're experiencing this pandemic. So your memories will be the only thing to help you think that you didn't waste any minute when everything is normal.` That's all for now. Thanks for being with me today. ❤
