Trip to the Philippines

5 to 30 april 2012

 

4 - Port Barton, Taytay 

 

After two lazy days in paradise it's time to get moving again. Secret Paradise deafening bangka takes us to

Port Barton, another beach and another sunset. It looks like a nice place but we don't stop long enough to take a

proper look around. The morning after we take an "offroad" jeepney to Roxas on a really muddy road. 

From here, by minivan we reach Taytay.

 

Taytay has a spanish fortress, a little harbour complete with fishing village on stilts, a pier, some ambitious and 

derelict attempt at a shopping mall, and no tourists. 

You could do nice boat trips to the islands and land trips to the surroundings, but we only stay half a day so we 

just wander around town. 

The heat is unbearable...  We spend hours (in the shade) at a simple seaside restaurant and make the most of

our room's panoramic porch at the "Casa Rosa".
