Sabtang

Today I toured Sabtang island. It’s a smaller island south of Batan about 45 minutes by boat. Our boat carries freight and passengers too. Freight today was 110# bags of rice (20), cases of soda, and beer. About 20 guests got on and off using a bucking gangplank. The seas were rough to me (5-6ft waves) and landing was exciting. The island is known for its stone houses and the Ivatan culture. There are some serious headdresses that make you think of Farrah Fawcett  

We had lunch of lobster, pork, fish, rice, cabbage all served on a leaf

There are some amazing overlooks on this island complete with cows and goats. They all are great climbers. There was an 105 year old guy and this 87 year old lady

There are a lot of kids running around too The beach at lunch had a neat arch along with beautiful shells

I’m leaving tomorrow morning for Manila by air, then Bagio by bus. It’s 5 hours and $18. A delux direct bus with first class seating.

  Bagio is in the mountains and will be colder
