Every time I hear the word
"mangrove", I think of
"mandrakes". You know the ones that shriek so loud they could melt your earwax? Ew. (If you're a muggle, you won't get that reference. Oops!) The Mangrove Conservation and Ecotourism Area was the second stop in our
Puerto Galera day trip and for some reason it brought me back to my high school days when we'd go on mangrove planting trips as a class. That and I got to pretend I was in a real life version of
Temple Run sans the scary creatures.
I particularly loved this stop for several reasons: (a) the view was pristine, (b) the Mangrove Conservation and Ecotourism Area was equal parts jungle, sky and sea, and (c) the photos turned out best thanks to mister sun. There's also something about bamboo bridges and pathways that really interest me. I can't pinpoint why but I just do. Anyone else loves how they lightly creak at the touch of your feet? *Yes, I'm weird.*
Sorry. You can't play
"Despacito" in this neck of the woods! Hihi. The trail wasn't that long but right around the middle lies a small hut where people can rest, camp out and catch their breath. Beside it is a ladder that leads to the ocean. My cousin and I took the plunge and the water was pretty cool which was the perfect respite for that warm and humid day.
I really don't know what else to say (My brain goes on hiatus during the weekends.) so I'll let these photos speak for themselves. That or you can watch our vlog here:
