A day on Pundaquit | Long Time Gone

The nephew wanted to get out of town and see something new. I had considered taking him to a neighboring island (Bohol) but given the holidays and all just couldn’t fit it in. Instead we took a day trip to nearby Pundaquit (Poon-Dock-It). I had been there once before for a Hash event, but that time we did the mountain trail, not the beach.

***Pundaquit is known for it’s beaches and the “four islands”.***

***…and certainly cleaner than here in Subic. Not pristine by any means, but nice.***

***We had planned on hiring a banka boat for a tour of those islands but the weather was not favorable.***

***In fact, we didn’t see any boats actually on the water…***

***…so we just did us some beach walking and people watching instead.***

***What else you gonna do at the beach?***

***You get what you pay for and walking about was free.***

***Who says slippers don’t grow on trees?***

***We had a decent lunch at an American owned pub/restaurant. The owner personally came over to greet us and chat a bit which I thought was a nice touch. Oh, that’s the nephew and my driver…***

Anyway, it was a nice change of pace I reckon.
