CALATAGANDA – How to relax in Calatagan, Batangas

A starting motor startled me awake, I lifted my head to see the orange sunrise cresting over the mangroves, chasing away the black night sky.  This is what it is like waking up on the floating house in Barangay Gulod.  We spent the night watching the meteor shower, fell asleep to the gentle rocking of the boat, peered at the stars from our beds, and slept soundly with the gentle ocean breeze.

Jesse, my colleague and friend, runs a local tourism agency and provides floating accommodation. Essentially, it is a barge with an open air shelter constructed on it.  There is a cooking area, bedrooms, and a bath. There is even a lofted deck area where you can watch the stars.  The floating house is anchored in a protected coastal area, bordered by mangroves, and filled with anchored fishing bankas.

When we finally roused ourselves from bed, we were able to kayak and SUP around the protected bay. Theresa was visiting from Manila and we spent most of the day leisurely suspended in hammocks.

Chico, the artist from the comic workshop, was there too.  The pictures I have included were taken by Chico in Gulod.

    Hi there. If you want to try your luck, there is no better place for it than Casimba Сasino Review. It’s a very good, verified and trustworthy platform, that is always paying the reward to its players. I’ve been playing on that casino for many years, and I have never met any problems. There are actually a lot of really good casino’s on the internet, you just have to search for them. But be careful, because there is a lot of scam on the internet, whose only target is to take as much money from you as they can. Always read the reviews.

    The sunset, the ability to walk off your deck into the water and the porch swing plus hammock were the best part of the resort. It was full of passion. We ordered room service and the meal was fairly decent. UK dissertation
