We were booked on the 12.30 boat from Mindoro back to Batangas Pier. A lot of us were leaving and the staff did seem genuinely sad to say goodbye. They came out to the beach to wave us off and didn't stop waving until we were out of sight. We are really going to miss the sunset resort and I'm sure we will be back. Does anyone want to come with us?
The boat went to White Beach where we transferred onto a packed boat. The skies looked grey ahead..... what did I read about overcrowded Filiino boats and storms....
The sea was a bit rough and our bags got a bit wet, but it wasn't too bad. At the pier we got a bus to Manila easily enough and even stocked up on snacks from the multiple vendors hopping on and off the bus. My favourite was a kind of fudge made from jackfruit.
We got off the bus at Magellenes and took a taxi for 5 minutes to our hotel. It's funny being back in civilisation again after a week of barely even wearing shoes.
