The challenge of reaching Batanes

August 11, 2015- the day I booked for my flight going to Basco, Batanes

August 20 - scheduled departure day from Manila to Basco.
- it was cancelled due to super typhoon Ineng (Goni)

August 23 - re-booked but cancelled due to weather condition.

August 26 - finally reached Basco, Batanes.

The excitement as I finally reached the northernmost part of Philippines. I've never been this far, if I didn't take the challenge to go and push through with it.
The sweetness of traveling here, is following your passion and the joy of your heart to explore new things.

At first, my Mother disapproved my itinerary going here. Well, my Father was on my side so I stick to my plan, and thanks God I am here.
