NASUGBU, BATANGAS
We did this trip two summers ago. We started at Munting Buhangin Beach Camp, our favorite getaway in Nasugbu. It’s a nice family beach resort beside Terrazas de Punta Fuego (a way more expensive beach resort that sells condo units and beach huts at around P7Million per member, wow!). Munting Buhangin shares its beach with Terrazas. It’s beach is wide with grey sand and rocky seabed at the far right side. Their accommodations are quite expensive (around P2500 per night) and since we’ve always been the budget-conscious type, we spent the night in our trusty tent instead. You can rent one for P750/night. If you pitch your own, you pay P350. Mer and her new bf then (Brian), brought a military tent that was a bit baffling to put together. Good thing Peter had experience pitching that type of tent so we were all able to relax afterwards. If you need extra cushion, they rent one for P100 each. Not bad eh? After settling down, and having brought our guitar, Mer immediately played with it as we sat on our mat outside our tents and jammed the afternoon heat away. The other activities we did that day when the sun wasn’t that hot anymore consisted of the following: snorkeling, kayaking, water pedalling, swimming and sunbathing. And every time we get hungry, we run to the resort’s restaurant that sells Pinoy dihes at affordable prices. And at night, we just listened to the waves and enjoyed the cool summer air. I tried waking up at around 3am and I saw the moon in its full glory. It was magnificent! I just stared at it for the next thirty minutes until I finally dozed off again. The following morning, we packed our stuff and after breakfast, headed to our next destination.
