I was supposed to eat at a canteen in Sabtang, pero since fiesta nung pumunta ko, I asked him if pwedeng i-skip yung canteen at maki-fiesta. He took me to his house and wow! May malalaking lobsters!

NOTES:
- Do not forget your water bottles. During tours wala masyadong bilihan especially sa south. Kung meron man, walang water puro softdrinks and juice.
- To save on lunch, you can tell your guide na ayaw mo magpa-reserve ng lunch (ang reserved lunch kasi 300 PHP agad, malaki yung serving, pang 2 pax actually. Pero if you're going solo, believe me, di mo sya mauubos. Matakaw na ko pero sumuko ako.)
- You can have your Batanes shirts personalized if bibili ka sa Bisumi Souvenir Shop sa Basco. But wait there's more! 20 PHP lang ang pag-customize per shirt, for 200 PHP meron ka nang cotton-personalized-batanes-shirt, pwede rin sya sa dry-fit and yung ibang shirts nila dun.
- Merong masarap na BBQ malapit sa BeeHan, di ko maalala yung exact address pero siya yung pinaka-malapit na nagtitinda ng BBQ sa BeeHan. Nasa street sya sa likod ng BeeHan. Mura! 10 PHP may ulam ka na.
- Kung magaling ka sa timing, you can get your airfare for as low as 2K RT! Yung ibang kasabay ko, magagaling at matiyaga!
Magkano yung atv rental?
