Batanes: Stairway to Heaven

We went to Batanes last June. The beauty and starkness of the Batanes group of Islands is inviting. And to capture what it looked like cannot be captured by pictures alone, one should go there for himself or herself to truly appreciate its beauty. I remember very clearly how the rugged hills, well-landscaped shrubs and trees, endless horizon, white at sometimes stony beaches and blue waters paint the surroundings like great art masterpieces. It cannot be described by words. I remember too how fresh the air you breathe. How people preserved their ancestral environment of their homes. Life in Batanes is indeed peaceful, enchanting and satisfying. I think it is the next eco-tourism spot, Filipinos should visit.
