Da Best sa Batanes! (TaDi Goes to Batanes Series)

BAYANIHAN REPUBLIC:

"When God created the world, He gave his best in Batanes,"  -- Mandy Navasero

With that quote alone I bet you can already visualize how beautiful the place I will be talking about.  Batanes.  Considered as the smallest province in the Philippines, in terms of land area and population, Batanes is a group of islands located at northern Philippines and south of Taiwan.  It has 10 islands but only 3 are inhabited, Batan, Sabtang and Itbayat.

Marlboro Hills

So what really hooked me in going to Batanes?  It was a magazine article I read years ago when Filipino photographers voted / declared Batanes as the most photogenic place in the Philippines!  I saw the pics and I was just amazed and got intrigued with the beauty of the islands.  Wrongly, I told myself, and my friends that it just looks like New Zealand!  Why did I say wrongly?  Well, because Batanes has a beauty of its own, comparing it with another place is a mortal sin.
