Sabtang Island, Batanes
Next day, we went to Sabtang Island, some 30-minute boat ride from Batan. A jeepney, which we shared with another group, was already arranged by our tour guide once we got there. The next hours were a bumpy and dusty ride around the island.
Our first stop was at village of Savidug to check out some traditional Ivatan houses which were built with limestone walls and cogon roofs. They look sturdy enough to withstand the frequent typhoons that visit the island.

We then went to Nakabuang beach to eat the set lunch that was also arranged by our tour guide. The sun was too harsh at that time so we spent most of our time here under the arch by the beach.

We were back in Batan at around 4 PM. Later that night, we decided to eat dinner at Naidi hills, since the lighthouse and sunset were just irresistible to pass (despite some pesky mosquitoes). It was nice way to end the day.
