Video: Sabtang on the Road
Road View to Chavayan
I just can’t get enough of Batanes so I’m making another post on Sabtang. If I really have enough time, I would spend months just exploring all the corners of the islands of Batanes. Here’s a video of what is like traversing the road to Chavayan, the southern town in the charming little island of Sabtang. That coastal road scene just sticks in your mind. Also included is a short drive to Nakanmuan natural arc at the white beach. Video after the jump.

For some reason, I can’t upload the larger high quality file in youtube so this one will do for now, until I get the larger file online. Hope you guys enjoy the video.

Brings back memories of 2002 when we went to Batanes…
Sabtang took my breath away… The first pic here is exactly what was imprinted on my mind after we have left the islands of Batan and Sabtang.
Hope you had pictures of the ancient Ivatan Fortresses called IDJANG, Ferdz. Wasn’t able to go to one as we were in a hurry to catch the ONLY boat out of Sabtang that day.
Beautiful place, Batanes is.

Just saw the vid. The road had no “cemented barrier” on the side, then in 2002. Which made the trip all the more perilous, but thrilling.
Thanks, Ferdz, for this video!
