Of course there are a few tricycles which seat two slim people in the front seat, and another one behind the driver. however, because gas is expensive in batanes, the tricycles in basco do not go around town looking for passengers; instead, if you need a ride, you send a text message to the tricycle terminal and tell them where you wish to be picked up, and in a few minutes, the trike is there. How convenient is that! Besides, everyone in town knows the contact numbers of the trike terminal.
instead of an airconditioned van, we opted to tour batan island in this big jeep.
this proved to be a wise choice as we had an all-around view of the sights as we went along since it was open on all sides.
and you can even take pictures from a moving jeep...
of course, there's nothing like a sturdy pair of legs for strolling
and for climbing up and down the mountains....
Make sure you bring a sturdy pair of walking shoes for all that walking. Flip-flops sometimes just won't do the trick.
But wait...you mean we're walking all the way up and down there? hmmm...
