Grandpa has visited us again.

I really appreciate his visits everytime. He would bring a lot of things from Japan, most of them are fresh things. He is our supplier of all things Japanese. First agenda on our list for his vist is a visit to Puerto Gallera. We stayed in Dreamwave Hotel.

Since it was a holiday, there were so many people in Puerto Gallera. It seems that hundred of people arrived every hour in different boats. There were some who were playing beach volleyball, some were even doing their teambuilding activities right in the middle of the beach. It was a fun and nice view to look at.

There were so plenty of things to do in Puerto Gallera. We did snorkeling, swimming, and even got hena tatoo. One time, while swimming, Grandpa caught a starfish! People thought we got it from snorkeling... but we didnt! Snorkeling is pretty easy. The corals below the sea is a sight to behold! Seeing it makes you believe there is another world under the sea!

One thing I love about Puerto Gallera too is that all the local people were very friendly and warm. Yeah, they sell you so many things and even follow you around. Yet, they sometimes give friendly advices and are really accomodating. I simply love how they can braid my hair while I relax in the middle of the beach.

Everything in Puerto Gallera is perfect! Food and accomodation are affordable. Locals are very friendly. The downside, though, is that the vendors tend to follow you everywhere you go. All vendors of all kind here in Puerto Gallera have the skills of a stalker! Just when you thought you lost them already, the popped out in the most unexpected moments.

I had a blast in Puerto Gallera! I swam to my heart's content, meet new friends, and had lots of shells for souvenir! It was a perfect place to bring my Grandpa in and spend some quality time together. I wish we would visit anytime soon again!
