Laiya, San Juan, Batangas

After so many attempts to visit the place, we were in Laiya at last!

By the way, it's Mother's Day today and that's why the family made it a point to go somewhere to celebrate the occasion. Summer is almost over and we have not visited any beach so, this is it.

We did not make any reservation and just opted for a day tour so we were no longer surprised to know when we arrived at one resort that they were not accepting walk-ins. Hmm, we turned around and a guide took us to another resort but the rooms were already booked until lunchtime so we had no choice but to stay in their open hut.

It was low tide and the beach was already full of swimmers, particularly kids accompanied by their parents. The water was relatively clear but the bottom was rough due to dead corals. We were already far from the shore but the water was still waist-deep. We did not bring any baon. Good thing the restaurant cooked fish sinigang and lechon kawali for us.

So this is Laiya. Another wish was granted.

Happy Mother's Day!
