About This Blog
Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!

Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.

More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

    Camarines Norte: The Cold Waters of Mampurog River in Club Noah, San Lorenzo Ruiz

    After resting for a while and preparing for lunch in Daet, Tutubi and his friends rode a tricycle to the terminal of San Lorenzo Ruiz-bound jeepneys. The road to Club Noah, the name of the resort on the banks of Mampurog River, was filled with potholes and very rural looking.

    the sign of Club Noah prominently displayed on the Daet-Mampurog road with rates and telephone numbers

    After a few minutes of soaking in the cold water of the rocky stream and few photo opportunities, decided to eat lunch, again took pictures then hurried off to ride the jeepney back to Daet's famous Bagasbas Beach.


    the cold water of the river, actually just a sapa (stream), is a favorite of locals for picnics and escape from the searing summer sun

    a common site in the Philippines: men drinking while soaking in rivers and lakes

    Next pitstop: Bagasbas Beach


    A similar resort, named Sinagtala resort, can also be found in the town of Labo, also a jeepney ride away from Daet.

    looks like the walk going to the river is quite long.

    Looks like a good way to cool down: having a picknick in the river.
