Randal is off giving a boat tour to some New Zealanders so I get the computer for a bit!  So to continue with the Puerta Galera adventure…..

After Tamaraw Falls we went on to Ponderosa Golf Club with a stop first to pick up our new dinghy anchor.  Randal had supplied the materials for the shop to use and they made a wonderful little anchor.The labor cost $8.

The welding shop on the road out PG that went on to Calapan.

Carol with the anchor.  It looks vaguely like something to ward off vampires! 

Then on to the Ponderosa Golf Club.  Carol is a golfer and had been told about its beautiful setting on a mountainside. 

“Ponderosa Golf Club Puerto Galera has been cut out of the mountain, nearly 2,000 feet above sea level.

It overlooks the stunning  Puerto Galera and in the distance you can see Batangas on the island of Luzon.”       It’s a nine hole par 3 course.

  This is the view from the top of the mountain.  One of those little boats is Doramac.

It was a lovely setting.  Not sure if this was a private home or part of the course.  We could see a wonderful empty room with a tile floor, and lots of windows as the top floor.

  What a great room!  You could paint, do yoga, read, stare into space!

  Not far from where Carol is standing is the T.  The hole is down the mountain!  Some tough course.

  The owner was American and a fan of the show. (I think.)

Our next stop, and last of day 2 was White Beach.
