Basco Batanes Island Day Tour Itinerary with My Photochromic Transitions Lenses!

I was thrilled that I got to try my first Transitions Lenses and travel to Batanes both for the first time last month. I was introduced to photochromic technology at a time when I've conveniently forgotten that my eyes play an integral part in my wandering life. I cannot do OOTDs but I promise you a glimpse of some of the most useful (and comfy) travel gear I've collected over the past couple of years in this blog. I'm happy to say that my new pair of Transitions XTRActive adaptive lens eyeglasses (there are 2 types of Transitions Lens available in the Philippines, see here) made it to my travel staples packing list (you do have one of those, right?)! My short trip to Batanes was spent seeing what's in front of me and my lifestyle (from outside in) in a different light. We were able to cover a lot of places and have that chill island vibe in 2 whole days ;) Here's Day 1 where we toured the places in Batan (where Basco is located in the Batanes group of islands).

Flying SkyJet Airlines to Basco, Batanes! #LifeInTheBestLight #FlySkyjet

Planning to go to Batanes soon? Consider flying SkyJet Airlines! I've heard of SkyJet a few years ago prior to PAL's entry to the Basco (Batanes) route and so, I was glad that I finally got to experience it for the first time on this Batanes adventure. It's a dream for many of us Pinoys to set foot on this group of islands found at the northernmost tip of the Philippines. There never seemed to be a perfect timing for me though until this year to get here. Arriving by a jet-powered plane, as two of the seasoned travel bloggers in this trip said, had a higher chance that our flights won't get cancelled with the unpredictable Batanes weather. I was afraid the December "winter" season meant very cold winds and storms but (maybe we're just really lucky) there was none of that AT ALL...
