a slice of heaven in Dicasalarin Cove

mishaps of the tenderfeet -- the Mt. Pulag climb

it was 5pm when we arrived at the Ambangeg Ranger Station, the jump-off point for hiking Mt.

not your ordinary first-timer waves -- surfing in Sabang, Baler

doing it like a pro

 
as i mentioned in my previous post, this was the main event of our Baler trip. surfing, yay! we almost lost the chance to do this because of the weather but as it turned out, it made it all the more exciting.

Baler went beyond my expectations. before i got to visit it, i had this prejudice of the place as boring and just plain historical. i was right that it's a little boring there, but it's not just all about the remnants of the past that the place can offer. and i'm not just talking about surfing for which it is also known. Baler has magnificent spots which it can truly boast about.
