Haller Baler!

Little did we know before this summer surfing adventure, Baler is 7 hours away from Manila with no available bus seat reservation and the trip schedules are limited. So we had to go to the bus terminal as late as 12mn. Finally seeing  the almost endless shore washed away our stress :)

Baler is a popular surfing spot for beginners. Unlike the wild ones in Zambales, these waves are friendly and timid which got me a little bored (yabang aside). Also, Baler beach during summer is populated.

Baler is a little town also known for its cuisines - from seafoods, lutong-bahay foods and veggies to cocktails and other mixes. Most restos here are jam-packed during peak season. Going around the town is not a problem because there are lot of tricycle drivers who are always ready to take you anywhere you ask them to.

Aside from surfing, we also did some 30-minute trekking to the Mother Falls. Trekking was composed of narrow rocky road, slippery rocks, river crossing, and an ice cold falls!

This Baler adventure is one of the treasured moments with friends. Thank you Baler esp. to the friendly inn owner, resto servers and kuya tricycle drivers! :) #itsmorefuninthephilippines
