Vacation Trip In Aurora Baler

Vacation Trip In Aurora Baler 

I Found these pics of my me first and only trip to Baler, Aurora in 2011. It was a family trip so I don't remember much of the details except that I was excited almost all the way down Manila....  Mind you, it's about a 5-6 hour land trip to Baler, but if the driver are tired it can be 8 hours away from manila with the last 3 hours zigzagging all the way up to Aurora! The roads were so bad,because of it.. travel is limited or oftentimes cancelled during rainy season because of landslides...

Anyway, when we got there, the most popular resort along the beach, Bay's Inn, thanks to our sister's in law that they live there with there company(family)....but first you saw the beach there so many resort across the road from the beach. Food sucked. The beach itself was rough even during the supposedly calm season of April,  

 we would hang out in their resto to watch the surfers. Baler then just formed its own surfing team and was starting to compete locally so at any given day, you would see kids half my size surfing the waves with their hand-me-down surfboards.


We went to a couple of beaches, Baler's highest point, a falls and then just went around the quiet town where, up until then, market day would be during Sundays at the town plaza across the church.


on our vacation we almost drowned. It IS a surfer's beach after all. The sand was very fine, almost like Boracay's, but it's black. It was so fine, in fact, that my short got ruined after that trip because the fine particles wouldn't wash off.
