Favorite thing: At Diguisit Beach near the islets, there is a nice picnic grove where there are cottages, picnic tables and benches under the coconut and umbrella trees. I sat there for a long time just enjoying the view of the islets, hearing the rampaging waters of the sea, scrutinizing the colors and patterns of rock formations, and watching the clouds in the blue skies.

As the wind blew, the leaves of the coconut and umbrella trees swayed, rendering a fresh feeling to my tired, weary body. The ground at the picnic grove was covered with carabao grass and the sand at the beach wasn't gritty but composed of crushed corals and shells; there was no dust as the wind blew. Even with the bright sun, the place was still refreshingly cool.

I loved the place so much, and hubby remarked that it was one place he could stay the whole day without being bored... We will definitely bring our family and photo buddies to this place.

Fondest memory: I love Baler's unspoiled beauty, and I love the friendly people of Baler. Though we may go to other places, we will never forget enchanting Baler.

Favorite thing: my unexpected accident

Fondest memory: Thank God!!! Nobody was passing by then (since it was very early morning around 6:30am). Accidentally I was throw out from our motorbike due to pressure or impact of the flat tire (‘coz we are moving a little bit fast because the road is all clear 70 kilometers per hour) and I was rolled over 2x… hola! Next thing I know I was laying in the middle of the highway. My husband was asking me “Are you okay?” and then I said, “Yes, I’m fine!” Everybody was in commotion and asking me the same question. When I saw that my husband was okay, it was then that I feel fine and telling everybody I’m okay so I stood up on my own but first I’m checking myself if I had any broken bone due of the accident. It was then that I’ve felt I had few little scratches from my both knee, right ankle and left shoulder but nothing serious with my head since I wear helmet…(if I don’t? I don’t what will happen to me then). So, they change our flat tire and our friend Al, took care of my scratches then. After 30 minutes that everything is all right we move again (I don’t want to spoil our plan and vacation due of my accident). And told that we have to go on ‘coz we already been delayed for a few minutes and we have a long journey to make it to Baler.

Favorite thing: 8:30am after breakfast, we rode our motorbike and go to Barrio Pangil where you can see their Fish port, Ermita Hills, Weather Radar Satellite monitor and the whole view of town of Baler, coastline and Baler Bay.

Fondest memory: well... I forgot to change for new cloths...lol! as you can see I'm still wearing my sleep wear when I explore the town of Baler...lol! will never forget this moment... I have no extra pants 'coz we need to bring it to tailoring shop for repair.

Favorite thing: you could see this Patron along the highway going to Aurora. Maybe they build this small Patron for traveler’s safety or rather a warning for travelers like us because maybe this place is an accident prone/area. They’d donate flowers and prayers and light candle for all soul who had a mishap in this place. This is rather my own opinion since there is a warning sign attached on the tree that it made me realize why they had this patron in the middle of the road.

Favorite thing: the best vehicle for traveling around Baler or Aurora province is motorbike since this is budget travel and road trip more inexpensive for adventourous people like us... we had the same kind and color of vehicle... take a look at us!

Favorite thing: The weather is not good and looks like it’s going to rain. It rained for few minutes but it stop; but we have to stop over at Cabanatuan City for our late lunch and snack at Mc Donald’s, since it was already 3:00 pm then move on again and going to pass by Gapan, Nueva Ecija. Our next stop is in Arayat, Pampanga for our 2nd and last petrol refilling. No more stop over since our petrol is enough for going home, so we won’t get very late along the highway and very dangerous for us traveling at night. Our diner was already being cooked and prepared at home on schedule time so we have to be home since everybody is hungry and tired from our long journey.

Favorite thing: By 11:30 am – pack up time and ready to leave and go home. We had a very hard journey from Baler, passing by Maria Aurora; going to Pantabangan for our 1st petrol refilling but we stopped again because we had another flat tire.

Fondest memory: while traveling back to our home we pass by in Maria Aurora we saw this view that I have to took because of the unique view I've seen.

Favorite thing: We rented a room at Bahia de Baler. They had a nipa hut house, they had air-conditioned room and clean linen and bathroom.

Fondest memory: You can see in this photo our room to the left door and to the right the desk/ reception area
