Baler, Aurora

It's my second time in Baler, Aurora. Last year that I've been there was not so fun because we were sort of "lured" and "kidnapped" by a religious group who wants to "evangelize" us and be one of them. Sounds like a cult huh. We felt betrayed at the time, but I don't want to talk about it here. Maybe some other time.

The road going to Aurora (formerly part of the Quezon province) is narrow, rough, steep, and uncemented. You need a SUV, bus or trucks to ensure a safe and anti-vomit trip.

The road is a work-in-progress since last year:

A little progress in every 10 kilometers with only half of the road cemented:




The Sierra Madre mountain range in the morning--takes my breath away!



We stayed in Bay's Inn in Sabang, Baler--the favorite and common surfing spot in Aurora



Bay's Inn has WiFi, good accommodation with affordable rates



The good surfers are the locals:







This dude is so cool! Parang nakatayo lang sa waves o!


The pa-cute guys/gals just lie on their surfboards:




Next year if I go back here, I will try to brave the waves to surf. The surfing lesson with instructor is Php300.
