Dona Aurora House, Ermita Hill,Oldest Balete Tree, Hanging Bridge & Aniao Islet.  

 ( Natalie's Memorable Baler Trip 2017)

What makes my Baler Trip memorable? Aside from my "buwis buhay" adventure on my trekking and climbing the peak of 2 famous Falls in Aurora and especially my first surfing experience that I got wounded.
I had written a four part series of my blog article for my Baler Trip last year because no words can describe how beautiful their province is. If you like to experience a risky summer adventure up north, definitely visit Aurora Baler.

Bahay Kubo near Museo De Baler
Here are some amazing photos that we took that makes me fall in love with Baler, over and over again. And, I'm sure, you'll fall in love with this beautiful province.


We started our tour on Nov.12, Sunday. Its a long weekend for me, because its ASEAN Summit, no Gov't work in the hospital.

Inside the House of Dona Aurora
Our 1st stop is at Dona Aurora House, I entered the house and tour the place a little bit to take some pictures of some memorabilia. And, I noticed a big frame with a poem written on it. As a poet, i love reading poems and creating one. That is why, I take glance and I was able to capture it on my mobile phone.

Poem by Dona Aurora
Then, we went in Museo De Baler on the same day. Here's the link for (Click Link👉)  museo-de-baler , a separate blog, I've written another story because no words can contain how magnificiently wonderful each masterpiece was created.


All the Art Exhibit is magnificiently beautiful and hand painted. I can't resists admiring those paintings. For me,  those Art brings profound joy and serenity into my spirit.

Ermita Hill
Meanwhile, we also went to Ermita Hill, this is the highest place in Baler. Locals go here to find refuge especially if there's a strong typhoon that will strike the province. There's a story, way back decades ago that only one family was saved during the tsunami as they climb the hill.


Ermita Hill, a place for relaxation and to breathe fresh air of Aurora.Also, there's a Gazebo on the side for sight seeing wherein you can see the whole view of Baler from the port and each barangays.

Baler Hanging Bridge
Our next destination is the Hanging Bridge. I can't believe, I was able to walk on that narrowed route. It's so shaky and scary. I was too careful because any wrong movements. I might fall on the river. So, you need to calculate your steps and hold on tight on the rope at the side. But, the best part is, the view is so spectacular.


The View of Baler Hanging Bridge



Even, its so nerve wrecking. I was able to strike a pose. Look at my photos. Also, we met little children who sells nipa fruit for 5 pesos each. I never thought that the fruit of Nipa could be eaten..we tasted it, its like macapuno.  See photos below.

Aniao Islet
Then, for our 4th stop on our 1st Day,  we went to Aniao Islet, its near the shoreline. Its one of the tourist spots here in Baler. We went their to take a swim, the ocean water is quite warm and salty because its already afternoon, high tide is expected very soon.

Aniao Islet with beautiful skies, waters &
mountains in the background
I was so fascinated with Aniao Islet, one of God's greatest creations in Baler wherein you can see the blue sky above and the black silhoutte of the islets in the water. Its quite difficult to hop from one rock formation to another because its slippery and wet. So, just be very careful. Primarily, the place is ideal for a fabulous profile  pictorial.

Sabang Beach
On the 3rd Day,  our final adventure trip, I went surfing, here's the link for my first surfing experience in Baler. (Click Link👉)  Surfing in Sabang Beach 2017 I'm so proud on myself that I was able to conquer my fear as I battled the strong waves of the beach.

Highway going to Ditumabo Falls, Aurora

For our last final stop, we went in Ditumabo Falls & Balete Tree, here's my blog link article about my buwis buhay trekking  with 2 Great (Click Link👉) Baler Waterfalls  & the famous Balete Trees whose still alive up to this days.

Balete Tree with the student locals

It was planted centuries ago. Look how big, old and tall the trees had been, all throught out the ages.

Majestic waves of Sabang Beach
My vacation is worth it. I was able to explore Baler Aurora. I was able to test my physical skills. Even, after I experienced DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) after our adventure, I was able to recharged my body. I've surrounded by nature for this past few days. And, its so precious. I felt renewed and energized,ready to face the world,the reality I'm livin' in.

But, my Baler Excapades will not be complete without eating Baler's Food Menu and Delicacies. Here's the food that we tasted.

    Voyager avec votre famille est une expérience unique qui peut vous aider à vous sentir rajeuni et énergique pour prendre l’année à venir. Il vous aide à vider votre esprit, à vous détendre et à repenser vos objectifs et vos priorités pour vous assurer de vivre pleinement votre vie. Parfois, un problème que vous aviez laissé avant de partir pour le voyage pouvait sembler plus clair, et avec une nouvelle pensée, vous pourriez trouver une solution simple. Randonnées martinique

Waves of My Life!!!

Storm is swiftly passing in the shore. The currents has been disturbed with enormous wind. The huge waves is continuously sweeping the sand castle. As it slowly, break into tiny pieces and fastly dissolving. Replacing as bodies of water.  I love staring at the sunset. Watching the waves of waters rushing near the beach, as it melt down like ice. That creates a beautiful sound. Wherein, different shades of color are seen in the horizons before it closes another day. New sunrise will unfold. As I waited each morning. Whenever, I'm in the province, its like I'm livin' in a different world. I've felt so close to our creator. He makes me realized that each day brings a new beginnings. To love deeply, to learn from all your wrong decisions & mistakes, to  be grateful for each morning, to be thankful for every obstacles that makes who we are, so we can be more braver to face life. To take  deep breathe for a new journey ahead. To realized that each waves brings

When life brings you a lot of heartaches and pain. And, you felt, you need to breathe-in and dissapear. Go to a different place you've never been. Chill and unwind. Visit a higher place, where you can find a relaxing view and drink some cold drinks. Listen with your favorite accoustic songs. Be lost for a minute and feel the rhythm of your heart. Enjoy and set your spirit free. Free from all the miseries, betrayal, disloyalty, dishonesty and lies that surrounds you.  Visiting this place, brings back good and sad memories. But, I'd rather write good stories rather than to dwell on my past memories. Let's say, this place let's you realized that honesty and friendship can break all the boundaries. Some can freed themselves from guilt but other's is still trying to cope with the lost of trust and loyalty from a friend. But, time heals all wounds. Days will pass, all scar will be healed.
