Aside from baler, another city in aurora has been making its name to the public.

meet dingalan aurora, the batanes of the east.

OH DIBA kung wala ka pang budget for batanes, mag dingalan ka muna bes :)

for 1100 pesos malilibot mo na sya trust me :)

so we joined a tour in facebook, at first i was hesitant to push through pero dahil this place is in my bucket list tinuloy ko na kahet medyo maulan. we're 5, ako si kim, diego, ate yam and her husband.

july 8, 2017 It was a gloomy saturday, but it was just perfect di mainit di ren masyadong maulan (kala ko lanG) hahaha

it is almost a 5 hour drive from cubao araneta to the city proper, medyo di maganda ang biyahe cause i was sitting at back part of the van at sobrang alog. kaya ayon nasuka ang lola mo,

sa labas ng van thank God.

we started the day with a breakfast, then our first stop is the port of aurora where a small boat is waiting for us, na magdadala samen sa pinaka island where we will have to trek for almost 20 minutes to reach the parola or light house of dingalan.

It was a typical light house, sad part is we cant go up because there is some problem with the....

(actually nakalimutan ko na) wait tanungin ko lang si diego baka online,

wait. eto na sabi niya

"Ah dati daw kasi nung marami naakyat dun meron umakyat sa solar panel tinungtungan eh nasira kaya simula nun pinagbawalan na umakyat dun."

oh may reason nA galing sa pinsan ni dora hahahaha

but dont be sad kung di nyo maakyat ung light house the best part isnt about that..

are you ready?

There!

Just ignore the girl. kala naman nya kinapayat nya ung pagtalikod nya. hahahaha

but ya, who will not fall in love with that view.

the weather plus the wind plus the ambiance was just perfect

kung pede lang magstay dito mag hapon, mag camp and just watch the sun set and how the stars conquer the sky is equal to be one of the best days of my life.

thank you for this wonderful creation lord!

you never fail to amaze me!

but wait there's more, after that place, we head back to the island and rode the boat again to visit the cave they have been talking about. the lamao cave.

actually this is not a normal cave as what youre thinking, and i call it bunch of caves because before you head to the lamao cave you will encounter cute caves along the way.

The waves are quite strong so we have to slow down and wait for the right moment and place where we can try to swim pero bago ung picture picture muna.

On our way to the cave, i just cant help to admire the green (what do you call that?) hahaha

the green kabundukan hahaha sobrang ganda nya promise. speechless kahet antok na antok na ko sa boat ride.

so there after that we finally reach our point where we can stop and enjoy the water.

swimming time!

after that, balik port na for lunch.

the last stop will be the tanawan falls :)

simpleng falls lang to but the catch is the water.

sobrang clear and lameg.

sobrang refreshing yung lahat ng stress mo sa life maAalis :)

best way to end the day to!

all in all this trip is really relaxing, kahet nakakapagod.

it is nice meeting you aurora!

im planning to go back pag ayos na ang light house!

see you again!

Thanks also for mmc tour and travel for making this possible :)
