Baler indeed has a colorful history and we were able to savor it by a short walking tour from Museo Baler to Aurora Quezon House. Our energy were drained by the overwhelming narrations so we asked locals where to eat lunch. Tricycle drivers are my immediate sources on this kind of scenarios every time I…

The journey didn’t end there as we needed to brave the gigantic waves…
We were on the comforts of our beds and just had a refreshing shower that implies a too-lazy-to-go-out syndrome.
