We squeezed in a side trip to Abucay Church when we were in Bataan. Reason for that is because my Aunt’s maiden name is Abucay and  that Abucay Church has a history to tell.

The first time we went to Bataan was when we did an overnight camping at Stella Mariz Beach Resort . There are other wonderful attractions in this province, but what got my interest in coming back is this hotel located at the heart of the City of Balanga - The Plaza Hotel. photo grabbed  from The Plaza Hotel's website.  http://www.theplazahotelbalanga.com/ Stunning, isn't it?

Day 3 - Nov 22, 2015 After we checked out our stuff that morning and settled our bills at Travelbee Inn, we stayed at their restaurant while waiting for the van to bring us to Dakak Park Beach Resort for an overnight stay.

Day 2 - Nov 21, 2015 We were clueless as to how the tour would go here in Dapitan. Because in my experience travelling to other provinces, usually there is a fixed price. Like in the City tour in Puerto Princesa for instance. So, that morning, after breakfast, we just stood at the corner of the street beside Travelbee Inn and hailed the first tricycle in sight.

  Day 1 - Nov 20, 2015 It was an APEC week. Most of the domestic and international flights by Airline Carriers were cancelled for three consecutive days to make way to the Delegate's arrival, utilizing the NAIA International Airport. Good thing, our flight wasn't on the list of the cancelled flights posted on CebuPacific's websites. But that didn't ease my worries. I still had to check their website up to the last minute before we left the house to make sure. Nobody wants to be stuck in the airport, anyway. Also, we had to leave early to avoid road closures in EDSA and near NAIA roads, which is also APEC related. Expected departure 1:15PM.  Expected Arrival 2:10 PM.
