grabbed from Wikipedia  When I hear "Baler", one word comes to mind -- SURFING!!!! Baler is the provincial capital of Aurora, located at the Eastern part of Central Luzon. Because of its killer waves, it has become one of the top surf spots in the Philippines. Best time to come is September - March. How we reached Baler? My friends rode a bus, while me and husband brought our car. Bus departed from Cubao terminal at 3AM, while we left our home in Marilao, Bulacan at 3:30 AM. Via Bus: My friends met at Genesis Bus Terminal in Cubao at around 2AM, Saturday of July 23, 2016. Bus left at 3AM, their first trip. Bus leaves every hour.

July 2, 2016. Saturday , when we drove all the way from Bulacan to Quezon Province to visit one of the most go-to places in the area -- Villa Escudero Plantation and Resort . Villa Escudero promises a feel of the Philippine culture, offers many activities and attractions. We got there quite easily. Having passed through the similar route when we went to Cagbalete Island few years ago (see post here ), this place is familiar to us. On board our private vehicle, we drove via SLEX, exited at Sto. Tomas and continued onto South until we reached Tiaong, Quezon. We left the house in Bulacan at 4:30 AM, had a quick stop in a gas station along SLEX for around 30 minutes and arrived in Villa Escudero Mc Donald's at 8:30 AM. We decided to eat our breakfast before heading towards Hacienda Escudero's main gate, which is only 250 meters away from McDonald's.
