Visiting Baler - Day 0 (February 22, 2014)

Jhune and I wanted to try other sport after we had an Ice Skating lesson at Mall of Asia Ice Skating Rink. Surfing came across to his mind. Me as a failure in ice skating, had to think it twice but I still say “oo bah”. I was bluffing by then because it’s just one of our dreams that might not come true. Our 7^th anniversary pass by, then Christmas, and then here comes my birthday. He said, “ we should try surfing in Baler on your birthday”. I was hesitant but why not give it a chance? We had to postpone it because I have other things to do on my birthday. Instead, we agreed to pursue it 2 weeks after my birthday or 1 week after valentines. I made the itineraries and finding accommodations.

How to go to Baler, Aurora

Only Genesis transport travels from Manila to Baler and they have two types of buses, the Regular Aircon Bus and the Deluxe bus or the Joy bus. I was tempted to booked seat at Joy bus through pinoytravel.com but I didn’t pursue it because I think I can use my 250.00 savings (500 for the two of us) on other important things.

So we try our luck at Genesis transport.

We left home at 10 pm and arrived at Genesis transport at 11:15 pm. We immediately approached the guard on duty and he gave us our queue number which we assumed as our seat number, but unfortunately not.   At exactly 12 midnight, the guard calls the queuing number and we were able to choose our seat.  At 12:30 we are off to Baler.
