TRAVEL PHOTO DIARY: Dingalan, Aurora

Going up Northeast, what fascinates me the most is the abundance of rock formations, mountains and natural feauture of the Philippines. Aurora is famous of having huge sea waves which makes the surfers to stay there. As we went there, it was really a BATANES-look-alike-feature or more likely the Batanes of the East. Going up here, you need to trek for atleast 20-30 minutes and tadaaah you will then sea the famous rock formation of Dingalan plus the view of Pacific ocean!

And hey! I have new found travel buddies! It was really nice to gain new friends while traveling. They welcomed me with warm hearts!
