Zambales

Zambales is a province two hours north of Manila. My family likes to spend time there when we get bored during the weekend. The photos here were taken about six months ago. The ones where I had hair was taken a year ago. This is Baloy long beach just outside Angeles city. This is not the right place for you if you're looking for a wholesome time. Angeles is littered with hookers. In the Orchid Garden Hotel where we stayed, most of the guests were old Australians with their Filipina companion. The waitresses were all thin pretty girls in bathing suits with wrap around short skirt. We only go there coz its the nearest beach. The hotel was ok. It costs about 3,600 pesos per night. They have a pool, plasma tv with cable. The bathroom is nice but no bathtub. The food in the restaurant isnt good at all. The last time that we went there we were actually planning to go to Pangasinan but Nestor got tired of driving so we ended up in Baloy. I had fun riding a jetski, 2,700 pesos per hour. I got to explore the place and discovered that just a few miles from where we were staying, the resorts were much better and less crowded. Too bad we ended up in Baloy long beach. Zambales is the most convenient place because its near Manila. Just avoid Baloy and Angeles city, unless youre here for sex tourism.

Just an hour from Baloy is the best place in Zambales. Anawangin cove! Its a relatively new place recently featured on a travel show. Its not a very touristy place yet. I love that place because its so different from the other beaches in the Philippines. Powdery white sand beach with Pine trees instead of Coconut trees await you in Anawangin. Its 30 minutes away from Pundaquit if you sail. The boat ride costs 800 pesos back and forth and a boat can carry 3-4 persons. Its a four hour hike through the mountains if you want to go on foot.
