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 white men with their Filipina companion. The waitresses were all thin pretty girls in bathing suits with wrap around short skirt. We only go there because its the nearest beach. The hotel was okay. 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.

Dale stepped on a sea urchin on the beach and we got scared so we decided to swim in the pool instead.

Anawangin
Its not a very touristy area yet. Thats why i like it

Anawangin
Its a four hour hike through the mountain range if you choose to go there by foot. Or you can sail from Pundaquit to get to Anawangin

Anawangin
This is place is bound to get more commercial very soon after being featured on tv. I lot of my friends have already been there. Word of mouth travels really fast

hi...
nabasa ko yung travel blog mo dun about sa zambales, it was nice, medyo nakakaoffend lang yung about sa Angeles City, yung particular area sa Angeles City na tinutukoy mo na "littered with hookers" is fields avenue, hindi buong Angeles sex den, sana nagpunta na lang kayo sa mimosa or fontana, nakakalungkot lang at meron ganitong part sa Angeles, sensya na hometown ko kasi ang Angeles City.
