#829 - Dingalan Shots for Thursday.

Greetings once again this gloomy evening dearest Hiveans. Lady weekend after I ended my shift on a Sunday morning, my wife and I together with a friend went out for another adventure and this time in Dingalan which is about a four hour travel time. We passed by Bocaue Bulacan to pick up our friend and then went straight to our destination. I didn't have any sleep that evening when I was on shift so I took an energy drink instead to compensate the tiredness and also to fend off the possibility of falling asleep. We made several quick stops along the way for me to jump around and make sure I am fully awake all the way.

When we arrived it was still too early and the transient house we were staying at only accept visitors before two in the afternoon so we first go around the town and then went to this Pacific viewpoint that they say is where the greatest view can be seen. From the town where the dock or port is located, we had to drive atleast twenty minutes to the mountains where the viewpoint is located. The road is zigzag and there were many visitors also mostly were bikers.

When we arrived, there is s guide fee of three hundred pesos that the locals were asking. So we agreed plus there is also an entrance fee of fifty pesos to the owner of the land where the viewpoint stood. Then we spent much about less than an hour here taking photos as much as we could since the view is breath taking.

We had also some couple shots taken by our friend. We were all sweaty when we arrived because the trek is a bit stretched and the temperature was warm even though it was cloudy. On the background is where a lighthouse is located and that's where the first viewpoint was located. A boat ride is needed to get there and that's also the second place we went to after this area.

Just me all sweaty and my slippers too. We didn't brought the correct gear for climbing so we just came here with what we have. I got jeans and a long sleeve shirt with the magnificent view behind me.
