Surprises Await in Bahay na Bato

This place is nothing like you ever been to, Bahay na Bato in La Union.

Everything is surprising, so let us start walking!

You will be greeted by pathwalk made of stones, arts made of pebbles and instead of grass, all is covered with more stones.

When you are taking someone's picture and they are doing the same!

Isn't this neat?! The one who did this got talent!

More stones.. Make sure to have a silent few minutes in this beach and listen to the treble of waves and stones..

Calaguas Overlooking

The first time I was in Calaguas Island, I never experienced trekking. So now I am back in here, I would not miss trekking and getting a view of this island!

What I thought would be a long and rough trekking was surprisingly only five minutes walk and oh the view is amazing!

Me and the group was lead by our tour guide. You can see the long stretch of Calaguas white beach, the boats that are docked, the nearby islands and the beautiful horizon..
