We rode the tricycle again and they brought us this part where the rock formation is.

It was low tide that afternoon so we were able to walk towards the rock formation. During hightide, we were told that we'll only be able to see high and strong waves hitting the rocks. 

Good thing that I was wearing my hiking sandals back there because it was kind of slippery. 

While walking towards the rock formation, we saw an interesting secret that you can only see during low tide.

There's a part wherein you can see the seawater bubbling up and down the cracks or crevices - whichever is the right term. I'd link the video I posted in Instagram so you can see it happening too. 

Kuya was very conscious with the pictures he took stating that it's rare that tourists go to this part of Dingalan so he still doesn't know the best angles. Not bad naman, diba? :))

Be extra careful since sea urchins abound the area.

Batanes of the East may be their well-known spot. But hey, Matawe beach, though not like your Boracay's stretch of white fine sand, is very beautiful too! Plus, it's untouched... and free. :3

Soon, they showed us the Tidal Pool a.k.a Death Pool of Matawe.
If you're a good swimmer, you can but we didn't want to risk it since the wave current was strong. 

Above is what they call the Death Pool.

That part is deep and the water current is strong. 

Looking at it scares me enough already. I wouldn't dare swim in it. 

 I'll be posting pictures I took when I was in the place called Mountain View in Dingalan, Aurora, it is also well-known as the Batanes of the East. At the end of this post is the contact number of the president of their tour guide association. Updated 'to so far kasi July 2017 lang kami umakyat.

Gusto mo 'yung ang gulo at kunga ano lang maisipan kong ilagay 'yung andito? Well, ako hindi. Ang gulo guloooooooo uhuhuhu kasi naman nasa January pa lang ako kung lakwatsa ang usapan... or not. hahaha. Kasi may akyat pa kong hindi napo-post nung November pa pala 'yon.


Anyway, unahin ang Batanes of the East habang wala pang Batanes na totoo sa listahan.. hmm, universe? Whatcha think? 

Sinundo kami ni kuya tour guide ng 5 AM sa transient house. Well. HAHAHAHA. Di kami ready as in ang sarap matulog, bes. Ilang beses kaming nag snooze hanggang sa kumatok na sa pinto si Pastor. HAHAHAHA. :))))))

Walang ligo ligo, bihis lang tapos akyat. Buti na lang hindi gaanong mainit at paulan-ulan na nun kaya hindi sobrang lagkit sa pakiramdam. May nakasalubong kaming nagbe-benta ng pandesal kaya maliban sa tubig, 'yun lang dala namin pero madali lang naman kasi 'yung akyat - less than 30 minutes lang. Sakto lang pang energize sa umaga. 

You have to options getting to the jump off point.

Ride a boat from feeder port which rates, I don't know or trek for P 250.00. The trek was easy although there's a part where you'll pass through boulders but very bearable.

Dalawa lang kami nagpunta kaya we had to divide P 250.00 to two but the rate remains the same regardless of how many you are in your group.

Once you reach the White Beach then malapit ka na sa katotohanan.

The ascent was short. It was less than 30 minutes but was slippery and steep. Good thing they've put ropes which you can hold onto. Sobrang dulas tapos naka sandals lang ako kaya nakakayod ko 'yung putik. haha!

We went here on a weekday which was a very good decision. We only had to share the whole place with these dogs. The "summit" wasn't that big so it'll be hard (and noisy) if there were a lot of people there during your visit. 

 There are two areas to go to when you're here, one is the mountain view which is the "Batanes of the East" and the opposite side which has the lighthouse. 

I haven't been blogging for a while now.

And while I a not really posting a lot of stuff the past few months, posting these days have become a bit more challenging because BAYANTEL'S WIFI IS ACTING UP AND OF ALL WEBSITES THAT I CAN'T ACCESS IN MY LAPTOP, I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLES ACCESSING --- MINE. M-I-N-E. XTINTINA.COM. Which is so weird because it's only the website (that I currently know of) that I am having troubles accessing... good job kayo dyan, Bayantel!

I would try to post and an error message saying that there are troubles with publishing my post would appear and that's because of the unstable internet connection... why?!



I've been frustrated that I tweeted them (globe) and I found out that a lot of other customers share the same frustration too. Changing service isn't possible as of the moment since we need the landline so we have to bare with the slow and intermittent internet but huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu




ANONA BAYANTEL WALA BA TALAGANG CHANCE?! 

I'm sorry, World's Baddest Dog. Masyado ko na-excite sa pa-torch ni Kuya sa'yo kaya blurred 'yung picture.
