Welcoming Summer

Summer has officially started. With the temperature reaching to as high as 34 degree Celsius, wouldn’t it be nice to dip into cold water with the whole family. And that is what we did last Sunday. We went to Bakas River in Norzagaray, Bulacan. It was an hour jeepney ride from SM Fairview to Norzagaray town proper. Then you can take a tricycle ride to the river. The water was really refreshing and the ambience superb! Since it was a Sunday, there are lots of people, young and old alike, enjoying the water. It was nice to see such a piece of nature like this so near Metro Manila. There are makeshift cottages made by the locals that are being rented out to those that wanted to have a shed to perhaps put in their things and foods while they swim. For people who would want to go the Bakas, I just would like to warn you guys. It is going to be a back-to-the-basic experience. And I mean: no toilets, no stores nearby and no electricity. But I bet, you will surely enjoy your stay there. What with the nice view, the calmness that you will experience and the good company.

pristine water and nice rock formations!

The kid says even Optimus Prime and Megatron are taking a bath because of the heat.



Enjoying the scene with the one you love, how hot is that!



This last image says it all!

To say that the whole family wants to go back there is an understatement. And in fact, we already have a plan on going back!
