Exploring Bolinao

             Summer in the Philippines is always the season for out-of-town trips.  An archipelago as it is, there's so much options to choose from - where to eat, where to go, where to stay and what to see.  We have visited Manaoag and Dagupan, Pangasinan two years ago and even spent a lot of time in Hundred islands in Alaminos but I have not seen Patar beach even if its quiet famous.  With that thought in mind, I invited my friends to backpack in Bolinao, Pangasinan. Its was Friday night when we joined the long list of chance passengers in Victory Liner, Cubao for a direct trip to Bolinao. And what a bad decision, Friday night is actually a tiring night to travel.  Its the night of the week where almost if not all employee's in Metro Manila go back to their provinces for vacation or simply going home for a rest day after a week of making a living in the city.  Fortunately, the administration decided to allowed another bus to travel to Alaminos, Pangasinan when they found out that almost fifty of remaining passengers are actually going to the same destination.

           
             We arrived in Alaminos around 5AM, we then took another bus ride to Bolinao.  Unfortunately, there's not much of an air-con bus available to that town so we ended riding a local non-air-con for our transportation.
