Zambales - Tarlac 2 Days Laidback Trip (Liwliwa - Isdaan)

a laidback trip before going back as an OFW
august 20-21, 2012 monday-tuesday

"I travel not to go anywhere but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move." - R. L. Stevenson

Nothing much to say, I made this trip just to be reunited, have a chilling moments with Bakasyonista friends and share life beyond travel. My 1st self-proclaimed laidback and nth time get-away with them. The kite in the picture is part of my surprise plan to enjoy this laidback activity. Though We tried hard to make it fly, wind was not friendly that time. We just used it as part of our fun photoshoot for the day.

Barangay Liwliwa is part of San Felipe town, Province of Zambales. Liwliwa beach is a place for skimboarding and surfing. 

We stayed overnight in The Circle Hostel, the 1st of a chain of budget friendly eco-hostels in the Philippines. To know more about this hostel...
