Backpacking West Bataan Part 1

This is the first of a three part-post of my backpacking adventure in West Bataan. Two of my friends who reside in Balanga City invited me and few others on a trek amidst the mountain and beach scape of the western part of Bataan that include Bagac and Morong. It was a two-day trek that include camping in one of Bagac's scenic coves. Although, it is already rainy season, the thought of spending another few day in nature is just too irresistable. So, with my backpack and tent in tow, I headed to Balanga City which is the meeting place for the trek.


I was greeted in Balanga with heavy rains. The weather that day is not that fine so some trekkers backed-out. There are only four of us who went through with the trek with lots of Plan B's in mind. We thought that if the weather does not improve we will shorten the trek and just stay in some of the private resorts in the area. So off we go to Bagac and luckily, amidst the gloomy skies and occassional droplets, it didn't rain hard. So, for the next few posts, I will share to you some stories and photos of this adventure:
