Daddy's 34th Bday: Bulacan and Tanay Adventure

Every year, we celebrate his birthday with inuman and just some food at the house. But this time, we make it a little different. A two-day celebration on a separate location, this time with adventure.

We welcome his birthday camping at a friends farm in Norzagaray Bulacan, of course with a little inuman pa din until about 4am. We arrived at the farm about 11pm. We immediately set up the tent and started the session :) . We took some sleeps until 8am and head to the nearby talipapa to buy some foods for lunch to bring at Bakas River.

Bakas River Norzagaray, Bulacan

It only took us about 20minutes tricycle ride from the farm to Bakas River. When we arrived, the water was very calm. And as we are having our lunch, the water immediately went up and flows very fast. My friend said that the Angat dam released water. It was really not safe to swim there because of it. Although there were signage that it is prohibited to go swimming there are still some young kids age 10-15 who are swimming there.

Because it was about to rain, we left the river at around 4pm, took bath right after we arrive the farm and left at around 6pm.

The next day, July 2, we went to Tanay Rizal, to climb Mt. Nagpatong and Tung-tong Falls in Tanay Rizal. We meet my PUPMountaineers family together with their spouses as well, 4:30am at Araneta Center in Cubao. Stop over to buy some food at Cogeo Market for breakfast, then head on to Brgy.
