Kapurpurawan White Rock and the Long Walk

I first saw the Kapupurawan White Rock in a photo posted along Saud Beach, Pagudpud. I knew I just had to visit this interesting rock formation located at the coast of Burgos town. I took a jeepney from Bojeador Lighthouse entrance and dropped off at the highway intersection leading to the Kapurpurawan White Rock. The intersection was easy to spot since there was a poster put up just beside the highway junction. The locals I talked to earlier advised me to take a tricycle going to the actual site. The coast was still another four kilometers from the highway. I waited for fifteen minutes but did not encounter any passing tricycles. Not even tourists or locals. The sun was already starting to set. I had to make a decision.

Bangui Windmills and Bojeador Lighthouse in Burgos, Ilocos Norte

It was time to leave my homestay in Saud Beach and move on with a do-it-yourself (DIY) tour to the Bangui Windmills and Cape Bojeador Lighthouse. I had a very sublime experience touring around Pagudpud the day before. I was surprised to be greeted yet again with the most amazing deep blue skies and sunny weather. I didn’t expect to be so lucky since I was traveling in October, which is usually typhoon season in the Philippines. It was the already the 5th day on my plan to encircle the northernmost cape of Luzon. This was the part of the trip when I started to worry less about my itinerary and just let it unfold as I went along.

Experience Zorbing in Boracay

Want to have a ball on Boracay? Okay…I should just stop right there…the joke is way too cheesy, but maybe I should explain what I’m talking about. Zorbing.

Melo inside the Zorb

Zor-what? Zorbing. This is when you literally get in a ball and roll down a hill. Lofl. I’m serious as a heart attack. Zorbing in Boracay means you get in a giant plastic ball and you roll down a hill in it and I’ve got to tell you now, it’s way more fun than it sounds when I write about it.

Boracay Zorbing Experience

To get to the Zorb Park, just head towards the Bat Cave in Yapak and you will find it. It’s hard to miss a bunch of people rolling down hills in giant balls! The Zorb balls are about three meters across and they are pretty cheap, starting at about 300 pesos and going up to about 600 pesos depending on whether you want to ride solo, with friends, or with friends and water!

Waterless Zorb in Boracay

Personally, I prefer the solo ride where they strap you in and you go end over end down the hill but if you want to slip and slide with friends inside a water filled ball as it rolls down the hill you can do that too. I figured if I was with a special someone, that might be fun and truly an unforgettable experience.

Zorbing in Boracay

I should warn you though…once you ride the Zorb, you won’t be the same. It does something to a person. When I emerged from the giant ball it was like the world had changed around me. Suddenly I had beautiful women begging for my phone number, a chauffeur was waiting to take me back to my mansion, and then… well, then the dizziness wore off and I came back to reality.

Still, either way is a blast. It’s like nothing you’ve ever done unless you’ve rolled down a grassy hill in a giant ball before.
