Comments: Into Zambales and surfing along an area that was totally virgin hiking territory. Reveling in the breathtaking views and meeting friendly people who offered us what they have, especially Norma Ramirez at Malipano. The rain and sticky mud made every step a bit of a chore and due to lack of luxury of time we wadded through a tall grass covered filthy swamp just to reach our rendezvous before sunset and rewarded ourselves with cold beers. Despite some of the pitfalls it was like satisfaction guaranteed.  S.S.I.
