Months din bago namin na finalize na Sagada ang destination. Im not sure if it was my friend Che who thought of it or me but it was one of the places on my wish list to go and i never imagined i will go there someday haha. Sa huli 6 kaming confirmed na pupunta. :)
Quezon city ang first destination to take the bus ride from Manila to Bontoc which is 12 hours travel. feeling pa namin nung una nasa Amazing race kami its 15 minutes before 8:30 di pa namin nakikita yung terminal (lumipat kasi yung station) when we knew where it is we were like running to get there with our bags and voila were there! nakahabol pa kami pero two of my friends were still not there kinakabahan kami baka di na sila antayin but 3 mins before 8:30 nakahabol pa sila in their scrub suits or uniform haha. whew ang haba ng biyahe nakakapagod pero worth it naman kahit gabi ang biyahe may nakikita ka naman kahit paano lalo na pag pa-umaga na.(cliff, terraces, small falls and mountains and fog hahaha) Maulan pa nung pumunta kami sa sagada so we were really wishing na please make it sunny for a while napagbigyan naman kami kahit paano. :)
Nasa Mt. province na kami niyan at ito ang dinadaan..cliff na sa side.. haha
it’s like were on the other side of the mountain and after were on the other cool! :) Foggy pa yung place and super cold! :)
around 8am nasa Bontoc na kami and we passed by a parade im not sure what festival they are having.
when we were in sagada our tour guide told us that the rice plantation rituals already started so i thought that maybe its the festival they were celebrating.. i’m not really sure :)
From Bontoc, 45 minutes ride will take us to the town proper of Sagada. all over from cordillera to sagada plant terraces were really visible.
Here we are at Sagada! :)
Sa wakas nandito na rin kami! sa jeep terminal nandun na lahat.. bus terminals, municipal hall, hospital and church and the tourist information center. we register first sa tourist information center nila at nagbayad ng environmental fee(mura lang naman) then to our loding house.
DAY 1
after checking in at Canaway House diretso kain muna sa Salt and Pepper. we ate breakfast there or we can say brunch. the food was great and the servings were almost good for two nabigla nga kami eh pero naubos pa rin namin besides it’s a good thing because we never know what exhaustion we’ll get after haha.
we met our tour guide Sir Andrew of Saggas and two more Sir dennis and sir Jason who helps us a lot. as in a lot!!
First destination : Cave Conncetion
Sabi ni Sir Andrew sa cave connection more on adventure yung mga rock formations kasi nasa kabilang side sa Sumaging Cave.
entrance: lumiang burial cave
The adventures begin! :) Entrance pa lang struggling na kami haha it was my first or lahat kami first time mag-spelunking. Entrance pa lang kami medyo difficult na ang dinadaanan at nilulusutan pero along the way you are going to appreciate what you are doing. the adventure, the excitement to see the rock formations deep inside the cave and the thrill to go outside and finish the course. also the fun for 4 hours crawling, sliding, balancing, walking, swimming? haha etc
since we are still in the tail end of the rainy season ma-tubig pa sa loob. ang lakas ng falls at sobrang lamig ng tubig at ang linaw ha.. :)
here are few rock formations we saw inside.. ang daming pics pag nilagay ko lahat haha nasa sumaging na kami! :)
nakalimutan ko kung ano ito para kasing half part ng rice grain haha
asawa daw ng sirena.. ang syokoy! :)
si lolong the buwaya hehe
the terraces
the curtains
la lang…mga batu-bato along the way. ang smooth niyan at hindi madulas..
may part din dun na sa cave wall may mga fossilized na shells. They said na according to the geologist thousand of years ago sagada was underneath water at umangat lang because of volcanic eruption! Cool! ang taas-taas ng sagada feeling mo nasa langit ka na tapos noon nasa ilalim siya ng tubig? Super Cool!
ang nice lang sa loob sa haba ng nilakad, sa mga gasgas, pasa at sugat na nakuha at sa pagkasira ng aking leggings worth it naman lahat! haha
Yey! on our way out! 150 steps daw haha sobrang pagod na talaga kami niyan as in define PAGOD! we started around 1:30 and we finished it around 5:30 whew!
FUN FUN FUN!
after sa lodge bagsak lahat sa kama at super daming kinain ulit as in super dami haha then after tulog na agad. haha
Thanks to Sir Andrew, Sir Dennis and Sir Jason who help us inside as in totally help and guide us inside.
Day 1 ends
