The Wondering Pinay: The Starting Point: Sagada Adventure

10.22.13

I find myself working on my first blog, though I'm dying to have one on my own. I'm sitting here in my office with all my paper works in my table, but I have no intention to finish it today since I'm so empty..feel empty..
(emo mode :D )..

Nature tripping is actually my hobby nowadays. I love adventure!!! Trekking, Cliff Diving, Mountain Climbing with some sort of rock climbing which may base on the trail class. Hmm, what else, I do snorkeling and definitely island hopping once I'm at the beach. When I was in Sagada I enjoy cave exploration and spelunking... To some it up I love nature!!!I'm dying to have at least 2x a month nature hopping.

So here it is, I would just like to share with you guys how is this started.

First I went north, into the highlands of Benguet Province, SAGADA.
Since my brother is living in Baguio, I've offered him to accompany us on our way to Sagada. And me as his little sister paying all of his expenses from accommodation, tour, down to his ever beloved food. Our budget is Php 3500 each, and we are 5 of us in a group. I'm with my friends (Abeth, Shiela, Mai and Loki (My Brother). I did not look into details what other expenses we spent in this tour, since I did not know I'll be creating this blog after a year, maybe next time :)

We decided to avail the night trip to Baguio via Victory Liner Pasay. We've took the 10pm slot. After 7 hours of travel and on & off bladder break we've reached Baguio City at 5:00am. My brother meet us at the terminal and have a quick Breakfast somewhere in session road The restaurant offers 24 hrs service and tourist often go here for a quick meal. It is very relaxing with continental breakfast on the menu and overflowing coffee. For Php 150 breakfast meal it surely covers your Lunch.Oww I forgot to mentioned its ZOLA!!!

Then we went to another bus terminal to reach Sagada. Unfortunately the first trip to Sagada already departed at 6:00am. The second trip will be at 8am, meanwhile we just wait at the Shrine. We took this picture after the mass.

Loki & Shiela. Once we arrive we register at their Municipality and avail the schedule of the tour for the next day. Day 1 (rest and visit the nearby tourist spot)
