Perfect weekend

in #travel7 years ago

I’ve been to many places here in the Philippines but this place is the perfect place for me. “Secret place” as we call it since only a few visits this place , so the serenity of the place is kept. It’s my second time to visit this place but it still surprised me with the magnificent scenery of the mountains and the sky.

After eating breakfast we started river trekking to go the “secret place”- a lagoon where we can swim.

I was the one who jumped first to test how cold and deep the water is. And so I was waiting for the others at the other side. We swam for an hour, trying to climb rocks while swimming, trying to reach the bottom of thw lagoon- but still couldn’t. Yes its that deep haha

After swimming, we went back to camp to have lunch and prepare for departure. While waiting I got a chance to climb boulders but I was so tired I couldn’t even finish one problem. Haha

Perks of having a car, you can take a break and take pictures anywhere you seem fit. Hahaha

Overall, it was a great escape from my daily stresses- a weekend full of fun with friends. ❤️

Looks great. I like the look of that blue lagoon, but I'd worry about what was lurking in its depths.

Haha there was nothing that I am sure. If not I wouldn’t be the first one to jump in. ☺️

Yeah, I think I may have been watching too many episodes of River Monsters recently.

Its not scary, I swear haha anyway, here’s a photo of my friends getting ready to jump, its deeper and I didn’t dare to swim in it, I was scared something might grab me and pull me down. 😅 I think it was a year ago when australian divers tried to reach the bottom but sadly they didn’t succeed.
