And yes, we are back in Rodriguez, Rizal to celebrate Nanay Melba's birthday - and to climb another mountain!  :))

Nothing beats this cascading waterfalls of Mt. Balagbag.

SAGADA'S BIG ADVENTURE - DAY THREE

Day three was just for relaxation and we bade Sagada good-bye  :(









































But the adventure goes on...in Baguio City! A perfect place to buy pasalubong for family, friends and officemates!









































































































































My cordillera experience was such a blast! A dream come true! Thanks to my friends who joined me in this travel experience! 'Til next time!

SAGADA'S BIG ADVENTURE - DAY TWO

Day Two started with a nice breakfast at the Yoghurt House!














































We then went to the Sagada Souvenir shop to buy Sagada shirts among other pasalubong stuffs.

















BIG ADVENTURE 2: TREKKING AT BOMOD-OK FALLS!






























































































After an exhausting but amazing adventure, we had a sidetrip at the Sagada Cemetery, Echo Valley and St. Mary Episcopa; church.



























































That afternoon, we prepared for our third and last big adventure!
The hike up Mt. Ampacao! We bought a live native chicken because our guide promised to cook the Mountain Province deli, Pinikpikan, on top of Mt. Amapacao.
