Back Packs Ready! |
The 4x4 ride has began. The scenery was fascinating , you will see endless plain of volcanic sand, volcanic formations, streams, and cliffs made of lahar. It was an action-packed adventure, requires patience and endurance at bawal ang tutulog tulog sa loob or else baka kung saan ka pulutin.

Me and April, Holding hands kc pipicturan... pero pag walang picture, kanya kanya ng lakad! hirap kaya makipagholding hands pag ganyan ang trail at super init pa hahahaha! |
After two hours or more na nakakapagod na paglalakad, we reach the crater and it was magnificent view. Ang ganda pala sa personal kesa sa mga pictures in the internet.
Meeting the Majestic Crater for the First Time and Took our Exhaustion Away, a Great Reward for Us indeed! |
were just lucky that the weather that day was great - that's why we got good photos.
