HEARTINi's Travel #1: Tinipak River & Cave, Tanay, RIzal PART 1 "THE WALK"

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, that is if only I have all the time on my hands, because, for all of us living in the city, it's almost impossible to find a time for our self to satisfy our desire to travel, that is why when we are given an opportunity to do so, we make sure to make the best out of it.

This is our adventure to Tinipak River, Tanay, Rizal, Philippines,

at the top of some Big Rock, we came across while venturing our way through this Rocky Mountains of Rizal

While others are sound asleep, we took our precious time and ride out before sunrise, so we could get there early.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, the Town of Daraitan, we are greeted with warm welcome by very kind and hospitable townfolks,

And of course before setting off to our destination here's our Tour Guide, explaining what is to expect along the way, what is the Do's and Don't in traveling the mountain,

and yes, I'm intensely listening to everything he is saying haha
(our tour guide is very soft-spoken, can hardly hear him talk)

It will take a long 2 to 3 hours of walk from the town to the Tinipak River, well it depends on the pacing and of course, if you're walking with all this gullible person who loves taking photos, haha you take your chance.

That long walk, you need a source of entertainment,
So here's our head of I.T. Department, wants to take a solo photography

and me ruining it haha, because ruining one's moment is also my hobby haha

In every turn we make, there's this great scene of nature we don't see in the city, for all nature lover, this is a great trip for you,

A very memorable adventure of my life, because I really love nature tripping, I love seeing things we don't usually see in the city,

All those time it took us from walking the sweat and exhaustion are all worth it,

Wait for me, I'm still out of frame haha

and having your friends walk with you, it's kinda refreshing and a bit assuring to know that you're not the only one whose exhausted haha

"Are we there yet?" a question that keeps popping out in my mind haha

You can only imagine how hard it is to go through all this torture of walking far off mountain to see a great scenery, and the satisfaction brought by this adventure,

And all the while we are walking our way through this mountain this kid suddenly appearing in front of us, with his all reliable horse, I almost like to ask him, if I could hitch a ride from his horse hahaha

"Almost there" the magic word from our tour guide that erased all anxiety and exhaustion in my mind haha

And even before we could even get there, we have to be careful descending this steep slope,
but thanks to the townsfolk, building this stair made of bamboo, we could climb down with a little tiny bit of ease, haha still too steep,

and the fun part is almost there!!!

To be Continued...
