i'm going home...

How about a 3 hour zigzag road trip going to Baguio?

We left Isabela at exactly 9:30am the following day after our mascot's birthday bash. Me, together with my other three counterparts will travel back to Pangasinan, La Union and Baguio. The rest of the group is going back to Manila. This time we will be travelling on a different route, from Aritao town in Nueva Viscaya to Baguio City. The road sign says: 107kms to Baguio City. On a normal road condition, if you are travelling at a speed of 80-100km/h it would take at least an hour and a half travel. But in this case its a zigzag road from start to finish, all 107kms of it, not even a kilometer of a straight road, literally an S or even a SSS road, going up and down through mountain ranges. Travel time: more than 3 hours, and guess who's driving... yes, it's me.

It's an adventure, that's how I describe our road trip. The view was simply amazing, as if we we're in a different country already. Imagine this, layers and layers of mountain ranges covered with pine trees, and lush greens. Of course, we managed to pull over and took some snapshots. Pinoy eh mahilig sa picturan hehe. Too bad I don't have my digital camera with me :( camera ng cell phone na lang pwede na... and the strong odor of pine trees is a delight to our olfactories too! Oh, we also passed by the Ambuklao Dam, considered as one of the biggest dams in Southeast Asia. How's that for road trip, ei?

Arrived home at 5:15pm on that day. Nakakapagod, but definitely worth it, my eyes was simply delighted with great scenic views on that part of Luzon. Tara na, byahe tayo!

Blogger out!
