BUKIDNON ADVENTURE

From Camiguin, we went straight to Bukidnon to complete the last leg of our Mindanao getaway.

We left our resort in Camiguin right after breakfast, rode the ferry back to Balingoan Port, and met our Van Driver for the day.

The road going to Bukidnon is steep and "zigzaggy" as it is located atop a mountain.  There are also parts when it is "dusty" as there were unpaved roads.

What is good is that the weather there is much lower than the lowlands, pretty much like Tagaytay - truly a welcome treat for all of us.

The pride of Bukidnon is their pineapples which are said to be the sweetest in the country.

Del Monte Philippines has set its central operation there for a long time already and one could not help but admire the simple yet systematic community built by the said company for their employees.

We passed by hectares and hectares of pineapple plantation on the way up.

Our destination for the day is the DAHILAYAN FOREST AND ADVENTURE CAMP.
This is where you will find Asia's longest dual zipline and J was eager to try it along with the rest of the group including my niece Siobee who is so adventurous by nature.

We are finally here and we are eager to conquer it.

But first we had to find an area for Mommy and Tita Remy so they too could enjoy the scenery without actually riding the zipline.

Alas, they finally found their spot already.

So, the gang were all set for the Zipline Adventure

Ate Grace and Ate Lyn were first to arive.

Then came Spiro - You did it Kuya!

That's it?  Too simple for Siobee's guts as expected. 

All smiles si Tito Deck.  Hindi halatang "napilit" lang. Haha!

Tito Bonn arrived with those blue "thingy" on his hands.
Please do not ask me what is that for. ASK. HIM. DIRECTLY. Bwahahaha.

Jon arrived the last, and, judging from his face and thumbs, it was all good!

After the Zipline experience, we grabbed some snacks in one of the kiosks there and off we went to Del Monte Club House to have some photos before going back to CDO.

A lovely afternoon spent communing with lush greeneries and awesome company.

Then we wasted no time in going down to CDO and back to Travelers Pod where we relaxed until dinner time.

After dinner, we rode a jeep and went to their famous "Divisoria" for a night of "Ukay Ukay" Shopping.

Bonn scored a lot of major finds while the rest of us settled on hanging around and enjoying the vibe.  It was all in all a night of fun and laughter.  Very worthwhile indeed.

The next morning, Bonn and Deck had an early flight back to Manila while the rest of us relaxed in the hotel until it was time to head to the airport for our 2PM flight.

Thank you Lord for another safe and memorable trip spent with family and friends.
