BANAUE & HAPAO RICE TERRACES

APEC week..... NOV 2015
Everyone went to Batad & sagada. I stayed in Banaue.  
Bus stop nagkagulo Na naman guides at tour as usual. Free shuttle going to halfway resto, hitch Ako (I didn't pay p50 environmental fee) Sa terminal.
Sa halfway nagkagulo Na naman guides nagbigay ng short orientation(scammy). Since I'm alone umalis Ako Sa resto gutom Na ko at Di Nila ko ma-force to join tour. Checked out some rooms. Scammers Na naman(stairway to heaven too pricey, private bathroom daw pero nsa labas for php600. Finally, greenview lodge for php250 per night with a nice view and common area. Have to pay for cfon charging php20 and hot shower for php50. This is normal naman Sa banaue.

Window shopping ng furnitures then found a massage place...

Booked tour thru greenview, they referred me Sa guide for php1600 with trike going to hungduan & Hapao. Carinderia food papaitan! Dinner at 7th heaven, drink with other guides I met Nung morning. Free hitch going back to greenview. Madilim Na raw Kse.

Day trip to Hungduan & hapao. Passed by scenic road. unlimited rice terraces with different shapes at variety. Johnsen is good on plants, leaf, puno familiar sya Sa mga halaman. Learned a lot about culture and how local people live. My heart melted when I saw Yun outcome ng recent bagyo landslide & napadalhan ba sila ng relief goods. Now I know why actor Piolo went there recently(as per another guide, tumutulong daw Sa particular Barangay last seen Nya Batad at mang Ramon's few weeks back)

Nice view there's a church in the middle of terraces. Haba din ng trek moderate to sometimes hard going to hot spring & coldest Hapao river

Banaue! This is the place where I met lots of backpackers, family, Pinoy, puti Na nicest Sa pilipinas. They have different stories.
I also love hanging out with a group of victory Christians Pinoy & American group of friends I met at the hot spring. Tawanan galore dahil Sa hot & cold nice chat with them. I don't have their pictures but Meron Ako Sa knila. It's all about beautiful memory Kasama sila.
