CAGAYAN DE ORO, CAMIGUIN, BUKIDNON and ZAMBOANGA

It wasn’t a good start. Everything was messed up. Three of us had the same flight to Cagayan de oro city. I was able to catch my flight but unfortunately, two of us didn’t make it. They were late. So I flew to Cagayan all alone. The rain was pouring hard. I am soaked. The rain water embraced my as I stepped out of the plane. It was my first time in this big city in the south and it wasn’t a warm welcome. I was about to inform them about me situation but, WTF! My phone was not with me. I was lost in CDO without a phone. Not to worry because there's the power of the internet. I went to the nearest mall, in SM and went online. Bang! Rescue is on its way. I contacted my friends in Facebook and told them about my situation. Then, met me in SM and LET THE FUN BEGIN. 

DAY1

We woke and got ready for our trip to Camiguin Island. It was a long ride so we got up at 4:30am. We reached the island at 7am. We hired a small jeepney for 1500pesos, that's for 1 whole day. It wasn’t that much because there were 6 of us. First stop, Katibawasn falls. 2nd stop, White island, 3rd, sunken cemetery and the volcano ruins, 4th stop, soda pool, 5th stop. Niño cold spring. Then back to CDO.

We went to many places in one day. I felt like we spent a week long in the Camiguin. FUN!

DAY 2

White water rafting- it was an awesome experience. My skin got burnt from the sun. We were rafting along the river for almost 5 hours under the heat of the sun. It was scary, especially for a person like me who has a fear of water. I was so scared yet confident because I trusted our guide. I also felt my life vest was secured in place. 2 hours after the ride, we were asking for bigger rapids. We enjoyed whenever the water splashed against us, pushing us away from the raft. We met new friends during the ride. For sure ill try do again. 

DAY 3

Dahilayan park adventure- it wasn’t really an adventure. It was more like a relaxing experience. The scenery was great. The mountains were marvelous. The landscape was so temperate-like. It felt like we were in Twilight (the movies).  The air was cool. We have experienced the longest zip line in Asia. It was “ahhh ok”. It wasn’t like “WHOAHHH!!!”. It was similar to Eden’s Park in Davao City. Although the nature felt nice, I still didn’t find it amazing because it was man-made. It kept popping in my mind that I was man-made. (of course, it’s a park). the most awesome part in this trip was our visit to Camp Philips in Bukidnon. The pineapple plantation. It was like "pineapple as fer as the eyes can see". It a lot of photos in the pineapple filed. The place was so peaceful and the people were friendly. I loved it.

LAST DAY 

Last trip- we were headed to Zamboanga City, my hometown. It was twelve hours away from Cagayan de Oro City. We ran out of time and we didn’t get the chance to roam around the beautiful spots in the city. But atleast we were able to visit the popular place in Zamboanga, Fort Pilar, Paseo del Mar, Boulevard. We ate yummy food too.

This is one of hte best trip that i had so far. I have experienced a lot of things for the first time, i ate great tasting food, got lost in a city with no cellphone, tried zipline line and white water rafting. and most of all, the friendship the was built!
