Hellova Ride

 

April 9, 2013. Tuesday. Holiday. 7 P.M I just woke up from 2 hours nap. I can almost feel every strand of my muscles, aching. I got home at 4.30 this afternoon from trekking, up in Mount Pinatubo’s Crater Lake. My next post should be the general knowledge about this very active Volcano in the Philippines.

 

I trekked with 8 more girls all from work. Thank you to the President for letting us use the company van. Then off we traveled 2-3 hours from the big city to the pick-up point where off-road 4x4 vehicles were waiting. And being in it for an hour, we bumped here and hit there and to each other and to ourselves. With my guts half-fastened victoriously, I took some photos along the way – with tons of volcanic ashes and stones. We crossed mini rivers, muds here and there and gathered dusts on ourselves. A hellova ride – and worth every bit of it! I loved the rides and the scenery extremely and majestically formed by the volcano itself. Then, we hiked to its crater for about 20 minutes and spent for a couple of hours or so. Swimming is no longer recommended as the level of hazardous substances is very unpredictable. Early this year, a hiker died from diving into a deep section of the crater and after which, a warning was issued by the Department of Tourism, prohibiting any water activities in the Crater Lake. So, we relaxed, had refreshments and admired in full 180 degrees view of the beautiful scenery with God knows what’s happening right underneath. With enough satisfaction and exhaustion, we hiked back for our rollercoaster ride to gather more dusts and incur more pains.

 

It was a day trip that took my breath away, and some dusts away into my lungs LOL. And, oh, my butt is a bit painful too from bouncing for two hours altogether! Hahaha! Tomorrow I’m back to work and hopefully, though I doubt, my full strength is back. I’m back in one piece bloggers! ^__^.
