Mt. Apo Highland Resort [Mirror Lake}

I had the chance to visit Mt. Apo Highland Resort (Mirror and Hillside) in Kapatagan Valley in Digos, Davao Sur. It was the 2nd tourist spot the participants and organizers of the Davao Food Appreciation Tour visited during the event.  It was the second itinerary for our May 5, 2012

Personally, I was so excited because it was my first time.  Everyone seems eager to hurdle the more than an hour travel to highlands.  When were awed by the view we saw.  Let me share some of them through the following photos:


The welcome signage!
Name of the resort ^^ Indeed the lake is a mirror because you will be inspired of the reflection of nature seen in the water.



Here's a reflection of the trees.



Some of there good for four (4) persons cottages.



These cottages is good for 2 but if an additional foam can be added if there are more than two of you.
Additional bed also means additional payment.



The CR!
I thought it's another building - not a CR of course!
I've never been inside but the place seems clean and there was no complains from those who used it.



The sofa below the cottage that's good for 4.  It rained for a moment and those seats were used.

I wish I can share some pics with me in it, but they are at home at the moment.  It took me 2 weeks and more to finish this post so you can really imagine how tight my sked is.  But I hope to make more updates in the coming week.

    I've been planning to visit this place but could not seem to have the opportunity. It seems like a nice place to sit back and just relax. Visiting thru Tuesday travels here.

Spring Fling in Seoul - Arriving at Yeouido Park

Image
The moment we saw this stair with cherry blossom art, I knew this is it.  I was excited to see what's out there to see.  And this is my first glimpse of the cherry blossom in a perfect spring day! I think this is a welcome stage of the festival, but I was somewhat disappointed because I expected the place to be really filled with CB trees.  The trees I can see a bit further was not enough to satisfy my imagination.  I thought ito lang... Then we were told that we have to leave now because this is not the real place.  The place is farther ahead.  The guys with Jacel walked so fast. Not really fast but their strides were bigger than ours.  Since I walked alone, not together with the other 3 ladies, I walked next to the guys. I tried to keep them in sight because I cannot imagine what would happen if I get lost in the crowd. The crowd was quite big. So much people because it was the first day or opening day of the festival. We have to walked a kilo

Surigao del Sur Escapade: Enchanted at The Enchanted River

Image
Yay after a year, it's like I am able to make a summary of our summer 2015 escapade in Surigao del Sur that covered The Enchanted River, Tinuy-an Falls, and the Britania group of Islands. I may forget some minute details but I will try to narrate what I can remember according to the pics posted here. Disclaimer : All photos used in this post are mine, unless stated otherwise . Before coming, I have heard a lot about Enchanted River.  I've seen it many times online (thanks to Google). Many times I have wished that one day, I will be able to see and feel its waters - and that one day happened in July 2015. After traveling the whole night, we arrived at HInatuan before six o'lock in the morning.  We were one of the few who were early birds. We thought we were the first but nah. Never mind though.  The important thing is that we arrived safe and sound and the drivers can take their rest and few hours wink. I feel our faces are puffy after the whole night trip b
