Batad to Tappiya Falls
It was a very difficult decision for all of us... we have to leave the kids and of course one adult to take care of the kids in Batad. We decided to continue to hike going to Tappiya Falls. It is another hour to an hour and a half hike going to the falls. The guide said that the kids will not be able to hike going down because the trail is so muddy, narrow and steep.

The trek was so exhausting but very rewarding...
It is very dangerous to trek Tappiya, there are falling rocks so take a lot of precautions and be alert all the time. Tappiya Falls height is around 30 meters from its apex. The water of Tappiya is the coldest I've ever been. It's so freezing cold... but still we took some splashes and wet ourselves in the end.

Tappiya is a land slide prone area. Watch out for everything that might just fall...
 |
| so obsessed with waterfalls!!! |
 |
| the water is so freezing cold, kaya wisik wisik muna, hahaha =) |
 |

 |
| friends forever!!! |
I got some stones, perfect for panghilod, hehehe =)
It is more difficult to hike back to Batad where my kids are waiting. I guess it took us almost two hours just climbing up to Batad. Every step was an effort. And the more funny thing... we have no more drinking water, bottled water sold along the way are so expensive, I guess triple the price. It was so exhausting and so challenging. When my youngest child turns ten, we will come back here...
