We Survived Batad!
It is so relaxing to wake up in the morning with this scenery... We rented a room for Php800 good for all of us, the Bantog Family, Pau, Rowie and Tutz. Hahaha =) ang saya lang... Paula bought a rice wine at pinilit ubusin kahit masama ang lasa, hahaha =)

| ganyan ang pwesto nila nung natulog... nung time na yan wala talaga kaming budget lahat para gumala...ang lalakas ng loob mamasyal...wala namang pera, hahaha =) |
the
dining room at our rented dorm...
we were also allowed to cook, basta
may iluluto...
nanguha rin kami ng cooking oil without the owner
knowing...
that is just so bad, hahaha =)
Our plan for this day... hike from Saddle to Batad. We rented the jeep at Php2,000, the driver also hitched a tour guide who will be hiking with us from Saddle to Batad.
