Sagada, Day 3
Today would be a very "physical" day for us. First, we would be hiking almost two (2) hours (one way) to reach Bomod Ok Falls, passing several rice fields/terraces, stone-carved steps, rocks and boulders. Then, we would do spalunking in Sumaguing Cave. To have enough energy, first, we had a buffet breakfast at Yoghurt House.
Since it is Saturday, it is market day in Sagada. We stopped near the St. Theodore Hospital as we waited for our guides to the Bomod Ok Falls.
Although the hike would take two (2) hours one way, the cool weather and the view makes up for everything.
Upon reaching Bomod Ok Falls, some of us took a dip in the cold water. Lent them my Canon D10 so they can take images underwater.
We had our very late lunch at Rocky Valley Inn and Cafe. Lots of negative reaction, in fact, one of the viand we ordered did not even arrive! Well, I guess, this would be expected as we are a big group... I guess...
We stopped at our place to leave some of our things and went to the caves. We have to be in the cave before 5PM else they would not let us enter. The guys would be taking the interconnection (enter Lumiang Cave and exit at Sumaguing Cave) while the girls would be entering the Sumaguing Cave.
Definitely, an experience. In fact, if I visit Sagada again, I can still try the caving, that is, if I did not get a wound. Which I did, when I slipped while going down a 90 degree wall and "stepping on" the guide so I can go down. Even did some rapelling to go up that 90 degree wall.
When we got out of the cave, it was blackout all over Sagada.
In our room, four out of five of us got some wound because of spalunking. The one without wound volunteered to buy candles. When she got back, she got one (wound)!!!
