mySpot | Agas Agas Bridge (Tallest Bridge in Philippines) and Zipline

 
One of the highlights in my Leyte Vacation was that overwhelming (skin-burning) whole day motor cycle tour to the southern part of Leyte. And thanks to my Nanay Luz for bringing me to what they say now as The Longest Zip Line in the Philippines on the tallest bridge which is also in the country.

We started our journey in Abuyog riding a single motorcycle going to Silago. Then to Hinunangan, San Juan, passed thru the mountains of St. Bernard, going up to Sogod, then we reached the Agas Agas Bridge where the zip line is located. Check the map screen shot below for the route.

Of course we had a few (actually, there were plenty) stop overs and we have to refill the gas and we have to rest also. Once we got there, it was in the middle of the mountainous regions of Sogod, Leyte.

Before you can go try out the zip line (and the cable car), you have to pay Php 5.00 (five) pesos for the entrance fee (what?!)  And then ticket for the zip line was about (darn, I forgot) 150 or 200 Pesos per ride.

mySpot | Nature Tripping - Trip to Leyte 2012

Last week, I went to visit our province in Abuyog Leyte. The last time I've been here was about three years ago with my family and this is my first time to go alone.

Thanks to my titos and titas, I am able to visit different places here. Of course, I enjoyed taking photos of the scenery and some other stuffs.

You can check out more of my photos on my facebook page. :)

mySpot | Facebook Farm Town vs Real Farm

There are moments in our life when we look back to the past and see the things we've done remembering those happy moments and those funny things we did together with our friends or family.

Nah! I'm just stressed today so I browsed for some not-so-recent pics from my folder and then I found this one.

This photo was taken last June 2009 when the whole family (for the first time after 21 years in my life as far as I can remember) visited our province in Leyte. I guess the last time I went here is... hmmm... I really don't remember. Well, we visited our grand mother and some of the relatives. My mom showed us some of my lolo's lands and trees and farm fields...We walked lots of kilometers everyday to travel from one place to another... Well, it was fun.

This is my first time to ride a Carabao (kalabaw). Usually, I just ride to the Kangga because I was scared to the carabao... (FYI: The kangga is a carabao-pulled sled made usually from bamboo and wood) and of course, I wouldn't miss this chance so I had my photo taken together with my cousin (who served as the carabao operator). But don't worry, no animals were hurt during this shot. :D And believe me, going on a real farm is better than playing the farm town game in Facebook. :D

When we went to my lola's house, it became smaller than it was before (or maybe just because I am big now which made the house look smaller) But it was still the same. I just wish I go back there again someday and things would be just like the old days...

Till here, Ciao :D
