Siit for Ourselves

The plan to go to Siit in the municipality of Siaton was one of those that we never really planned but decided to push through since all four of us Jean, Kai and GB were on vacay mood when the year started. We're very thankful for GB's hubby, Ian, who was with us to drive a vehicle to Siit Barangay road, the path going to Antulang. Travel time was about an hour. We parked the car under a young mango tree and started our mini-hike to Turtle Island.

The path we chose was one of two ways you can get to the island. Another way was from a jump of point and you have to cross a short distance of water (about 3 minutes) to get to the other side. Ours didn't require any boat ride. Instead, we walked around to reach the destination.

We surely would have complete our hike in about thirty minutes but since we found a lot of spots to take photos, well, it took us about an hour more or less. The sun was hot but it was fun.

This was the view that greeted us when we started the hike.


A tamarind tree was well-shaped and had a very inviting shade.
A white cow made a nice subject with it.

Most of the path was just flat ground, no elevation. Thank goodness!

We'd occasionally find some flowery trees like this.


Adventure Awaits

I've never been this excited in months (or years, maybe?) This may also be the first time I have ever enjoyed packing. This is a good sign. Looks promising.

This weekend, I'm going on a hike to climb my second mountain for the year! Big fat Yay!

I am very anxious, but looking forward to seeing mother nature again and God's beautiful creation. I don't know what else to expect except that it's going to be really cold (and I have low tolerance to low temperature). Here's to hoping I make it without injuries. I'm very hopeful to see this amazing world from a another "angle."

So after wrestling with the bag, I finally got everything in. It actually doesn't feel that heavy. But I'm sure I'll be able to feel the weight after hours of carrying it on my back.

Adventure awaits. See you when I get back!
