17062016 - We've been so blessed that we conquered the pregnant mountain! Thanks God for the strength and spirit. Indeed the adventure is worthwhile.. We struggled in climbing on waters, rocky rivers, very steep hill, and walking down with small path with a cliff in your left and right.. But worth all the sweats after witnessing the beauty of its forest. A canopy of tall verdant trees, cascading waterfalls, cold water of rivers, different kinds of flora and fauna,and the overlooking view of San Frans erased instantly the tiredness in our faces.

| Last groupie we have - It is taken when we're heading down the mountain already. |
It was my first time to climb. And the struggles were real. We don't ate nor drink a hot cup of coffee when we headed to the foot of the mountain. We started to walk quarter to six. First, it was an easy walk, and not so steep path. And later comes the average and definitely the difficult phase of the trail. I was out of breath hours past but thankfully I survived. It is just amazing to walked on a virgin forest. Tall trees, exotic fern and other flora, the cute snakes and frogs we passed by, the iguana that caught by our tour guide - these were few of what we saw on our 8 hours in the forest.
The climbing was hard but so as when we headed down. The very steep path, cliff on your sides, the thorny plants, the muddy soil made our walk hard. But thanks to the guys, they helped us all the way to the foot of the mountain.
It was 2pm when we arrived on the foot. We are all tired and thirsty. The experienced was great! One of my most memorable firsts! Thank you for my best friend that she convinced and accompanied me there. I love you. And most of all, thank you Father God for making my first climb successful one. All glory and praise belongs to you.
