O-Peak to Kawasan Falls Traverse

April 11, 2015

So my TTB mates and I decided to spend a weekend down south. No, not swimming with the whale sharks or in some white sand beach. Something closer to this blog's theme. Yes, OsmeƱa Peak!   




Took a bus to Dalaguete - hitched a ride to Mantalungon - hiked up. But it didn't end there. Of course we set up camp and spent the night watching the stars... uhm, a perfect story has to have that stargazing moment - but this was no perfect story. We spent the night drinking Empe (6 bottles!), arguing about some incorrect history, puking and basically disturbing other campers. 








The original plan was to pack up early and cross the Mantalungon mountain range all the way to Kawasan falls in Badian. Well, we stuck to most of it... but we carried something a lot heavier. A major hangover! Despite that, we made it to Kawasan in less than five hours. Faster than anyone doing the same route that day. Maybe we were in a hurry to take a quick dip at the river and erase the freakin' headache for good. Oops. Writing mojo is down again. Last few words. I had fun!
