dumaguete: sneak peek

i've done away with the usual belfry, cathedrals, and other familiar sights. this time, we headed to the mountains of valencia and (almost) lake balinsasayao. these are some (of the few) pictures going there and being there.

beautiful lamp posts such as this dot the road just beside the sea on the way to lake balinsasayao.

the tranportation of choice here in dumaguete is the motorcycle. one (or two) can go around the city and its neighboring towns and cities easily with this. i personally went around dumaguete riding a motorcycle -- made my journey extra-personal and wonderful.

going up lake balinsasayao, everywhere you look is remarkably picturesque. those rocks are abundantly scattered throughout the trail and my lola is serious in stealing one. ("akong ibutang sa garden para lami!)

this is up the mountain of valencia. the waters here are so freaking cold. this is also the source of the banica river in dumaguete city.

an artsy shot of the river. yes, we actually bathed in that river. coolness... literally.


ciao!
