WHITE WATER RAFTING
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY :-)
Tired of office works? Want to have some minute yet worth remembering escape of your busy life? Then why not try the nerve-wracking water rafting adventure? This 3-hour run with 14 breathtaking rapids is situated in Cagayan de Oro river (Mambuaya-Kabula).
Hey guys! Do not be confuse why it is called "white water rafting" when you could only see brown water. It's actually white in normal days. I mean sunny days. But due to our eagerness to that electrifying adventure, we did raft a week after the storm. So I recommend you to do rafting during summer season.
The color brown water did not stop us from enjoying the moment as seen in picture. whew!
And ohh... our rubber boat was trapped in the rock. We couldn't move despite of the heavy rapids. We almost fell from the boat. We kept paddling for us to move on the other side. Thanks God, we made it!
...smooth sailing is what we had.
Our rubber boat is about to dock. It's time for lunch. More rapids to go. We need to eat for us to gain energy. :-)
....so the rafting continues :-)
DIVINE MERCY SHRINE
EL SALVADOR, CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY
I was really fascinated with the view the moment I saw this giant statue on my friend’s facebook album. I even asked him if the picture was taken outside the Philippines. Knowing the fact that this sacred statue is only located 18km west of Cagayan de Oro, roughly 130km away from my hometown, my foot itches. It’s time to have some break.
Oopss…I forgot the basic protocol. People are
not allowed to wear shorts/sleeveless in this Holy place, not even in church.
Shame on me! Anyway, clothes/veils are available in the entrance gate. You can
just borrow it from them.
...back view of it :-)
500 ascending steps to get in touch with the statue. It will surely make your knees shiver, I bet!
