Foot on the Loose

How does it feel to sip a cup of coffee in the sky?

Two weeks ago, I was invited by a good friend to the newly opened Café at Mt. Cabuyao, Benguet Province owned by a corporation of her father in law. It is named Café in the Sky. Never heard of it. But it intrigued me that they kept saying it is located near La Presa. So where is actually La Presa?  Well Admittedly am not a big fan of ABS-CBN Teleserye "Forevermore" starring love team Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano, where they featured Benguet strawberry farm. However when I saw the place, my eyes can't get enough of it,. you will know when you see it :)

White water rafting is an exciting adrenaline-pumping activity one must not missed when in the Philippines. This outdoor activity that makes you shout your lungs out while navigating on a whitewater gets a lot of people hooked. Unfortunately, there are still many who never had a chance to try it due to lack of time or budget to visit the provinces famous for water rafting like Cagayan de Oro, Kalinga or Davao.  

Good thing, Camp Allen, a training and development center in Laguna, offers white water adventure in Majayjay & Magdalena, the nearest white water rafting spot off the metro. Now, one can experience the thrill of  rafting without going too far. 

Yesterday, I had my first Intramuros Ecotour on a bambike (short for bamboo bike). And to my luck, I was able to ride with fellow bloggers and the Bambike owner/creator/eco tourism developer and a cool guy Bryan McClelland. 

Living in a tropical country with no occurrence of snow, I easily get fascinated whenever I watch TV shows about people experiencing snow, wearing thick coats and boots,  making snow man and throwing snow balls. But, I remember my own piece of snow when I was little.

The only place I experience snow was in our fridge. We get formed ice and slip it inside one's shirt. Then our play time started. Our little experience scraping those snow flakes was totally fun up until now but to have it in a much bigger venue was even better!

Our getaway in Cebu and Bohol was more of a chill relaxing travel than a jam-packed-hop-on-one-place-to-another type of getaway. But, since a lot of friends have been asking for details, where to stay, what places to visit, how much for the entire trip, I decided to write our 3 Day Cebu Bohol  DIY Itinerary.
