Paddle, Slide, High Five!

07.19.10

Everyone was up by 5am and was getting ready. By 6am, while we're still having our breakfast, the jeepney from Kagay arrived.

 We were joined by a couple whom we picked up at the other hotel. We drove for about 30minutes to our starting point - the "put in"

No we're not jumping off the bridge

As soon as we got off the jeep, we were handed out our gears.

Most of us are first-timers but still chose the advance course. 

The Advance Course is a 4hr- actual river run traversing through 24 Rapids. It’s priced at Php1,000/head

and includes the following:

- transfer from the hotel to the “put in”

-transfer from the” take-out” back to your hotel

- lifevest, helmet, paddle

Add-ons:

-          P250 for the photos (in CD) for the whole group

-          Lunch – P180

They lent us their dry bags for free where we placed all our valuables.

We went down the river bank which they called the “put-in” and listened to Kuya Tata’s instructions before we divided ourselves into 3 groups.

And the adventure begins... dug-dug. dug-dug.

Mission accomplished.
