In observance of our day of freedom, Henri and I will share with you more stories about our fancy-free bike trip of Luzon. Next stop: Sagada!
You can't go there not wanting to go back. You just can't. So after years of talking it up, I got to bring Henri to one of my favorite places in these 1,107 (more or less, amiright China?) islands.
While it takes around 5 hours to reach Baguio, it takes another 5-6 hours to get to this mountain refuge and that's actually one of the best things about it. Because it's so remote, only those who really want to be there are rewarded.
We took the Hanselma Highway, the highest road in the country, and one of the most scenic.
Overlapping verdant slopes vanishing into mounds of light blue haze, carved in the middle by a silver sliver of a river or a stray waterfall...
Or the occasional raging forest fire.
