Pritsininni: Discovering Dahilayan Part 2

After the fun pictorials, we went back to our cottage to eat our first meal in Dahilayan - Lunch! Courtesy of our cook, Jiemar. We waited for Pam2x to arrive before we continued with our quest to explore Dahilayan. And of course, we needed to charge the camera's battery.

Afterwards, we took the short cut to Dahilayan Adventure Park. It was a 10 minute walk before reaching the Obstacle Course and the Landing Zone for the 150m zip ride (already a part of the Adventure Park). And there was a new attraction for guests - the Drop Zone. We took the concrete stairs up to the main area of the Adventure Park. We had to catch our breaths after we reached the top. We took a quick look and a few poses (we were on a tight budget so no rides for us) before heading for Dahilayan Forest Park (another 5 minute walk).

Before we could enter Dahilayan Forest Park, we had to pay Php100.00 entrance fee per person since it was a weekend (only Php50.00 on regular days). Voila! The attractions were remarkable: life-sized figures and forest animals here and there, wonderfully crafted playground, Beautiful fish ponds, forest-styled picnic grounds, and some Adventure Games.

We headed back to Dahilayan Gardens & Resort by sunset. Jiemar prepared our food for Dinner. It was like we're having a feast. Everyone was very busog and sleepy.

And Pork Adobo!

We didn't manage to go outside because the air was freezing cold. We even had to close our windows and wear our jackets and socks (the floor tiles were icy). It was bed time for us.

Sleeping time

On the next day, Jiemar woke up early to prepare our sumptuous breakfast. While waiting for our meal, we took a few shots of the early morning view. Then rain started to pour by 8:00am. Fogs enveloped the area. We had to wait until the rain subsides before checking out. We were greeted by the caretakers on our way out to inspect the Cottage and asked us to sign their survey form. All we can say was Excellent! Except for minor glitches like the shower heater tripped a few times, and no table wipes available.

Bye2x!

Our next challenge was to find a ride home. And we managed to ask a group to ride along in their pick up. They were heading for the Zip Zone so we asked to be dropped on the main road and again waited for another ride. Pam2x managed to ask a multicab driver so we waited. We paid Php125.00 each for the ride going to Camp Phillips. Then we paid Php60.00 for the van heading for Cagayan de Oro City.
