Hi hives, I just want to share this another unforgettable unplanned hiking experience of mine way back 4yrs ago. When I and my group of close friends did an unexpected things, I said unexpected things because not single one of us experience hiking before. All of this started because of one super boring day. I still remember it was Saturday when 5 of us got nothing to do on that day and decided to see each other and our first plan on that day is to have a drinking liquor session however one of us just don't like it because he already drinking for almost 3 days straight and he feels like if he will go for another day of drinking session that's the end of his life (hahahaha) since we are a very concerning friend we just decided not to have a drinking liquor session that time. So we look for another option that we can do for that day and another friend of mine suggest that we just go to a computer shop and play dota 2 whole day. A lot of us like the idea even me wants to play Dota 2 on that day however when we are almost decided to go to a shop where we will play Dota 2, suddenly a super rare suggestion came to my mind and tell them how about we just go hiking? all of them look at me and been asked if I'm sure about my suggestion. I can still remember the look on their faces they look shocked (hahahaha). I just tell them to try something new and since we never try doing something like hiking before how about we give it a try, and don't know what happened they all agree on my suggestion.
Let's go!!! and there you go since there is a little mountain near Cebu City and it's called Sirao Peak which is located in Brgy. Sibugay Cebu. we go right away without proper planning on what we are planning to do.hahahaha.
We go to Sirao Peak by using our own motorcyle. We bought Lechon Manok/Roasted Chicken and 60 pieces hanging rice as our food for our unexpected hiking trip. We reach the drop point of sirao peak to start our unexpected hiking.
If you are new to Cebu city and want to go to sirao you can follow the instructions below:
Meet up location JY square Mall
Take a motorbik/ habal-habal to the jump-off site for Sirao Peak near Ayala heights.
The start of our unplanned adventure.
On the drop point we rest a little bit thinking if we are really sure on what we are going to do (hahahaha). Actually we did a little research on that day about the mt. that we are going to hike which is the Sirao peak and according to our research, reaching the top will only take you like 20 to 30minutes and hiking level is easy after reading those information we feel at ease we just laugh and thinking this will be very easy. And there you go we started our first few minutes of hiking and just 15 minutes of hiking we are all almost dying i can still remember all our faces that time (hahaha) and we are all out of breathe and all of my friend started to blame me because of my hiking suggestion (hahahahaha). sorry if If I don't have the picture of our faces during our hiking that time since I'm already struggling for my life just to reach the peak of that mountain. It took us like 1hr and 30minutes before we reach the top but damm all the struggle and all of the laughing during our hiking was totally worth it the view from the peak of the mountain was totally astonishing but one thing I like the most during our unexpected hiking trip was our adventure before we reach the peak that is the first time that we laugh so hard seeing other struggling faces (hahahaha) and throwing jokes to each other wew definitely we enjoy it.
Below are some of the photo's that I still have during those great adventure. the atmosphere of the moon that time is very rare it's almost like afternoon but it only last a few hours after that the sky turn back to normal. enjoy <3
