i was up in mt. pinatubo!

can't believe a week has passed since i trekked up mt. pinatubo. i had been looking forward to it since last month, and now it's over.

it was quite an experience being in the crater of a volcano that had massive effects on the country and the world. pretty hard to believe that something that has caused a lot of devastation just a few years back is now a site of marvelous greenery and magnificent views. the rocky terrain, the color of the water in the lake--incredible, really.

our mt. pinatubo trek was arranged by a subic-based travel agency--seahorse tours. they had a spa and trek day package, which included a shuttle from subic to capas, 4x4 ride up to mt. pinatubo, guided trek the rest of the way, lunch at the spa, and spa treatments.

so for the next posts, you'll be reading about my mt. pinatubo adventure--seahorse tours service, PDC spa town at pinatubo, the trek up mt. pinatubo, and seorabeol grand leisure hotel in subic, where we decided to stay the night after the exhausting adventure.
