Day Seventeen - Kawasan Falls

Very tired from the night before as we just arrived from Bohol. Last minute decision to go to Kawasan Falls so Fred could possibly see some birds.

famous roundabout in Carcar

Got up about 6am, Nang Veron had to cook adobo and porkchop to bring to the falls. Also got drinks from Petron ie water, coke, sprite. Invited Susette's family with Tia Eileen including the children. Kids seem excited.

Started our journey about 8am, on the way to Badian, we planned to stop in Carcar to buy their famous chicharon and also buy some lehchon. Dondon went out with me to the markets to get the meat then my cousin Susette walked with me to get the chicharon along with the ampow. Lots of vendors trying to sell us the same thing, very facinating as we don't see this in Oz all the time. We also got bocarillo in different colours, too sweet but nice, not good for diabetics.
Next we need to buy lechon manok, supposedly chooks to go around Carcar but still not open, we were a bit early. So carried on to stop at dumanhog to buy lechon manok also bought more puso (hanging rice) just in case if we run out.
Carried on until we reached Moalboal where my brother Guy was staying the night before. Text my brother to let him know we are on our way as we are meeting him at the Badian falls.
Finally got to Badian Falls after 3 hours of driving. Mind you the scenery on the way was not bad at all.

Arrived, realised that we can only park the cars at the front of the falls and we have to walk bringing our stuff to get there. There were actually porters at the front saying we can get them to bring our stuff for P150 pp, they will stay with us as for as long and then come back with us after. I guess it was not a bad idea for someone carrying our things.
Got to the falls, water looked a bit muggy. Apparently it was raining the night before, normally water is pretty clear. Hired a table which wa about P300.

Kawasan Falls Badian

Hired a bamboo raft, my cousin Susette and her kids with Richard has so much fun swimming in the falls, jumping off and pulling the rope as the guide.
The whole day was fun spending time with relatives. Fred at one stage, went off to the 2nd stage of the falls, it was quite slippery. Came back stated there were no birds but he did slip.

Came back home very tired and practically flat. Everyone was dead tired when we got home.
