Have you experienced EDEN’s Hiking Trails?

This is the most unforgettable walk with my friends in Grad school.

It was 5pm when we already woke up to get ourselves ready for the 4K-walk. This was also the right time to bond with friends and of course…. someone dear to your HEART while enjoying the trail having a small map as your guide. Surely, this will test your ability to follow instructions and arrows as shown on the map. The yellow line on the map below is the trail that you must to follow in order for you to achieve the GOAL…to finish it!

However, the picture below is the evidence how early we started the trail. Is it cool? Yadda, yaddah! Honestly it was really cold? It made me shiver! Like this…

So here we are, let’s start!

To start with, you need to pass the long, steep and slimy stairs down to a manmade mini-water falls. You can’t see it here because it’s behind the stairs. Together with me is Toni, my seatmate which I introduced to you, guys, on my previous blog.

Ahead is a hanging bridge that will capture and full your heart with excitement as it shakes you when you pass it. See that picture? I got it! That’s why I was not there. I hold the camera. I took a picture of this guy out of shame... hahah. Joke.

Ahead of it are big, tall stones that gives you a little way for you to pass. Just imagine a 1 between two 0s. You are the 1 and the Os are the stones. The way is only good for 1 sexy body (joke). Aside from it, it is also slippery. So, always keep your balance and keep yourself FOCUS!

The trail doesn’t stop there, you have to walk a lot. Like this. I feel like a celeb (in our province) . Look like I’m in a park. Oh no!

After a few-meter walk, I need to rest. Thanks God. I can now have my next picture. Surely, I don’t have to sleep even though I really feel tired…my friends might gonna leave me, mamma.

And so let’s have another walk. This picture is taken beyond the fruit-bearing trees--??? (I already forgot it na!). It’s not just a short walk, honey, it was long…so, I need to rest again, and anyway it’s not a contest…Let’s rest again, friends.

And another rest…with my classmates.

This place is just one of the sites you will have to pass. You’ll be surrounded with big and very tall tree overcoming with tall grasses and accompanied by slippery trail.

I want to rest, let me have his position. Don’t you see it? It’s so steep. I find it hard to overcome this trail. I wonder how many minutes i already spent walking.

But I was not alone. Look at them. Look at their positions and karina’s bottled water. See? They also feel exhausted…but how come they manage to smile?

Oh never mind! What I know is that I want to hug this tree. Mwah! This is my baby!

What’s next? Of course, a stop…again… to take picture and make a deep breathe. Hmmmm…. Hoooo!...

We need to stop because behind this place is a very steep hill. See the caution behind us?  LONG UPHILL CLIMB AHEAD.

Here we go! That’s was indeed an uphill. I need a rod. I need Jacob’s rod. Hehehe…

And the next stop? The Lola’s Garden. Welcome my dear FRIENDS! Peace for everyone.

Ah! I don’t want to walk… I want to ride with a carabao, Benna. Go, go, go, Karina! Let’s go somewhere else before the owner caught us.

This is what I really admire most…to see Lola’s Garden. Veggies here are fresh. I want to bring them home na!

I don’t know what kind of flowers are these…but I insist to have picture with them. See? Just like a ghost! Awoooo!!

But before I leave Lola’s garden, I need to have a picture…remembrance? ‘coz I know I can never have such wonderful trail like this. If given a chance to do this again, it would totally be different.

After 1 and a half hour, you can now reach the Matinlo Pond. Would you imagine that actually it’s not really natural… it’s manmade. EDEN is actually about 95% manmade. It’s awesome.

And now, we are at one of their Villas. Hope I could sleep here even just a night. Hope I could arrange some things this December and treat my whole family in this place.

Ha! At last we are now approaching the END. This is a short bridge that leads us to where we started.

And so, Jully…

 CONGRATUlATIONS!
