Long time no post here.

I just went for a STAT 1-week unplanned vacation to the Philippines 3-11 Jan 09.

On 10-1-09 (day before going back to Singapore) my friends and I went on an ala Nat Geo adventure.
We went mountain trecking to Mount Pinatubo.

This is an active volcano which erupted in June 1991.

(from wikipedia)


Now after 17 years the beast is now a sleeping beauty.


It was quite challenging and exhausting but in the end it was worth it.
After 1 hour drive with a 4x4 vehicle, we had to treck on foot for 1-1/2 hour.
We left at 5 a.m. coz I wanted to see the sunrise as well.


Taken along the mountain ranges going to the volcano. The sun was just rising. Nice cold weather.

Then we headed for the volcano by foot.
We had a guide leading the way.

The path became narrower as we came closer to the volcano crater area.

Pretending not to be tired.

Finally. :sweat: :sweat:
We landed to what seemed to be Middle Earth.
There is a beautiful lake in the crater.



Crater view from the viewing deck.

We descended down to get a better view.
