Moving Time and Day(s): 30 minutes | 1 day
January 23-24 2010
Beneath the mystic Mt.
Cristobal sited a small hill called Tayak. I take the chance to explore the
hill with only itinerary and little knowledge about the hill. Night trek!
We leave Manila at 1610H and arrived in San Pablo City
by 1920H. We took dinner and prepare ourselves then. We took jeep bound for
Nagcarlan then drop at Rizal Elementary School in Rizal. We have two ways to
reach Tayak hill - take tricycle up to the end of the paved road or trek in a
long and dark paved road from the highway. We took tricycle then, the driver dropped us
in the middle of nowhere. The road was still paved but too gloomy and no street
lights at all. All I can hear was the sounds of insects and gust of the wind. After
12 minutes of trekking, I saw my friend car. We continued walking and reached
the end of paved road then we stopped for awhile. I made a call to my friend
and ask where they are. I thought they were in Tayak Hill peak or campsite.
While talking with Mam Sasa, I saw lights not far from us and we heard some
noises. She told me that they were in kubo then I realized that they are the
one who I heard. On their way up, the rain poured heavily and decided to stay
for awhile at the kubo (nipa hut). We spent
our night at Kubo.
