even higher to Sagada!!!

early morning we leave for another mountain province, Sagada...stopover at one viewpoint to see the amazing rice terraces again...these were much much nicer than yesterday's, should have just save yesterday's long trekking haha...Sagada is around 1500m above sea level...so was even colder than Banaue...known for its hanging coffins and limestone caves...of cos, we went caving inside one of them...was a toally new and wonderful experience!!!...inside the cave was really pitch dark, but most of the pictures taken seems too bright to justify the darkness haha...probably flashlight too powerful already...climbing bare-footed in the cave was really fun...we decended around few hundreds metre...but too bad we couldn't finish the whole cave tour...cos the last part of it need u to swim underground!!!...and we weren't prepare with all our camera and stuff haha...but caving is definitely a new adventure and i shall add this into my agenda for future backpacking travel haha...

much nicer rice terraces!!! like steps to heaven...haha...
