Cagayan De Oro Thread 3

[ooh-la-la]

wooohoo! just got back from our Team building
sobrang adrenalin rush yung caving/spelunking sa Cueba de Oro..
super duper awesome experience for us.

Rafting is we got the advance course already. enjoy!
yung zipline is enjoy din! akala ko hindi pa namin magagawa kasi nung dumating kami is mega ulan talaga. pero nung tumila go na agad!

yung caving/spelunking is the best!!
before going to cave is mag trekking ng mga 1 hour. hindi biro dito ang trekking nakakapagod talaga. mas ok kung nakapang trekking shoes kayo. kasi that time is sobrang madulas yung trail kasi umulan nung gabi. at matatarik din yung madadaanan.

going to cave mismo is mag rapel ng mga 70 ft. then lakad lakad na then mag rapel pa ulit ng konti lang na ang babagsakan is water na. the climax is how to get out of the cave! may butas lang dun na kasya ang isang tao which is naka submerge pa sa water. yung guide is nandun na sa labas and hahawakan ka lang nya sa kamay para higitin ka. so take a deep breath hawak sa kamay then within 2 secs nasa labas ka na! may sikat na ulit ng araw. hahaha!

I enjoyed this trip kasi first of all.. libre! hahaha
then this is a real team building. walang facilitator but the teamwork is there! lahat nagtutulungan at nagaalalayan na walang maaksidente. we are not all physically fit sa mga activities I mean yung iba is mga bata pa yung mga iba is mga medyo may edad na but lahat kami is game and walang arte arte.

nagpadagdag pa ng saya is yung mga guide namin na si tata at si kokey from kagay. super kwela nilang 2! ang kausap namin dun is si Dan which is super bait na may ari ng Kagay,. yung caving namin is 1,200 per person pero ginawa na rin nya na 1,200 per person included na yung luunch and since kami ng kasama ko ang organizer is may free souvenir shirt pa kami. hahaha..

maybe you can try also Kagay for their activities just give them the number of persons and number of stay sa CDO then sila na ang bahala even we arrived already in Manila they are still keeping in touch with us. City of Golden Friendship talaga!

[ooh-la-la]

^number of days of stay pala. haha

[aisaisbaby]

Mga sis, ano ba dapat ang damit at footwear sa white water rafting? Thanks!

[Maein]

@sis napay, kung late afternoon na kayo alis ng Day 2 kering keri na yan  but if you plan to change Cam trip to WWR, then you might also consider to do zipline and WWR in one day nalang.. kaya lang sis, mukang malabo na isingit yung Monastery on the same day. .

or pwedeng Zipline, Del Monte Clubhouse, Monastery on the first day.. then the ff day na yung WWR. HTH sis.

@ooh-la-la .. wow, sarap naman nyan sis at libre pa.. sana ganon din maging team bldg ng office namin kaya lang sobrang malabo gagastos for that kind of activity-slash-vacation. Masubukan nga yang Spelunking some time. parang exciting din ah. 

[bunso]

Mga sis, ano ba dapat ang damit at footwear sa white water rafting? Thanks!

Sis, I suggest, mag-short ka na may leggings sa loob, ako kasi naka-short lang, sobra, umitim ng legs ko! As in.  Buti nalang bumili kami nung panlagay sa arms,kasi mainit talaga.  Sa footwear naman, advisable yung mga sandals na may strap, pero yung iba nakita ko mga naka slippers lang. Kinuha naman kasi yung mga slippers namin then nakatali sya sa raft

[Maein]

^same here sis. Naka short with leggings, tapos naka long sleeve ..  naka strap na sandals. Sa CDO na rin ako nakabili ng sandals na may strap, buti may nakita ako .. if not, eh malamang slippers na rin ako. Good thing, pm rafting namin, di na rin masyadong mainit. eto lang yung trip na hindi ako umitim ng bongga. 

[ooh-la-la]
