After the trouble in getting to Batad

  • Pouring rain
  • Ill equipped vehicle – CRVs are not jeepneys and should never be considered for true offroading
  • Hiking 20 mintues to the Saddle
  • Attack of the “splats” from eating “Spaghetti Bolognaise” at Hotel Banaue

We then had to actually do the hike down from the Saddle into Batad properly through the driving rain. One big concern would be, if we could actually see the terraces, since there was fog.

After all that hiking, there really isn’t much to talk about – since the pictures do all the talking.

One also has to love the the lovely waterfalls and streams that come after the rains

And of course, streaming waters down the terraces.

In real life, it looks kinda like this
