For the past 2 and a half weeks, I’ve been living in the province with my relatives. One of the greatest things about living away in the city is that there are so many places to go to, most especially when my uncle decides to take us out. My uncle (the youngest of 6 brothers) is the most adventurous of all, and he has gotten lost so many times on his adventure trips, whether it be hiking or canoeing, mountain climbing, fishing, trekking or whatnot; not just in the Philippines but in some places around the world. So when my uncle offered to bring us to<a href=”http://www.dumagueteinfo.com/twin-lakes-of-balinsasayao.php”><strong> Lake Balinsasayao</strong></a> (one of Twin Lakes in Negros Oriental), all us cousins agreed to tag along. It was scheduled for Friday with just my uncle, but a previous adventure with my cousins that got them almost lost made my grandmother uncomfortable to have my uncle go alone with us and it was re-schedules to Sunday.
Come Sunday, we were all ready by 630am and ready to leave with the entire family. We had packed our lunches in the night before, had assigned traveling arrangements and other things. The ride to the main gate of the lake wasn’t that long. It took us about an hour to get from our house to the destination, and maybe a good 10minutes or less to get from the main gate to the lodge by the lake. The trip to the Twin Lakes (from Dumaguete) would probably have taken less had the roads not been under construction. I found out that the lodge by the lake (which I wasn’t able to go to since I spent the entire time at the lake, and after the lake, it was straight to the car and home) was actually designed by my uncle and (I think) was built by our family’s construction company.
