very mossy green all over ... but we trekked it for only 3hours .. NOT BAD!

the river below the falls

picturesque

MaJayJay Falls

and you thought we were the only one's here

grabehan.. mga lokals kasama namen hehehe

.. tyring to picture the best part ..

fiesta ba sa majayjay? dyoskoday!. .. andaeng tao!

if the place is not overcrowded -- i bet we'd love this place and be back soon

enjoying what Taytay falls has to offer ..

see-through waters.. we can attest to how clean the falls/water ..

.. strong current and cold waters of Majayjay Falls ..

for "RORO" purposes

This Falls was funded by World Bank for development.. the town is in debt with the Bank .. nothing has been paid yet

we enjoyed the falls so much .. hoping next time there wont be that much tourists

cold dip to relax our dead-tired muscles

this is one of the coldest swim we had to endure

TayTay Falls @ Majayjay Laguna

missing Rhoda .. she's at Los Banos by this time

.. Badz & the nice view behind her ..

Magkupz...wondering over plantation

taking every shot for their RORO application

the team to beat .. one of their tons of picture in this album

we were stranded because of the last trip.. we were there 20mins before the said time but no Jeep!

enjoying the very steep and long walk ... ang mga chubbies :)

view of the plantation of all sorts of vegetables

the place is rich of eggplant, ampalaya, labanos

the view of Mt. Banahaw

Top Load i wish we can all try this next time

on our way to LiLiw -- sa wakas!
