During my stay in Davao City for almost a year, I took the opportunities to travel it's neighboring towns. I didn't hesitate even if I am not that familiar with the whole place. I am just so confident enough because I have my travel buddy then Febie. And at this time, we went to Bukidnon. To visit my cousin there, for I have an invitation from her so I opted to go there with no hesitations. To get there in Don Carlos, Bukidnon; where my cousin is living from, go to the Davao City Bus Terminal, it takes 2 hours to travel depending on the bus driver on how smoothly he drives. LOL!!! We traveled by dawn so that we will be there in Bukidnon at an early sunny morning. Good thing was, Mr. sunshine came out.
To my surprise, the town was celebrating their annual fiesta. Lots of fun, foods, many people come and go. We went to their church also. And it feels great for me to get into a church. We headed right away to their famous lake. The Lake Pinamaloy! :))

We took the chance of touring around the beautiful lake. Taking pictures and enjoying the view. With the help of my niece as our tour guide. Thanks to her.It was getting late in the afternoon, we decided to return home because it take us another 2 hours to travel back in Davao City by bus. Truly that was fun, and is was my travel buddy's Febie first time to travel in Bukidnon. No regrets at all! That was so tiring but worth it.
