Hand-carved Mountains






8.00 a.m stop over in Bontok after 11 "beautiful" hours in da bus. Still 2 hours to go..


It's confirmed, we took the right bus, we're in da mountain..


Nico checking a construction project, probably one of his secret underground antenna for his excellency Sarkozix. Monitoring conspiracy against da kingdom.


Erick, definitely not in da conspiracy!


Arrival at our base. First inoculation of da local wine. Yak!




Intensively planning da next 4 dayz, under the surveillance of a young mind.


Hanging coffins showroom


Real house




Mother Carabao





I swear that wasn't rice!


Rice






Dead man. Surely a rice overdose.


Next day, the sun is with us, let's go hiding underground !


One of those single usage shops


Down to da cave






Inside a coffin... Cause of the death unknown.




Da guides


Nico, getting his bum checked by the local guide for da extreme ascension..








Just after crossing the deadly river, 146th time we put our shoes back on




11.30 A.M Still deep inside, praying to find the exit


While others are not too worry about getting out yet...


2 hrs later, rice is still growing





Real hanging coffins, I assume.




4.30p.m departure for da lake for the sunset




No sun, lucky we took some beers








p225 negociated buffet all-you-can-eat. Busog na!!
We'll get the same for p150 da next day..


Next day, before to go all the way down, view on Pilsipan and its hand-carved mountains. Amazing!!






8yrs old, 24kgs carrying 30kgs of food for the pigs


Feeling blessed to be a girl... or maybe it was a boy!!














Da waterfall




Cold beers :-)


In motion


Fresh coconut ice-cream. Really yam






Da team




Da French Chamber treatment, only special members will understand


Finding our way to the top.



Do not ask me how they get the Carabao to the terrace!


Tricycle band, in Bontok


View of Bontok


Flat tyre, not a problem.

Bay-yo Rice terraces on the way back
