Conquered Simala Shrine Mountain 😎

Hello everyone 😁 how was your day today? I am back once again to report on my actifit activity today yay 😁

I love the morning walk today due to the spectacular sun rise I've witnessed this morning. I mean all sun rises are spectacular to my eyes but it's been a few weeks that I haven't really seen a sun rise thanks to the southwest moonsoon which is bringing rains to the whole country 😅 It being the first real sun rise in 2 weeks makes it even more spectacular than usual. I feel like something really good will happen today. That is what my gut tells me 😉

In the afternoon I had time to go out for a ride. At first my plan is to roam around town and look for beautiful places or architectures to take a photo of coz one of my fellow photographers have messaged me that we could pass 3 photos of beautiful places in our town so they can show it in the big screen in our park thus promoting us photographers. So I planned to do just that and look for beautiful places. One of the most iconic places in our town is the "Simala Shrine" which is one of the most miraculous churches in the whole Philippines and is quite famous as a tourist attraction in our town. So I decided to go there this afternoon...

There's only one problem... That place is way high above the mountains 😅 and in order to get there I have to climb a mountain so I did just that...

I was able to conquer this mountain and able to visit the shrine with just using my bike. I've been here a few times before but now it seems to be properly guarded with walls and etc 😅 I didn't even know that I can't enter the monastery with my bike so I had no choice but to take a selfie outside the gates 😂 I could park my bike in the parking area but I'm 100% sure when I get back my bike would be gone 🤣 so that option was out of the question 😂

Well I guess I'll just come back next time with my motorcycle so I can enter without any worries that my motorcycle will get stolen 😂 my plan of taking pictures of the monastery was ruined but at least I have finally conquered this mountain and thus move on to the next target/goal 😉 If you look at my forehead it is sun burnt because it was quite hot out 🤣

When I went down the mountain I took the other route and found a river so I stopped by to take pictures of it. I got some shots and I hope it will turn out good 😁

After my mountain climb I went to the park to relax where I found my photographer buddies there so we roamed around the park to take pictures of the people there 😉 With this ends my activity for today 😊 Hope you guys enjoyed it. Till next time! Cheers 😎
