"I Love Destinare - Wishing Mountain" **Hey read cash fam! This is just a continuation as I could not write it in one article as aside from it would be too long, surely my article would be flooded by pictures.** **Here are the links of my previous** ***ganap;*** **My longest Boat Ride** https://read.cash/@Lhes/my-longest-boat-ride-1a72ebf8 **Island Hopping- Capones Zambales** https://read.cash/@Lhes/island-hopping-capones-zambales-1117e8e5 **Let's go back to Basic - Anawangin Cove** https://read.cash/@Lhes/lets-go-back-to-basic-anawangin-cove-37d4d284 So after we were done with our delicious lunch we took a short nap. We are all sleepy as most of us don't have a decent sleep. When we woke up some of us decided to roam around the resort as the sun was still hot to trek. The good thing here was the camping site was shield against the scorching heat of the sun. Thanks to beautiful trees for giving shade.

It's only us as some of my companions are still sleeping. We don't want to bother them as maybe they are still tired. We are too, actually it is just we are too restless to stay in one place. I was wondering what was the name of these trees. It is my first time to see and it is all over the resort.

We then passed by this lake with some swans swimming. Hehe, kidding it is not swan, just ducks. This reminds me of Kuya @TengoLoTodo as he shared a couple of times with the swan in a nearby lake when he was out for a walk. Sorry I forgot their names, kindly remind me please. On the other hand, I was actually imagining what if there are some crocodiles that will suddenly show up and chase us? Don't they usually stay in this kind of water? Correct me if I am wrong. In that case for sure I'm gonna run for my life. Haha, just my morbid thoughts sometimes. After we saturate the other side of the resort and as our eyes were definitely full/refreshed and enjoyed by nature. Filling our lungs with fresh air as it was indeed refreshing we decided to go trekking. There are two mountains for trekking yet we decided to take the nearest to our tent which is the " ***WISHING MOUNTAIN*** ". I don't actually know why it was named like that. I haven't seen a wishing well or wishing area. OR maybe I am just unable to see it due to my excitement. Before we can start, I was just surprised a bit as there was an entrance fee amounting to $1. I could hear some local tourists murmuring in disagreement. I just told them we should pay for us to start the journey as when we go back the city what we can still earned that.

There was no signage to determine the **MASL** (meters above sea level) but one thing I am sure of is that it is good for beginners and even kids. Yes it was a little bit high but there was a man made stairs with a stainless handle. Surely it wouldn't be hard to reach the summit. My knees just got tired easily as the stairs/steps were too big compared to mine. What the h3ll, for sure the one who made this got long legs and was unable to anticipate that there are short legged people like me, LOL.

See? just an easy pie to climb up, no sweat. Charr!, Of course I was badly sweating when I reached the summit with matching catching of breath. My legs were even shaking. AHA this reminds me this is the result of being lazy since the pandemic, no physical activities. Yet I am confident to say that all your sweats are worth it upon reaching the summit and seeing this GREAT VIEW!

That's me and Ms. Mav. I glad she is with us as we have the same adventurous? Haha! We can't just stand in a corner knowing there is still an area left we haven't checked and took some photos. So even though our companions are trying to stop us we didn't listen. Still we went near that cliff. Oh we got a nice pictures though.

Here is the other side VIEW. After we satisfied ourselves we decided to leave the place as it was near 5PM and I still wanted to try the banana boat. But WAIT! I saw one local tourist took some photo's standing in one of the letters in " ***I LOVE DESTINARE***" resorts name. I got envious and told my Boss I wanted to try it too! I thought it was just easy to climb up as I saw the guy didn't have a hard time. Ohmmm, maybe he had long legs? I was so confident with myself as I used to climb like a monkey when I was a kid. What happened now? I find it hard to lift my body! OMG! After several tries, I was glad I finally made it. Though my legs were shaking while standing, trying to balance myself.

Haha, no doubt I really love mountains. There is a different feeling of satisfaction for me moment I reach the summit. Looking down and seeing how high I manage to climb up while silently telling myself; I made it! *That's all for today and see you again tomorrow!* *05:16PM* ***05/28/2022_Manila_Philippines*** **You can contact me here.** **Noise cash** https://noise.cash/u/Lhes ***Telegram*** https://t.me/Lhes18
