It was raining so hard in #Majayjay, #Lukban, #Luisiana and #Cavinti

Wheels of Happiness

Rizal Philippines   |  October 6 2014

     Angel was well prepared for this;  he had a raincoat on...

"Is there Baguio, friendly Nikki?"  There is none.   While there was yesterday, battering japan (and which caused the serious injuries of FI driver Bianchi  -  huh that is a famous Italian bicycle brand) there was none at PAR.

They say that it happens all the time at Majayjay and many towns around Mt Banahaw.  And so it was in Lukban, Luisiana and Cavinti.

It was dry and hot at Lumban, Kalayaan, Paete, Famy Mabitac but not at Bugarin.  It was wet and cold and chilly

 It just looks like Palawan's except that the entrance is lower and smaller

We have biked to this town, or through this town in Laguna, along the slopes of Mt Banahaw on the way to Atimonan or Lukban.  But we have not known that there is the new ecotourism destination here -  the underground river of Cavinti.  This may give the underground river of Puerto Princesa in Palawan a run for its money.  You do not have to take a plane and an 80 km ride from the city, wait for 4 hours to have your turn to tour the dark caves of Puerto Princesa underground river.  Probably it is not so dark in Cavinti.

Why we dont schedule a ride to this underground river sometimes, fellow Recyclists?

 Rambutan trees heavily laden with fruits, ready for picking

Rambutan is great succulent fruit that grows well in Laguna.  And mostly in Cavinti and Luisiana because of the fertile soil from the volcano (Mt Banahaw) and the cool weather the whole year round.  Rambutan costs P50.00 elsewhere, P30 and 35 in Paete but in Famy and Lumban, only 25.   I bought several kgs.

Thanks Richard for this great unusual shots .

First time to see such heavily fruit laden rambutan trees!
