On the 14th, we drove away very early to embark on a trip that the husband had been researching on and planned to have it on the V-Day. After driving for over an hour, we finally saw the sun peeking through the thick grayish clouds hovering above the sky. It was rather gloomy in the mountains.
We hoped it wouldn't rain and we continued with the journey. Another hour on a tricky ascending road and the sky cleared, yay!
A little less than 50 minutes, we finally saw a glimpse of where we were headed. We pulled over atop the mountain admiring the view down there and everything around. I mean, wow! Who would have thought that in that high altitude, there lies a hidden beauty called the Tabeyo Lake!

From the signage below, we learned that this mystical place has four lakes and upon inquiry from the locals, two of the lakes are temporarily closed to visitors.
The vast lake is nestled beautifully between the mountains and vegetable farms. There were not many residences around which made us assume that not many people live around this area. The ranger's office was also closed on that day.
According to some young boys we encountered, it rained the previous day so the area around the lake was wet and a bit muddy. I wondered what these yellow and brown thingy are, they made some fascinating art on the water.
The husband taunted me to go and stand on that tree as he saw on FB that some did it, but oh, no! Not me, lol! No one would want to fall on that water on a cold day, haha! He himself didn't dare.

We walked through the dirt road thinking we'd go to the other end of the lake but there was a net placed on the way which indicated it was closed to anyone, so we just took some photos of the things around.

The husband thought these rocks were aged and it might be that thousands or million years ago, this place was a swamp.
This cabbage plantation is a sight to behold including the mountain and the farms on the background.
We noticed too that the trees are different. There weren't any pine trees around.
We photographed some more, including these wild orange berries growing robustly by the edge of the dirt road.
We then took final shots of the lake then moved on to the next. The visit was certainly worth it.
Thank you and until next time!
