Pink Eco Hostel [Banaue]

After a failed attempt to secure a room in one of the 3-star hotels in Banaue, we drove to the Banaue Pink Eco Hostel's driveway, expecting nothing but a place to rest for the night. It was dark; the town had a power blackout. Thankfully, the owner was very kind to welcome us warmly, including our four-legged little boy (Yongi). And they had a generator powering their facility. They offered two room choices: a standard and a dorm-type. We chose the former and were ushered to it right away.

It was a small room with its own toilet and bath. But it was clean. No cockroaches or ants, thank goodness! So after a warm shower, we slept soundly and didn't go out until the next morning.

The hubby went downstairs to have our breakfast prepared, and when he came back, he urged us to go out to the balcony, saying the view is nice.

Surprise, surprise!

This was the immediate view just outside our door. The town's main road and some residences.

We walked to the east side of the balcony and voila!

We spent some time there, taking in as much of the view as our souls could. Yongi had his moments, too, although like me, he was scared to look down.

We went down to the basement, where the dining is located. There we discovered that we used the wrong entrance the previous night, lol!

Anyway, we chose the longest table with a view.

The hubby made us coffee while they served our breakfast. The coffee was divine, but it gave me palpitations afterward.

For the food, they only offered two options, so it was toast (for me) and longganisa/sausage with rice (for him). We were not picky. We just wanted to fill our stomachs before checking out and running away from Paolo (the storm).

We enjoyed our simple breakfast, then spent a short while taking photos of the place and the plants, too.
