Cagayan de Oro Day 2


An early start and a 2-hour drive had us at the zipline park in Bukidnon. There were 3 ziplines in all, with the longest at 840 meters. We weren't able to try the other activities (such as ATV rentals, horseback riding and Zorb ball) because we had to back in Cagayan de Oro by 1pm.



We then had an early-ish lunch at the Del Monte Clubhouse. The steaks were good and the pineapple juice was unlimited (It was a pineapple plantation after all).


Another hour and a half of travel and we were at Bugsay Rafting, two blocks from Divisoria. (Bugsay in the local dialect meant paddle.) We changed into our swim gear and boarded the jeepney. It took about an hour to get to the launch point.


However, there is no bathroom at the launch point. Either you ask a favor in the nearby house or else do your business in the river. XP


Be prepared to get soaked! Not to worry as there are showers at the end point. Twenty minutes later we were back in the city.




After getting our things at the Bugsay office, we proceeded to Lokal Grill formerly known as Only In Cagayan. (By this time we noticed that the Cagayanons love grilling their food.) Pictured are the Seafood Kare-Kare and Turon.




After dinner made our way to Divisoria and had some dessert at another grill joint, Jonie's Grill. (They REALLY like grilled food). Their Mais con Hielo and Halo-halo were good, using very fine crushed ice. We then walked back to the hotel to get much needed shut eye.
