Today we were heading out for our three day trek through the back country of Banaue – and into the world of villages and rice terraces.

We kicked it off with a tour through central Banaue, had a stop at the market (where we also stocked up on some vegetables, to go with dinner tonight), the town hall and the local fire station (also to see, who could have come to help the night before).

We then made our way down to the bridge crossing the river and got into a jeepney, to get to the starting point of our hike.
