Just like any other adventure, of course, we started it with a fun road trip from our bakery to the beautiful rest house of our friend Luther, He's also the one who drove us to his place. The rest house is so perfect! it has a mix of modern and traditional design, mixed with wooden parts and furniture. Take a look!

This is my favorite spot, their balcony provides a perfect view of the beautiful mountain. From there you can already see a lot of famous camping sites that are also well known tourist spots here in Negros Occidental.

I've collected some flowers from there, put in a book, and dried. Those dried flowers were perfect to be used as a design for letters which I gave to my loving partner, she really loves those things❤️.

After eating and sightseeing, we went to the hidden qZ RUSSIAN FALLS! Locals called it Russian Falls because it is owned and is being developed by a wealthy Russian man. My friend says he's a retired boxer or fighter, something like that.

This place is free for tourists, such a beautiful place that contains various species of flowers and fish. It also has a lot of man-made swimming spots where natural fresh cold water flows. The water comes from a nearby hidden falls. It has a lot of picture-perfect spots that are perfect for your Instagram posts!

The water is so clear when we arrive, Makes you wanna jump immediately because of the hot sunny weather! and yes, I jumped and also immediately realized that the water was so cold! hahaha. It feels nice though after a few minutes of swim.

We walked for a few minutes on the forest terrain to finally visit the SEVENTH FALLS. I was once told that there are a lot of falls are located here in our place and each of them are named after their precedence of levels. The sixth falls is located at Mambukal Resort which is at a lower place. I wasn't able to capture a lot of photos from the falls because I was all wet and my phone, unfortunately, is not waterproof hahaha. Though I assure you that the place was naturally beautiful!

After a few hours of swimming and hiking, we decided to go back to the rest house to change clothes and rest a bit. Then we went to another gorgeous spot hidden in vast sugarcane fields in the mountain.

I'm so in love with this gorgeous mountain view. It always feels like I'm in another country like Switzerland.

This is the breath taking spot that my friend is talking about, they call it "Bakante" it is an abandoned military Helipad made in 90's.

This is such a lovely and peaceful view. You can see the beautiful mountains and the Bacolod city from afar, so as the vast sea towards Ilo-ilo. Unfortunately, my partner wasn't with me on this adventure and I know she'll be happier than me to be here.

I promise to bring you here soon @breepickledoodle, in God's perfect time!
