Solo Journey to the Cagayan Province

my 2nd solo backpacking
february 18-19, 2010 thursday - friday

important note (cagayan):
Cagayan, the "Land of Smiling Beauty", is a province of the Philippines in the Cagayan Valley region in Luzon. Its capital is Tuguegarao City and is located at the northeastern corner of the island of Luzon. Cagayan also includes the Babuyan Islands to the north. Present day chroniclers say that the name was derived from the word “tagay,” a kind of plant that grows abundantly in the northern part of the province. Thus, “Catagayan” which means a place where the tagay grows abundantly was shortened to “Cagayan,” the present name of the province.

my post-valentine travel, i did this only for the interest of seeing upclose the famous callao cave.. after that, church hopping because for me, according to research, this place has nothing much to offer in terms of nature wonders. so i lasted only 1D/2N including the 13-hour bus travel on victory liner with 5 stop-overs and where i first visited the upnorth provinces of nueva vizcaya, nueva ecija, and isabela.
