Thursday, hurray🤩
Funny how plans change so suddenly. We were to stay in Cagayan (Region II) for a few more days, but that did not happen. Instead, we left the place in the morning, crossing various towns, and finally the border, heading to the Province of Ifugao.
Why?
Just because of a weather forecast saying a typhoon named Paolo will enter PAR today.

So yeah, we packed our bags and had been on the road since 10 am. We did have some stopovers for meals, sightseeing and even enjoyed touching grass at the Kiangan Shrine, then checking out a National Museum. I will share more about that visit when I will be on the bigger screen (computer).
Anyway, we are now in Banaue Ifugao, near one of the World's Heritage sites. We are spending the night here for some good rest. The LilGuy is obviously exhausted he fell asleep after a quick shower.😅
He loves it when we take adventures, but like us, his energy has limits. It's natural of course!
But yes, we hope to explore more of this place should the weather be good tomorrow. If not, we might drive home before the storm intensifies. Although we are hoping it melts in the sea and won't arrive here.🙏
Until then, we shall take tonight as a chance to recharge our batteries (body and gadgets) and not worry about the next day, for we do not have control over the weather.
