Our White Water Rafting experience in Cagayan de Oro City was indeed a fun activity! I never thought it was that cool. It was not scary at all!

We traveled almost an hour from the city of Cagayan to the white water rafting site. Upon arrival to the Cagayan de Oro river, we were immediately oriented on how to paddle correctly and we were briefed that following orders from our guides are most important. We were abit disappointed that the river wasn't that white. It was actually brown in color due to heavy rainfall the day before.

There were 14 rapids all in all. Each rapid has its own name and characteristic. You'll never get bored while you're on the boat. Guides are there to tell stories on how they come up such names. You're also allowed to jump off the boat. The sceneries along the river were exciting. There we saw some snake skins, caves, wild plants, big and green trees and etc. The whole white water rafting lasted for 3 hours.

We were all wet upon reaching the end point. We started at 9am and ended at 12 noon. If you're planning to try water rafting in Cagayan, it is advisable to wear long sleeves, hats, and etc. to protect your skin from the heat of the sun. And also don't forget to apply sunblocks prior to the activity.

Before we left the place, we couldn't help but to share our own stories about the activity to each other. :) For me, it was one of my achievements! I can now say, am brave enough that I have tried water rafting. Hehe. I would like to thank the people behind "Mindanao Bloggers Summit". They were the one who planned this great activity. A million thanks to you guys! Till then.. :)

I am excited to know I'm one of the attendees for the upcoming 3rd Mindanao Bloggers Summit 2009 which will be held in Cagayan de Oro City on October 24, 2009. At first, I didn't bother myself to join such event aside from the fact that the location which the event will be held to is too far from Davao and I am quite unsure if there's someone I knew who is willing to travel all the way to Cagayan just to witnessed the much-awaited-event of the year. Until I found that some of my day shift friends will be attending the Bloggers Summit. That made me changed up my mind and decided to go with them rather.. Weeeee.. This group of people aren't new to me. Since I already spent some time going out with them. So it isn't that hard for me to intermingle with them. :) I even asked Tammy if she's willing to go with us and she uttered "yes" and that made the event more exciting. Weeeee..

Upon doing the pre-registration, the group has decided to choose "Package 2" in which we are committed to pay 1,000. The payment of 1k includes: Event Registration, Morning/Afternoon Snacks, Lunch plus White Water Rafting. They were all looking forward to this extreme sport activity except me. :( I am too afraid to try it though. :( Well, let us see for the next couple of weeks. Hehehe..

We will leave Davao on the 23rd of October. For now, I'm just going to pray that everything will run smoothly. I am leaving it all to God. Sorry, I just couldn't help myself but to get excited for the event and for the planned "Side Trips".. Weeeee..
