All pictures were taken at Dahilayan Forest Park
Unfortunately, this is also the day that we'll be leaving for Surigao. :(
But we tried to do as much as we can before we left. We forwent all the common adventures and decided to go horseback riding.
Dahilayan Day 2: Summer 2013These horses aren't under the management of any of the resorts. These are owned by "freelancers" who offer you to ride them for a minimum fee of P100.

We paid an additional P50 because we wanted to take the longer trail. There's even another longer trail that would have been just lovely. You have to pay a total of P300 and the guide will take you further up into the mountains. But we didn't had the luxury of time because everyone's waiting for us for breakfast. :( 
Dahilayan Day 2: Summer 2013We had breakfast at Pinegrove Mountain Lodge at Dahilayan Adventure Park because the food is better there than at Dahilayan Forest Park.
After breakfast, we took a quick walk around Dahilayan Forest Park's animal park, which was just outside the barkada room we checked in.Dahilayan Day 2: Summer 2013Koi Pond again.

Because we had limited time to take pictures, we learned to be strategic. We took each other's pictures using different cameras.
