This is almost sea level. A common scene of rice fields.

We stopped at a couple of places on the way up.

Until we finally arrived at the lake.

The place was full of happy singing frogs, ready to pose for a photo!

This one's favorite was the Ferrari look.

There were wild flowers of different types and colors.

We found even more interesting flowers the next day on our way to SUBATAN.

The yellow flowers were mostly close to the water.

This looked and smelled oregano, but it had bloomed in lilac.

As we approached the mist, we knew we were getting closer to our destination.
