Adventure in Atok

We went to Atok in a cold and frosty morning. It was early in the morning, people were still sleeping. We travel to catch the sunrise and it was already blue hour when we get there and the sight was wonderful. We are going to three destinations, Northern Blossoms, Sakura Park and Lourdes Grotto. This is my second time here already and this article is about my two trips in Atok.

Sunrise

Northern Blossoms

At Northern Blossoms, there were flowers of all kinds like the snapdragons that open and shut when you hold its tip.

But I should tell you the best of all are the rose cabbages. The rose cabbages look so beautiful and the water or the dew on it makes them look sparkly. You can eat the cabbages too!

When we went there the first time there were lots of flowers in the garden and lesser now because of the bad weather and the flowers get destroyed and some people accidentally step on them but I still really like the garden because the view is spectacular. You can see Mount Pulag across, some of my photos captured the mountain when I took a photo of the garden. By the way, my cousin, Ate Brax, almost slipped and her shoes got dirty and that was really funny so you should be careful too. I got my shoes wet too so you should always look where you’re going.

After all that it was time for breakfast, we ate at Northern Blossom itself. We had overflowing bread and coffee. I didn’t drink coffee because I’m still young so my cousin and I ate bread instead. The first time we went there, we had sauteed dried fish, longganisa, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, sweet potato and lots more. I would love to tell you more about the meal but I completely forgot. Anyway, maybe when you’ll go there, you can order their breakfast too.

Sakura Farm

After Northern Blossoms, we went to Sakura Farm but some of the cherry blossoms haven’t bloomed yet but there are still some flowers left. I really love cherry blossoms and my name is Sakura, cherry blossoms in Japanese. Here are my photos of the cherry blossoms.

And because we only ate bread, we ate breakfast at Sakura Farm instead with our packed meal. We had a breakfast picnic there and we run around afterward. By the way, I saw lots of animals the first time we went there but this time around  I only saw a goat.

Lourdes Grotto

Next, we went to Lourdes Grotto and it was a long walk. We saw some beautiful flowers along the way. My auntie bought me a bunny ear plant and I named it Spike. I haven’t bought any plant before so my Auntie Thet bought one for me this time.

We went inside a cave and climbed the rocks and my dad broke his glasses but I fixed it and we went inside the cave and climbed the rocks again but my cousin was really scared that time but she still climbed anyway.

The Grotto

The trip was awesome I hope you’ll have an amazing road trip to Atok too! Well, we have to cut this trip now because we are going to Sagada but that will be another story, bye!
