Destination: Taal Volcano - 4

After sometime, it was a solitary ride. There was only my guide, my horse, and me. The rest of the group were together and they kept a good distance from us. I guess my horse opted for a stride rather than to gallop. But on the bright side, it was better that way since I don't like the idea of riding a running horse. Every now and then, my guide would whip the horse in order to hasten the pace.



There were uncomfortable passages along the way. I simply can't just imagine passing along these passages during night fall. For sure it will give me goose bumps from head to foot.



As we made progress, we experienced some more challenging channels and I would say once again, I had to cling even harder to my horse. At some point, it was agonizing coz my horse don't felt like going on with the trip.



When we reached the plateau, it was a sight of relief and it was a relief for my aching ass likewise. The bumpy ride made we want for a walk but it will slow down my pace even more and besides, I paid for this ride. So, I simply convinced myself that I had to complete the ride until we reach the crater. But on the bright side, a slow and steady ride gave me again a perfect opportunity to enjoy the sight and to capture more pics of the island volcano.



And when I gained sight of my group, they were literally far far away. Their very sight made me longed to speed up the pace of my horse but my horse doesn't felt like running. Hayz.
