Day 08 – Capas to Angeles


Rode to Santa Juliana and joined 2 German tourists on a 4WD tour to Mt Pinatubo. I paid 1500 Pesos for the tour. If I am to take the 4WD alone, it would cost me 4000 Pesos. To reach Mt Pinatubo crater lake, it would involved a 1.5hr bumpy drive and a 20 mins hike. The road was quite bad and I was glad they don’t allow me to ride my motorcycle up the trail.


Aeta people of Mt Pinatubo.


Short easy hike to the crater lake


Mt Pinatubo crater lake. Mt Pinatubo erupted in 1991, the largest eruption in the past few decades.


Wikipedia mentioned that “Global temperatures dropped by about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F), and ozone depletion temporarily increased substantially.” after the eruption.


After the eruption, Mt Pinatubo remains active with the most recent activity registered in 2002.


Late morning and the place is getting crowded.


After a hefty lunch (part of the 1500 pesos package), I rode back to Capas for my backpack which I deposited at Mr. Blue Hotel and continued to Angeles. After a short nap, I returned the motorcycle to nice-bike and visited SM Clark mall where I bought some sourvenirs. Goldilocks Polvoron is worth buying.

Day 09 – Angeles to SG
Took a jeepney to Clarks airport and flew home!

Thanks for looking!
