The Philippines – A Photo Album

October 6, 2018October 9, 2018 MyAlpineLakes

My buddy Francis and I took a trip to the Philippines in 2013. This thousand island country was stunning. Since I took the trip a few years back, I am not writing the narrative. I hope you enjoy the photos I post.

Nice to take a long break from social media, but it also feels good to be back. A final chapter analyzing our trip cost to New Zealand is now posted on myalpinelakes.com. I also wrote on how I'd plan the trip differently knowing what I know now. Let me know what you think or if you have any other suggestions. #newzealandadventures #alwaystravel #letsgoplaces #southernhemisphere #plannewzealand #kiwi
Emerald Lake on Tongariro Alpine Crossing! A chain of colorful lakes bordering the Red Crater and Central Crater. One of the most sepctacular sight on this day hike. Come to see more photos and follow our adventure at myalpinelakes.com. My newest post is now published. #myalpinelakes #newzealandadventures #hikinginnewzealand #letsgoplaces #tongariroalpinecrossing #lovetheoutdoors
The final day of our adventure in New Zealand took us back to Tongariro. The weather, unlike the prior three days, was amazing. We had to totally change our plans and drive a long way to get to the trailhead but it was well worth it to see the original Mt Doom under a blue sky. My post on our adventure in Tongariro is coming out 10am tomorrow (12/16) at myalpinelakes.com. Come follow us. #hikinginnewzealand #tongarirocrossing #tongariroalpinecrossing #mtdoom #newzealandadventures #myalpinelakes
The wind was strong and the air was crisp when we walked the ridges of Kepler Track. I think day #2 on this trek was a top three highlight of our trip to New Zealand. #newzeland #letsgoplaces #keplertrack #hikingandhutting #myalpinelakes
