This was most definitely an excursion with a difference.
It is now almost 3 years since Big Bird, Jacky and I took an unforgettable boat ride up the river through the jungle to Pagsanjan Falls where Francis Ford Coppola's Apocolypse Now was filmed at the end of the 1970s.
So this time, in the esteemed company of Jo, Toni and Mat, we chose to go a different way, hiking to the torrents via El Pueblo Salvador Park instead, where we alternated between climbing and then rappelling down the cliff face.
Upon our arrival at the Falls we were taken almost directly under the huge cascade of water on a raft, after which we took a well-deserved break immediately behind the gigantic spray in the aptly named Devil's Cave.
Having recovered our strength, we then headed back up the mountain where we indulged in a Boodle Fight late lunch at the tranquil Villa Socorro en-route back to Manila.
As far as Sunday mornings are concerned, they certainly don't get much better than this.
