Rizal Tour (Day 2)

Day 2:

We started our tour late from our original plan.  It was almost 12 noon when we reach Doña Aurora Street Murals.  This murals were created to honor the two national artist of their town.  Carlos "Botong" Francisco and Lucio San Pedro.

National Artists from Angono, Rizal

The whole street was decorated with murals and the song of "Sa Ugo'y ng Duyan" was also there.

Murals

Since Angono church is on the same street, we decided to drop by and take pictures.  San Clemente or St. Clement Parish Church is located at Doña Aurora Street after the murals.  St. Clement is the patron saint of fishermen, Angono's patron saint.

After Angono, we went to Antipolo for the Mystical Cave.  Took a ride from Angono town proper to KayTikling for P11.50.  At KayTikling, we took another jeepney ride to Antipolo for P10.  It was past 12 so we decided to eat lunch at Parco before starting our cave adventure.

We took the Cogeo bound jeepney's for P9 and another ride bound to Paenaan (P8.50) to the street to Mystical Cave.  You should be able to see the street after the old hotel/motels on your right.  Be ready for a 30-45 minute walk on a rough road.

To Mystical Cave

Entrance to Mystical Cave

From the name itself, the locals call it mystical due to the holy images and rock formations seen inside the cave.  The crystal rock and waters from inside is said to heal the sick.  During holy week, this cave and the cross on top of the mountain is a popular destination for pilgrimage.  Good thing that we went there right after holy week.

Our tour guide told us that another route to go to Antipolo town proper is to pass by the Subdivision in La Salle.  We took his advise and indeed, it was easier.  We should have saved the long walk on the rough road.

It was getting dark when we reach Antipolo church.  We couldn't resist to have a sundae to cool down.  It was actually fun to just sit on one side of the gutter and do nothing but eat.  Our tour is almost ending, energies are going down (I thought!) until we saw clowns waiting with us in the terminal.  My travel buddies just can't get enough.

Until our next adventure girls.. ^_^
