09:00 am Enjoying the place Photoshoot and have merienda. Tinuy-an Falls has it's decent cottages alongside the river.

Tinuy-an Falls was located in Tinuy-an, Bislig City, Surigao del Sur. This is the first water falls I've seen in the whole wide world. lol It is considered as the widest waterfall in the country at 95 meters in width, with thunderous and voluminous waters falling. I think the best time to visit and take pictures the Tinuy-an Falls is in the morning as the sun isn’t behind, thus giving a better image of the waterfalls. Still From a distance, it just takes your breath away.

Asus! hehehe

There was a light rain and the water was quite cold but it's a very relaxing moment for me as i dipped into the water falls. Picture taking, amazement and joy filled in us as we saw the water falling from a cascading stones. What a view of nature!

As though We're not satisfied with just looking at the waterfalls up-close so we're eager to climb the stairs that would take us all the way up. whew!

On our way up!

..and then we reached the 3rd level of Tinuy-an Falls. My friend wiwit (wearing purple jacket )was so eager to climb up..yay! :D

Enchanted River,Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur

It was an hour long and curvy drive to get there, but the view was worth it! What a pleasant feeling to see a deep blue crystal clear water of Enchanted River with 160 ft.deep. It makes you want to drown yourself underneath and never come back up. Oh Lord! don't know how to swim! arggh. thanks for a friend who handed me his rented floater. Success! The river was surrounded with trees, no worries for sunburn.lol

At the very head of the enchanted river is a cave that’s accessible only when the tide is low. Luckily we were able to go inside the cave and took pictures. The end of the cave was a small low ceiling room where there’s a table made of limestone and a few limestone chairs as well according to the sources I've searched through but during that time the water is still in it's high level, we're not able to step on the the stones underneath as mentioned.

1970s fashion, which began with a continuation of the mini skirts, bell-bottoms and the androgynous hippie. 70s' fashion took on a multitude of different styles and influences. As well as the hippy style of the late sixties.

Men wore lame suits, silver astronaut style outfits, satin quilted jackets, wide legged denims and rhinestone studded shirts. Platform shoes with soles 2 to 4 inch thick was the style for both men and women. Men’s ties were more colorful and had become broad. Fitted blazer that flared at the hip became a style for both men and women. It came in variety of fabrics such as wool, velvet, suede, and leather. Young women wore crop top with a halter neck or knot tied above the midriff. All styles of clothing for men were affected by the disco style. The period of three-piece suits originated during this period. The shirt collars became long and pointed. The zippered jumpsuit became popular for both sexes.
