    we may try again. the drive up there is worth the trip all by itself i think. i especially love the place with no guard rail where the road is actually slightly undercut by the erosion that is occuring. i will gues it is a free fall of sixty to a hundred feet with lots more steep slope to bounce down. the floor of the valley must be something like a thousand feet below?? but a gorgeous view nontheless. we have some nice pics with us balancing on the edge. such dare devils!!

    That would be a very long steep walk up! In the past my group will always ride our motorcycles up to the parking area which is near the restaurant. Many arriving in vehicles of course pay to be able to eat with a fantastic view at their restaurant. This would end if people had to do an exhaustive hike up to the restaurant. Why not go on a different day and see if you get a different answer? hehehe

    I never did fish in Twin Lakes nor Balanan. Though Twin lakes is much closer to Dumaguete and thus to reach, the road conditions to get to Balanan is opposite. What I still do dislike is that entrance fee to Twin lakes is 2-system, a fee for pinoys and a different much higher fee for foreigners while more acceptable Balanan lake just charge a little entrance fee for their own surrounding population but the rest so pinoys and foreigners do pay the same. @least this was the situation the last time I go 2 Balanan lake somewhere middle of 2019. Don't know what's now.

    Unfortunately DiverTim is right. Go with the flow. Not easy at all. When I was rather new in town there were a few occasions when I was about to go completely froot loops. Forget logical thinking here. No need to mention a few examples. For the time being I'm stuck in Europe due to Corona misery. Once back I will probably need some training again to go with the filipino flow.........
