From a wooden bridge, I saw ten huts fronting a part of Laguna’s Lake Caliraya. The sun was baking us alive, so with brisk strides, we quickly crossed the bridge and headed for the nearest shed. This is gonna be your home for the night, a guide from Mountain Lake Resort Caliraya cheerfully told us.
Right outside the huts, I can see some obstacle courses I usually associate with military trainings.
Oh no. I totally did not sign up for this.

Some weeks back, I received an invite from Mountain Lake Resort (formerly Caliraya Spring’s Mountain Lake Resort). I asked some friends to join and was able to gather nine bloggers. From Cubao, we boarded a bus ₱150.00) bound for the town of Sta. Cruz in Laguna. Another tricycle ride later (₱250.00) and we were at the gate’s resort waiting for their van to pick us up.
