Bun of brothers...

If you want to try great tasting burger at a reasonable price, worth checking out Bun of brothers at SSS village Marikina Rainbow st cor. Azure st.

last October 3, they posted on Facebook that they have a free chicken burrito for every burger, sounds like a good deal.


So we ordered the Ultimate burger for myself and the Bacon mushroom for my cousin.

Solo ride, Rizal- Laguna- Quezon loop

Sunday morning and I want to challenge myself , got on my Yamaha Fz and left the house at 6 am. I might as well try this long distance route. Starting from Antipolo and passing the towns of Rizal

First stopover in Pililia Rizal

                      Checking out the wind electric generators






Going to Sinoloan

                                         You Guessed it right! Paete

Well I've decided to push further and go to Majayjay, going to visit some historical places there

                                                    At Lumban
                                                           
                         At Lumban Hydro electric power plant



                         Resting a bit before pushing to Majayjay


Reaching Pagsanjan is easy, no traffic and I  noticed that  most of the houses are old


Upon reaching Majayjay I was relieved, landed at around  1 pm. And It's a small quiet town .

My first destination in Majayjay is an old unfinished bridge made by the Spaniards called Puente de Capriccio, Rizal made reference to it in El Filibusterismo in 1851, Finding it was easy, I asked a trike driver, said it is called "Tulay ng Pige". Locals are confused why I'm looking for it, said that I  will be passing by a dump site to reach it. 

  The dumpsite near the bridge

   Met this guy who guided me in my search





Tulay ng Pige

 As I was trekking down the cliff, worried about my bikes security


Next stop from Tulay na Pige is the old church of St. Gregory the Parish Church, Built in 1575









From Majayjay, going to Sinoloan and then to Real Quezon. The road going to Real Quezon  is difficult, sharp curves and rough roads. 

                                                



A local market that sells fresh sea foods in Real

Fresh harvest from the sea

Lots of beach resorts

Reached Real Quezon at 3pm, I was a bit worried that I might get caught in the dark while passing to Marcos highway traversing the Sierra Madre. Just took couple of pictures and headed to the final leg of my travel.




Loading up with gas

Traveled  350 km

Got home at around 7pm, got baked under the sun, soaked wet, For a rider, it's not always the destination that counts. It's the time spent on the road... Hope you can join me in my next journey
