In Bontoc we had some local coffee and cake, went to the fruit market, and checked out a cool museum. After the quiet reprieve in Sagada, we were immersed back into bustling Philippine town-life, where the roads are congested with jeepneys and tricycles (converted motorbikes with a side car for passengers). 
At 12pm we jumped on another jeepney to take us to Banaue - a World Heritage site famous for its rice terraces built 2,000 years ago.
As we bumped our way along the mountainside, Liv and Rita in the front had amazing views out over the valleys full of rice fields, dissected by a clear, blue river. 
The driver was awesome - telling us interesting facts along the way and stopping to let us take photos. 
Adam, unfortunately, was jammed in the back with an old man sleeping and drooling on his shoulder, and couldn't really see anything!!We arrived in Banaue accompanied by our faithful companion: rain! We grabbed out wet packs off the roof and found a room.
We spent the afternoon sitting at a small restaurant drinking hot tea and taking in the wonderful views of the rice fields that cover the hill sides and the small villages that are submerged within the green.
Adlibing jeepneys.
