After a stressful week in the office, you just want to rest and unwind. Sometimes, you might just want to stay away from the city.

Antipolo City, the capital of Rizal Province offers a breathtaking view. My friend told me to see this Cloud 9 along Marcos highway where you get a chance to enjoy the 360 degrees view of Metro Manila. I arrived past 6AM and since it opens at exact 7AM, i had a chance to get a coffee and enjoy this view.

To reach the peak, you have to go through this hanging bridge. This is tougher than it looks. Once you started your way on this bridge, there is no turning back. (You cant go back coz this is one-way and is only good for 1 lane.)

The end is rewarding because you get to see these views...

Very relaxing view...

If you still have an extra time, you can also visit the infamous Antipolo Church. Starting and ending my week with a simple prayer is really something.

I introduced myself on my intro as a solo traveler. I love going to places alone and being a solo backpacker has its perks.

Have you ever been here?
Or have you been to places as beautiful as this or perhaps, more?

To all solo travelers/backpackers like me.....

-We are alone, but never lonely... :)
