Eighth Wonder of the World?

I got to Banaue on December 24, 2007 around 7 a.m. Graham and Monina welcomed me to Uhaj Native Inn and shared a pot of English tea with me. (Graham is British and Monina Philippina). After enjoying a shower, I took off on a walk through the rice terraces. I was tired from my overnight bus journey and had had enough hiking after one hour. I decided to head back to the inn and enjoy the view from the viewpoints scattered around the property.

I spent my time at Uhaj leisurely chatting with Graham, Monina and their kids, walking around, and reading. Unfortunately, it rained both days that I spent there so my view was often obscured by mist. I did manage to enjoy some spectacular views of the countryside however.

The huts at Uhaj are built in the traditional Ifugao fashion. Although it was raining and cool (I was cold all the time), I found the huts quite warm and only used one blanket during the night.
