JOVIAL WANDERER

Sulu has been on my bucketlist since 2017, after seeing its highest peak, Bud Tumantangis (811 MASL) while on a boat to Tawi-Tawi.  As it was not safe to hike at the time, I just parked it on my  wish list.  Passing Bud Tumantangis in 2017 7 years later, here I am for the first time for a  weekend of hiking and cups of great coffee with Christian and  Gid !  Thanks to Na Jib for organizing (and to everyone else who helped) and to Gid for pushing for this trip! with hikers from Sulu. Thanks for the photos, Cat! From Zamboanga City,  we flew to Jolo via Leading Edge, a 72-seater plane that just started the Zamboanga-Jolo route in September 2024. ( Fare : 3,200 Pesos/per person, one way, promo rate. Contact details below.) First stop was at Shara's for a nice breakfast of Kahawa Sug (Sulu coffee) and local delicacies.  After checking in at Sulu Peacekeepers, we headed to the jump-off with a hired van (4500 Pesos/day). We started hiking at 10:45...
