The drone shot was taken last January 9, 2022 by my friend Matthew (@eyeronicmaniniyot). This was a defining moment for me, for all of us who were here actually. From a supposed cancelled trip, this turned out into something amazing. We initially invited a different set of friends, but a miscommunication with that group made us rethink the trip. But as fate has set it, we contacted another set of friends and in a matter of minutes it was decided that we're pushing through with our initial plan of having a picnic at this magical spot. We bought what needed to bought, and immediately set to meet with our friends right after lunch.
Getting to the spot took us to a couple of wrong detours, and chasing the sunset pressured me a bit, but we managed to make it just in time. The moment we arrived we did the set up, laid the food on the table, and opened our bottle of wine...this all happened while taking tons of photos. Just as the sun turned to dusk, my cousin arrived from the brink of giving up because we were at a spot where there was no landmark to tell her otherwise.
She ate what was left of our food and wine, and we laughed until the darkness fell. There was a lot of laughter that happened that day. It was a first for all of us. Definitely one for the books. Definitely not the last time this will happen.
