Cemetery of Negativism: A Graveyard with Irony and Humor

The Camp John Hay Historical Core entrance fee includes a pass to the Cemetery of Negativism.

At first, my companions were wondering what the name meant.  But upon seeing the tomb stones, we all understood.

Each tombstone bore a characteristic of negativity.  I found it to be ironic because the negativity are common for us as humans.  Yet, it was written in a humorous way.  So the negative bring as laughter and yet, it also made as aware of what negativity we possess.  Of course, I'd like to believe all of our negativism was left and buried there that day.


Overall, the short visit to the Cemetery of Negativism was certainly worth it.  The entrance fee is very affordable and the a quick walk around the cemetery during a cool weather is a fun activity.

Slide the Zip Line & Rappel at Camp John Hay Eco-Trail

Camp John Hay was our first stop after leaving Eurotel (see separate entry) on our first day.  Our first destination was the Slide the Zip Line & Rappel.  I have a phobia with heights.  But, I find it strange that I enjoy carnival rides and other fun activities which may involve heights.  When we visited Camp John Hay Eco-Trail at Baguio City, my companions invited me to try the  Slide the Zip Line & Rappel and I instantly accepted.

I have tried the the zipline called Superman Ride at Zoom TreeTop Adventure in Circulo Verde, Quezon City before.  But, that was a motorized zipline where the operator has complete control of the sliding speed.  The Slide the Zip Line & Rappel was my first time to try the real zipline.  

Upon purchasing our tickets, we glanced at the zipline area.  I was surprised that it was only a short distance.  Yet, I was still curious to see how it was different from the my previous experience

We were assisted into the harness and asked to slide down.  I felt secured with those.  During my slide, I realized that there is really no different between this and the motorized one.  But, I was dissappointed that the distance was so short that I only slid for a few seconds.  

Although it was my first time to try rappelling downwards, it was pretty easy to do.  The tower wasn't that high so it only took a few steps to reach the bottom.  The gloves were thick so my hands didn't feel anything even as I slide down the rope.  

Overall, the Travel Tripsters sees Slide the Zip Line & Rappel as a fun and safe activity for friends and family.  It can even be enjoyed by kids. It's a great start for them to experience this kinds of adventure.  The price is also reasonable.
