The "Lost" Sheep of Camp Atilano

As soon as Tutubi was able to check in at Garden Orchid Hotel and secured a tourism brochure, he boarded a tricycle to Pasonanca Park. It was a miscalculation since the road going to the park was sloping uphill that made it difficult to traverse. Ended up doing quite a trek going to the first visible part of Pasonanca Park: Camp Jose Atilano which is a popular camp site by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines' jamboree.

Pictures of Camp Atilano:

the tree house you'll often see on Zamboanga City's tourism brochures

inside the camp were flocks of sheep without a shepherd

After the brief photo opportunity, walked forward to the public swimming pool and serendipitously stumbled on a beautiful corner of the park: Jardin Maria Clara Lobregat.

To be Continued...

    When I was small I used to dream of having a tree house in the garden. This place is good for relaxation purposes.

    (:
