Cliffs of Mon


This isn't some quarry site nor some lahar area. It's several cliffs made of chalk called, Cliffs of Mon located in Stege, Denmark.
It is cold, like an early morning stroll at the mossy forest in Pulag. But if you're walking for about 20 minutes or so, then jackets begin to be stripped off.
It's such a wonderful piece of nature that's so accessible to tourists with its 415 or so wooden steps leading down to the beach.
Well, the beach isn't really a beach coz it only has about a few inches of sand on it. Mostly are stones, like those being used for scrubbing.
I was panting, and my knees were shaking up to a certain point. Well, that's everybody else too.
We were supposed to sail towards the cliffs but the pilot backed off sayaing that the waves are too high. So we chose taking the bus instead so a few minutes after, the happy troopers from the workshop began filing themselves into a logical sequence.
I was part of the lead pack of course, leaving my fellow colleagues at the tail. Well, going to the montains and the beach is really my thing. And after the long day's work, I really was eager to go about the hike and discover the things that it offers. And what i did see was there was enough chalk there to be used in all the puclic schools in the Philippines for at least 2 years.
Ambitious? Who wouldn't be after seing such an amazing place!
