I forgot to add these shots of Banaue proper. It has no bank and the ATM is just for show. Also, they don't take credit card here. Be prepared to barter with chickens for food and lodging.

Straight ahead is the tourist information center.

A jeepney, the automotive icon of the Philippines. Away from metropolitan areas like Manila and the Subic Bay Freeport Zone its common to see people riding on the roof and hanging off the back while it drives up and down the mountains. Further proof everything is more fun in the Philippines.

Las Vegas Restaurant and Lodge. Going by the decor Nanay (mom) said that this place was an acoustic guitar away from being a folk bar. Then after serving us the waiter busts out his guitar and his buddy pulls out some drums and they start jamming out on 3 Doors Down and Nickelback tunes.
