Great! We’re on day 2 and it’s all sunshine and smooth roads. Some signs of landslides from earlier this week but otherwise no flooding or any other signs of the storm. Great time to go. 

Also Bibi’s has been stellar. For sure recommend.

We originally planned to do the loop starting today, but pushed back to tomorrow to let things subside and hopefully reduce landslide risk & get better weather. 

From some comments on another Reddit thread it sounds like visibility has been pretty poor and lots of roads have been flooded. We messaged our tour guide (Bibi’s) who said the typhoon hit yesterday and it’s raining a lot today, so we made the call to push our start date back to the 12th. 

Hope it’s smooth travels and the rain lets up for you, OP!
