TaGaYTaY

I spent the whole Saturday out of Makati *yippee*.. 5 of us (me, Shree, Su Yong, Choco and Kirby) went to Tagaytay, it's almost 2 hours drive from Ascott and it's highland (place like Cameron Highlands). Thanks to Kirby and Choco for driving us around. We'll be stuck doing nothing in Makati if it's not because of them.

We went to the zoo first. It was small and not so many animals inside. Took lotsa pictures as usual. Told them I wanted to go Taal volcano but it looks far from where we are at that moment. Lucky me, when we got out from the zoo, a man offered us a boat ride for 2500php to that island. We had to go down to the lake through scary, winding and slippery route. It took us less than half an hour in the boat to reach the jetty. Everyone decided to walk up to the crater at first because people there wanted 850php per person for the horse ride (expensive!)...we started the so called journey through small pathway full of horse poops for less than 5 minutes before everyone decided to take take the horse instead *LOL* hilarious..but it costs us 500php this time (less expensive). The journey up the hill was indeed painful for the guys, if you know what I mean. What awaits us was awesome. The view of the Taal volcano crater is beautiful and scary at the same time. You can see hot gas coming out from between rocks. Taal volcano is presently inactive but they say it might erupt again *gahh* we hang around at the top of the crater for quite some time before riding the horse down the hill. Again it was even more painful journey down the hill on the horse for the guys.

We went back to mainland and had our late lunch at Dencios since Shree was starving. Again another great view of sunset from the restaurant but too bad it's cloudy. Overall, it was fun fun fun and I would love to go there again *grin*
