Tagaytay City
One of my bucket lists is Tagaytay City. I have seen beautiful photos of the said city. So I asked Lyngve, why not visit Tagaytay? Good thing he agreed on my idea. Jeniecel, a friend of mine decided to join. Welcome aboard!
How to get there:
At the corner of LRT1 EDSA Station and MRT3: Taft Station, you can find a lot of buses going to Tagaytay. We took the ordinary bus for 60 pesos, 2 hr bus ride. When we were almost there, I can feel the cold breeze. Wow, I didn’t know it was cold in Tagaytay. The three of us got some colds, tsk. Tell the conductor and/or driver to drop you in Olivarez. From there, we looked for a restaurant. Yes, we were hungry. From Olivarez, take a tricycle to Picnic Grove for only 60 pesos/tricycle. We chose to stay at Mar Herminos Homestay. It was a good place to stay. For our room, it costs us 1,500 including the television, aircondition, hot and cold shower, and free use of gas stove and cooking utensils. The owner Mar Hermino was really accommodating. If you don’t have time, you can even ask him to cook for you. Believe me they don’t ask for an extra fee for cooking, he only charges the amount he spent for the ingredients. Jeniecel got a fair price for her room that was 700 pesos which includes a television and an aircondition.
What we did:
1.People’s Park in the Sky
a.From picnic grove, we took a tricycle for 60 pesos. It tooks us 10 minutes to reach the park. The view and weather was great. It was Sunday so we expected that there would be a lot people in the park, and yes, we were right. Pretty crowded but still, worth the travel. From the park, we took a jeepney going down to the jeepney station for 8 pesos each then we took another jeepney to drop us back to picnic grove for 10 pesos each.
2.Visit Picnic Grove
a.The entrance fee is 50 pesos each, don’t throw it; you need to show the ticket when exiting the park. There can be a lot of activities like horseback-riding, zipline, picnic with the family, kite flying, and roaming around following the staircase. It looks like we were in the Great Wall of China. We wanted to try the zipline but there were a lot of people lining up to do it, so no thanks, forget it. After roaming around, we went to the Souvenir Shop and bought some tshirts, and snack. They have everything you want. You can try to negotiate the price.
3.Visit and climb Taal Volcano
a.I will be having a different blog about this. It’s too long so please refer to my Taal Volcano Blog. Thanks!
4.Visit Puzzle House
a.What amazes me is that the one who combined the entire puzzle is the title holder of Guinness World Record for having the most puzzles created. Entrance fee is 100, pretty expensive though. It is also a resort with swimming pool and beautiful building. There’s also a farm of pineapple. Nice!
Well I hope I was able to help you with this. Have fun in Tagaytay and don’t forget to blog about it. More information, much better!
