Tagaytay trip

We (me, John & Achi) went to Tagaytay last week of October (Oct 30-31).

Here's our itinerary:
8:00 - Prepare
8:30 - ETD
8:30-9:30 - Breakfast at SLEX

Since it's a long weekend (Nov 1 being a holiday) a lot of people are going to the provinces. It's a long queue at Jolibee SLEX.

9:30-10:00 - Travel(exit at sta. rosa)
10:00 - ETA @ Solenad Nuvali, Sta. Rosa

You wont get lost since it's just along the road. However, we did got lost. I only remember it's in Nuvali and I didnt research on it well. So we enter the road less going to Xavier school, only to find out that we already pass by the lake.

10:00-10:30 - Fish Feeding

10:30-11:30 - travel to Tagaytay

11:30-12:30 - Picnic Grove



12:30 - Lunch

We originally wanted to had lunch at Leslie's. But the google map shows 2 Leslie's. One near starbucks and the other one just further away before Day's hotel. We decided to had lunch at the 2nd Leslie's so that it will be nearer our apartelle. Oh well, we got lost again and there's no 2nd Leslie's. Google map is not updated! sucks!



We ended up having lunch at View Inn Resort/Restaurant. Just somewhere in that road. There's so little serving of Calamares, Bulalo soup is masebo. Not so good for it's price, but okay for our hungry stomachs.

2:00 - Checkin at mcmountain apartelle
After lunch we checkin at our apartelle, which is just 10minutes away from View Inn.

We had the Taal Volcano view room for 3 pax with breakfast for P2550. Well it's originally 3k but got a discounted price of 15% for cash payment.
Overall, we don't like the room. It looks like they are not doing any renovations. One good thing though, the owner are very accomodating.
We rested for an hour since there's issues with the keys and lock. we need to stay until they figure out the correct key to the room.

3:00 - Residence Inn Mini Zoo

We tour the mini zoo then had a relaxing back massage.

5:30 - Palace in the sky
Since it's too early for Dinner we travel to the other end of tagaytay to visit palace in the sky. It's a good thing, cause we get to see the sunset and it's good to experience a very cold wind.

7:00
Our much awaited dinner. This time, we went to Leslie's (near Starbucks). Cost is around 500 per person, but really satisfying.

8+ - we had dessert at Bag of Beans, I so love their cheesecake

9+ we went back to the hotel to rest. The hotel has a free wifi, but it's very slow :( so still I was not able to cook in my cafeworld.

The next morning, we had breakfast and checkout around 11.

11+
Arrived at Calaruega Church. They have very relaxing place.

We had a lot of junk foods and drinks in the car which we parked at the entrance. Next time we'll make sure that we park inside the church grounds.


After a tiring walk at Calaruega, went to sonya's garden. Nothing much we just bought breads (cheese hopia and pandesal)

Then we went back to Bag of Beans to buy a whole Shepherd's pie (mashed potato on top of giniling). This is so yummy! Just right for our dinner that day.

And lastly, late lunch at LZM resto right across Leslie's. We wanted to order bulalo steak but it would take some time to cook it. So its only Chicharon bulaklak and stuffed squid. Next time we would order Bangus and calamares.

Also bought Corns and Pineapples along the way.

We went home in just 1 hour of travel. Good thing there is no traffic yet.
