Skyranch (The Country's Tallest Ferris Wheel)

Skyranch will highly be appreciated by kids! and adults, too. :)

Because we're both in Laguna area, getting in Tagaytay is not hard. That's why when we heard about Skyranch's opening, iiiiitttchyyy feet comes!

There are vans routing Calamba to Tagaytay and V.V for only 80.00php.

How to get Skyranch???

From SM Calamba van to Tagaytay terminal, from there, ride a tricycle to Olivarez then jeepney having Mendez signboard.

And with it, you'll be in Skyranch's Gate!! It was still in their promotion period last may 19, 2013 and all of their rides are on it's 50% off!

Falling in line to pay entrance fee of 50.00php.

At last! Got our ticket to enjoy skyranch.

Because we don't have kids accompanied, our choices are :

Horse back riding

Nessie Coaster

Viking

Your kids will surely enjoy the other rides.

Red Baron

Small Viking

Wonder Light

Water Balloon

Forgot this one! hehehe

of course! carousel.

But friends, the main reason why we go there is to witness how much happiness will "The Country's Tallest Ferris Wheel" can offer to us!

With 150.00php you can see the whole Tagaytay from top!

No.15

It is not allowed to bring any food and drinks..

Cagbalete Island

To reach Mauban, Quezon for the first time, is a nice experience. Taking Lucena Grand Terminal, and a mini bus going to Mauban, Quezon.

Fare guide and expenses:

Lucena to Mauban = 54.00php

Mauban Terminal to Mauban Port (tricycle) = 20/pax

Terminal Fee = 40.00php

Environmental Fee = 30.00

Mauban Port to Cagbalete 9:30am (first trip) = 50/pax

Cagbalete Port to MVT Resort = 75/pax

At Mauban Port

We searched resorts and chose MVT resort (this is far from cagbalete, and can't enjoy overnight swimming..not recommended to you..) For 1,000.00php for 1 night, it may be not expensive but its cost is not worthy..

Just enjoying our stay, we watched the sunrise!

and enjoy MVT Resort.

1:30 in the afternoon is the last trip going to Mauban port... While waiting for our boat,

Lowtide!

Last Shot for Summer!

Borawan Island

Borawan for me is one of Quezon's pride. How can you resist its breath taking views?? haaaayyy... We love this place since December 30, 2012 :)

We took Lucena Grand terminal, ride a bus going to Padre Burgos for 40.00php.

Ask the driver to drop you in RCBC Bank Padre Burgos branch.

From there, ride a tricycle to the sea shore , there you will find for rent boats and pick your choice on how many island you want to explore.

See Borawan!

Their cottages.

You have to brought your own water and food there.

Puerto Galera Philippines

December 23-24,2012 is not a well-planned trip to Puerto Galera. But with my favorite couple in ADEC Che and Bil, we treat ourselves to taste the waves of Puerto Galera!

We reached Turbina Terminal @8am, ride a bus going to Batangas pier. It was crowded that time for December vacation days are coming. We paid ticket in the Father and Son ticket booth for Environmental fee, terminal fee and for our fair going to Sabang.

Our accommodation was paid thru internet, we chose Villa Fernandez coz 'tis so beautiful in the feature page of it (but friends, I wont recommend it to you!). It is far from the beach!
