Taal Lake and Volcano
Wednesday, March 12, 2008
We checked out of our Jestra townhouse but not before taking a look at Myrna's check list from Mama Lits - turn off appliances, take beddings, etc.
Even from the night before, we've already talked about going to Taal Lake and Volcano. So, after a quick breakfast at Jollibee, we went down and we went down and we went down to the lake. It was a pretty long and winding - literally, all downhill road so narrow at times I had to backup to make room for a car coming up. We stopped a couple of times at some viewpoint to take some pictures.
But the view up on the hill was nothing compared to the one down by the lake.
We bought more euphorbias around the corner, they were pretty cheap down here, about 50% less than normal. We had to cram all our plants behind the van. The guy at the nursery told us of a much shorter way going up and that's what we took. It was indeed short - about half the time it took us to come down but the way was so steep that I was only on first and second gear most of the time.
Finally we headed on home but we had drop by Bicutan - Mama Lit's place, to drop off the house keys. It was already past noon when we left Bicutan but we didn't want to make anymore stops fearing we'll get stuck in the EDSA traffic. We ignored our hunger and had lunch at one of the rest stops at NLEx. We got off at the San Fernando exit and dropped off Myrna and Vir in San Felipe and....
...vacation is over!
