Tagaytay Highlands

Holy week is not only a time for reflection. Holy week, for most people is a time to relax and unwind. This is the longest time we have out of work so Wilson decided to plan an adventure. The destination? Tagaytay Highlands. Tagaytay Higlands is an exclusive place, only members have an access to the place. But for those who are not that rich to own a lot or house there, there is another way to visit. If you know someone who is a member, they can get you a guest card which costs 2000. The 1800 is consumable. You can use it for a lot of activities that you can do inside.

Upon arrival, we met up with Ate Susan, Wilson's friend who got us the guest card. Then we ate breakfast at The Highland Golf and Country Club. The view from the golf course was spectacular. It was much more than what i expected. I never thought such a place exixts here in the Philippines. After our brunch (it was already 10:30) we rode the cable car to the sports center. There they have courts for basketball, badmnton, tennis. They also have an indoor pool, computer center and lots more.

From the sports center, we rode a shuttle (Toyota Grandia), which is totally free, to our next destination, Camp Highlands. They have swimming pools here. A big one and small mini pools which can really be private. Cottages were located near the mini pools. This was where we spent most of our time. What I really love about the place was the shower room is really very clean, there were toilet paper inside every cubicle they have hot and cold showers and most of all, towels were provided so there is no need to use the towel you brought.

It was already late in the afternoon but we still have time to stroll around the place before we head back to the golf club. Mas natakot ako when we were in the cable car going back to the golf club. Mas ramdam kasi na tumataas ka and I can't help but think that we might fall and die. Wala pa mandin si Wilson sa tabi ko. huhuhu..

It was already past 5 when we reached the golf club. Ason still wanted to show us the midlands. We'll take a ride first at the funicular (it was like a bus that will bring you to midlands). There was a viewing deck where you can see a very good view of the taal volcanoe. Since there was nothing much to see in the midlands, we decided not to go and head back home na. Sayang lang because we weren't able to ride the funicular.

All in all the experience was great. It's a once in a lifetime experience. It will a very long time before we can go back there again. Sulit ang lakad namin. I'm happy happy happy..
