Once again had two eggs for brekky and a glass of FOC OJ. I tried to eat more but could not.
The white piece is their famous Milk Fish
Our tour itinerary today was to go to Tagaytay, 55km away from
Traffic congestion in
On the way to the highway there were a few airplanes about to land at the airport.
Since we had insufficient sleep last night, it was time to catch up on some sleep.
After about three hours on the road, we reached the following place.
As Catholicism is the major religion in this nation, therefore a lot of emphasis is given to Mother Mary.
On top of this Tierra De Maria Healing Centre, Sophia found out the fantastic lookout. We spent some time to take photos and to marvel at the magnificent view.
From the lookout we could see the volcano. In order to get to this volcano, we have to take a boat and then ride a horse to go up. I was gamed for the boat riding but not the horse riding. Sophia wanted both while Sophie would have none of them. So we did not end up doing both.
After Dante parked the car at the carpark designated for the public who wanted to go up to People’s Park (the former holiday house of ex-President Marcos), we had our wish came true ie. to be able to ride inside a jeepney.
When Marcos was stripped of his position, normal citizens went into this holiday house and took away everything until it became an abandon building.
When we arrived at the top floor, we saw a lot of masseurs massaging anyone who cared to fork out money for their service.
Sophia and I took more photos while Sophie went for her massage for PHP50 for 15 mins.
On the way back from Tagaytay, Sophia and Sophie bought some fruits at one of the stalls beside the road.
I was so hungry and soon had migraine. I really hated especially when I had migraine during holidays. I tried to rest and sleep in the car.
Wearrived at Jollibee after 2.30p.m.
I ordered this for lunch. It should taste yummylicious especially when I was famished but cos of migraine, I had to force myself to eat.
I only managed to eat the chicken wing and some rice. I gave to Sophia the drumstick. Since I could not finish my lunch, I took away a burger to eat later on when I hoped to have my appetite back.
Thank God the journey back was smoother (about 75 mins) and I also managed to finish the burger.
I felt better and when we arrived at the American Cemetery in Manila, I could go down from the car to take some photos. The thousands of crosses can be seen at all angles ie. 360 degrees. It was a really a sight to behold.
The cemetery closes at 5p.m. and we left for more shopping at the following place.
At this market, some blind people were entertaining the public.
Everything in general are cheaper in the
For instance the above paperback costs <>
And two paperbacks cost about RM7.20.
We had about two hours of shopping before went hunting for food for dinner.
Sophie wanted to try at the following restaurant.
But there were 7 names on the waiting list.
I chose this following restaurant instead.
At first there were no more tables available inside so we had to sit outside.
When a table of customers left the restaurant, we requested to be transferred inside and were granted our request.
Since I had eaten authentic Vietnamese food, the standard has been set high and therefore to find food of that quality again has not been easy.I was a bit disappointed with the ‘Pho’. The soup was too diluted.
Nevertheless we enjoyed the music and the atmosphere. The spring rolls though over-fried sorta covered the disappointment towards the ‘Pho’.
Sophia had Vietnamese Ice Coffee.
Sophie had Hot Vietnamese Coffee.
After dinner it was time to meet up Dante again. Before that, we bought packets of Dried Mango from this stall in Fiesta Market.
