March 06, 2010 - A challenge plays!
It was Saturday morning when they fetched me at the office. I had my breakfast inside the car while seeing the view of South Expressway. Since I am designated tour guide, I need to stay awake. Our first stop will be Calaruega which they want to see for a long time now.
We arrived at around 10:00AM; the church area was crowded since there is an ongoing wedding. They walked down and up the garden to the hanging bridge area. The place is clean and organized as ever where 50 caretakers are doing the maintenance on a daily basis.
We saw a big family going down to the picnic area where they brought everything, from chairs, table cloth and their food. We went up again to the main hall going to the church. As always, it is a solemn place for soon-to-be brides and grooms.
Next, is we head down to the highway of Batangas going to nearest beach where we intend to eat lunch. So we decided to take the Lian route going to Matangbukay hoping we could have a quiet lunch. We used to swim in this public place way back then, the same aura where floating bamboo rafts is still the scene. We were disappointed with the way locals do their own way of mobbing and haggling prices in order for the visitors use their facilities. The end result, we took a thirty-minute drive again back to Nasugbu area.
A quick two hour lunch/rest and we are now driving back to Tagaytay. Along the way, we bought some pineapples and bananas. A quick tip, when you see traffic is rising from the Muntilupa side, take the Alabang exit going to the service road, then a quick exit again to Sucat going back to the expressway. It was a lucky shortcut but effective.
Hope to visit Canyon Cove in Nasugbu next time!
