A very hot sunny day! and more animals please! Me & G.K were sooo bored ( again ) and we’ve decided to go to Tagaytay. We left manila around 8:30 am and arrived there around 11:30. First we’ve decided to go to Paradizoo. Entrance fee is only -P- 190.00 ( i guess ). Then there will be a shuttle that will take you to their extension zoo where animals are caged but you can get really close to them. Their garden is amazing and really big or should i say huuuge and thank god i put a sunblock on that day but yea it was useless i still got a bit sun burnt. We spent an hour there feeding the animals & walking around… i loved the camel btw. and i saw a carabao with a weird hair and his tongue is so OMG! eew! ( you can see it in the video )

Then we went back to the main Paradizoo where you can enjoy the Taal Volcano view. G.K is so stubborn and wanted to go all the way down… so ok FINE! i had my cardio under the sun. While looking at the volcano… G.K asked ” can we go there? ” i said… ” i think so… yea for a fee ” and guess fucking what!? we’ve decided to go. But! since its around 1:30 am… we had our lunch in one of the ” Bulalo ” resto there.

After we ate… we went to Taal Vista Hotel coz we thought that they are offering the boat ride. Yea they do but its realllyyy expensive. It cost -P- 6,000.00 +. B I G F A T L O L ! The guy back in Paradizoo was offering it around -P- 2,000.00 for both of us. So we went to ask around and someone told us that the boat ride resorts are located at the opposite side of Taal Visa Hotel. So we hopped into our truck and started heading there.

The standard price is -P-1,500.00 / boat regardless of how many you are as long as the boat can hold the capacity. So… ok its cheap! both of us agreed. Anyway its our special day. On our way there we saw some guys. They are the representative of the resorts down there. The guy asked us to follow them. And another guess fucking what?! we didnt have any idea that we had to drive 69kms, hillside… just to get down there. At first it was fine then its like 20 mins had past and were still on the rode. We started to ask ourselves… ” wtf is this… so far… ”

After 30 mins of driving all the way down… there you go… i finally saw the beach side!!! and another guess fucking what?! the boat ride takes 30 mins on the way there and once we were there… WE HAD TO RIDE A FRIGGEN HORSE for 30 mins just to reach the mouth of the volcano. So… ok what the hell let’s go! after the 30 mins boat ride… i saw horses!!! BUT damnit! look, im 5′9″ in height and the horse looks like a donkey. I asked the guy… are you sure this horse ain’t gonna faint on our way there? he said… ” of course not! ”

As if i have a choice… what am i gonna do? sit there, wait and mingle with the people i dont know?! lol. So yea i rode the horse. G.K is having sooo much fun! he is laughing at me all the way up there. The first 10 mins it was kinda ok… but after that… your body will start to ache all over. Another freaky thing is that… the road is sooooo thin… if the horse slipped… 100% sure that you will have either broken bones or you gonna die! but no worries it has a guide. For the horses you have to pay -P- 800.00 + -P- 50.00 / person. The -P- 50.00 is for the guy who will control the horse for you on the way up there.

After 30 mins of horse back(ache) riding… we reached at the very top of the volcano and we can see the crater! It’s breath taking! really amazing. And G.K started to ask ( again ) can we swim there?! i was like.. ohhh HELL NO! NO MORE HORSE BACK RIDING! i had enough! but yea the guide said its possible but its a longer trail. MORE BODY ACHES PLS!

After 15 mins we’ve decided to go back down… i thought the ride down is gonna be less horrible compare to going up BUT OMFG! its double the horror! i feel like im riding a space shuttle ride for 5 mins non stop! because my horse is kinda having a hard time going down and i had to lean back so it will be easier for her ( shes a girl and she bites! )

Had to take the boat ride again… for 30 mins. then drive 69kms all the way up again.*sigh* what a day! we drove back to Manila… and we both sooo tired and at the middle of the night G.K started whining that his crotch hurts! LOL! K A R M A ! hahaha. But anyway it was all worth it! we had so much fun and whats important is that we get to spend time together ( like we always do lol ) in a diff place.

NEXT STOP : LAS VEGAS! Wooohooo!
