Taal Vista

Also on our itinerary was a visit to Tagaytay’s famous Taal Vista Hotel. We primarily went there so Yuan can walk, run, and play on the huge spacious lawn at the back overlooking Taal Lake and Taal Volcano.

When we went in, there was a beautiful bride having a pictorial with her equally beautiful bridesmaids (none of whom had hormonal acne). And when Yuan saw her, he pointed at her and said “Danda!” I wonder where she’ll have her wedding ceremony and reception. The ballroom wasn’t prepped for anything. Whenever I see and/or attend weddings, I can’t help but reminisce about our wedding too.

Anyway, Yuan had a great time slowly going up the slightly steep slopes on the lawn and would get excited running down. We would hold his hands while he runs down or else he’d fall. A few more months and maybe his legs would be strong enough so he could run down all by himself. But at the moment, he still needs support. It was fun and tiring because the moment we’re down the slope, he’d say “Up” so we can climb and go down again.

One note though, there is a parking fee of Php100 per hour. So to get your parking ticket validated, just order coffee and/or juices and ask the wait staff to validate it.
