Tagaytay and Taal Valcano

Tagaytay is about a two hour drive from Manila in the mountains. We enjoyed the fresh mountain air and cool breeze. This city over looks the Taal Volcano and lake which makes for a dramatic scenery and great photos.

Another popular form of transportation was the tricycle.

We spent some time at the People's Park in the Sky. Words can't describe the peace and tranquility felt here.

Despite hesitation from our driver, Jun Jun, we made the 45 minute steep trek down the mountain. I was determined to check out the Taal volcano, the smallest volcano in the Philippines. My plan was to hire an outrigger and hike the volcano. They also offer donkey rides to the top, but I prefer to hike. Unfortunately the volcano was active and my plan was crushed. However, we still took an outrigger ride and got pretty close.
Our Captain sang to us and pointed out attractions during the voyage. We saw a lot of dead fish in the water, I guess this was due to the volcanic activity.

  2. Halyard Disney Mask adds a sense of fun that helps them feel more comfortable with the idea of wearing a face mask.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocols for respiratory etiquette recommend that patients with undiagnosed respiratory symptoms wear face masks in waiting rooms. That means active pediatric practices and hospital admission or waiting areas should have a child-size mask available for kids.
