Just when the rainy season started to pour this May, we went for a drive to Tagaytay City. The cloud's a darkened grey in a 6 o'clock atmosphere. It hasn't started to rain but the looks of it, it soon will. We arrived and small drops of rain started to wet the atmosphere. Bringing a kind of dim ambience.
There are two directions to traverse going to Tagaytay, the one is using Coastal Road and the other is via C-5 SLEX (South Luzon Express Way) via Sta. Rosa/Silang Exit. Its a long straight road to Tagaytay and its easy to find.
At the roadside of Silang Cavite, the town before Tagaytay, there are lots of roadside vendors selling fruits like, senorita bananas, manggoes, langka, mangosteen, etcetera. There are also 'pasalubong stores' selling pastries, coconut (buko) pie, fresh cow's milk, fresh carabao's milk, pasteurized cow's cheese (kesong puti), banana and cassava chips etcetera. There are also picnic areas like Picnic Grove best to bring friends and family for bonding and get together. There are cottages in the slopes of the hillside of Tagaytay, with a good view of the area. There are tourist spots like Palace in the Sky where many souvenir items can be found. You can also visit Tagaytay Highlands, and a boat ride to the famous Taal Volcano, the small but active volcano located at the Taal Lake. Alongside the road of Olivares town (Tagaytay) there are many restaurants and bars to choose from to dine, there are also hotels, cheap inns for a budgeted overnight stay, and some privately owned houses offers transient rooms. For people who loves flowers and gardening, there are many different flowers for sale at the roadside of Tagaytay. Some people would go there just to buy flowers.
Tagaytay is not only for leisure but most of the seminars, conventions are being held. There are also different retreat houses to spend spiritual retreat and seminaries located at the hillside.
Like Baguio City, Tagaytay is a cool place to stay not far from the city. Its only a 2-3 hours drive from Quezon City/ Manila. Can spend breakfast and lunch at Tagaytay and be back in Manila for dinner.
