Vacation in the Philippines: Tagaytay

TAAL VOLCANO

by: Mary Ann Bolanos

We planned going to Taal Volcano, one month ahead.

I stayed overnight in Makati from Novaliches on Saturday

night with some friends,  we slept early at 8 p.m..

We woke up at 5.45 a.m. - our destination - Taal Volcano. 

While riding the van, it is good to take a sandwich breakfast,

a chocolate drink, water and some menthol candies. This will

prevent you from fainting when climbing Taal Volcano.

We chose the month of January when the weather is cool, and

the grass are not wet and slippery. 

Our guide met us at exactly 7 a.m.

We had a short ride using a boat to cross the lake leading

to Taal Volcano: 

Here is the group where I belong, we had two boats.

We traveled crossing the lake and enjoying the scenery. 

This is what you see when you are riding a boat.
