Blogs from Cavite, Philippines, Asia

On my previous visits to the Philippines I was only in the capital city of Manila. One time I decided to venture out of Manila to see a couple of popular destinations in the provinces of Cavite and Batangas. The opportunity came when on one of my trips to the Philippines I had to take some things for the husband of one of the Filipina teachers working with me in Bangkok at that time. He came to my hotel to pick them up and asked whether I had ever been outside Manila. He was quite surprised when I said I was only in Manila on my previous visits.

"Do you remember passing through this trail?" I asked wondering why I don't remember walking through a wide rocky trail. 'I'm not sure' stare. We went on. "What are these cobwebs doing here? Are these mountain spiders really fast with making webs!?". I felt more cobwebs constantly on my face later on. "The soil feels unfamiliarly soft", Janet added. We went on.

Pico de Loro and do camping at a beach somewhere the next day. We hired a taxi ... read more
