It is a long weekend and we took the chance to visit Villa Escudero where a vast coconut plantation estate has been converted into a tourist destination south of Manila. Left Manila 6:30am and reached this hacienda well before 9am. A welcome drink of "gulaman" , a local drink made of diced gelatine and sugared water was most refreshing.

Retired early, but still active. Very involved in celebrating life! I love traveling because I always come back with less cobwebs in my mind. It is as if I empty my mind of all clutter upon departure, and fill it with many happy memories upon arrival. I also like the idea that life is so focused on the present, and my senses are all playing to listen, feel , see, smell and taste everything novel or not so new. The fact that I only have to choose from a limited wardrobe, or use the same pair of shoes throughout my holiday , or work and survive on a single budget make life so much simpler. ... full info

Picture on front page, nice!
Hey Lili, long time no hear. I enjoyed this post and the pictures very much (I want to go back to the Philippines!), and just saw that your picture about Mendut temple features on the traveblog frontpage - well done! I have recently been able to get one of my pics on there as well and was immensely proud, considering what an amateur I am. Greetings from Costa Rica, I am looking forward to your next post, Ben

Hi po ! We were looking for a getaway not far from the city for our next year Phil trip. This blog reminds me of how beautiful Vila Escudero when I went there as part of our scouts camping. And your blog po tells me it's still a nice place to showcase Philippine culture and old tradition. I'm sure my wife would have better appreciation of our culture and my children will surely enjoy the waterfalls! The place now is part of our IT for March. Thanks
