Weekend Getaway...TAGAYTAY

It was a spur of the moment plan to spend the weekend in Tagaytay.

We left at around 9 in the morning and went straight to PARADIZOO.

Located in Mendez, Cavite. Paradizoo is a 10-hectare theme farm and zoo. It is just a few minutes drive from the Tagaytay City proper. It is part of the group of companies that manages and maintains the ZOOcobia in Pampanga as well as the ZOObic Safari in Zambales. It actually looks more like a farm with the vegetable gardens and flower gardens in it. Notable animals we saw was a five-legged cow, an albino carabao and a camel. There were also different kinds of goats. We were able to see a demonstration of how to milk a goat and how honey is produced and harvested by imported wild bees. 

Paolo got to experience the fish spa too.

 

The kids had a great time exploring the place and running around in the open spaces filled with greenery. It was a breather from the busy life of the metropolis.

Come lunchtime, it was a no brainer for any Tagaytay visitor to try their famous Bulalo or beef shank soup. It is not the healthiest of Filipino dishes since it is loaded with Cholesterol but when eaten in moderation, it will be a great treat for soup lovers.

After satisfying the hungry tummy, it is time to satisfy the soul as well.
We also visited the Pink Sisters Convent and the Good Shepherd Convent.
It feels great to be in a serene place. It calms the mind and the spirit and relieves the body of tension and stress. It is indeed a must to have time to have this conversation with the Lord.

 

It was a day well spent indeed. So where are we off to next...
