Start the Year with a Trip! Tagaytay, 1/1/13

Last January 1, my bestfriend Czari and I decided to see each other since we didn't have a chance to meet last Christmas. Then out of the blue, bigla na lang "tara, mag Tagaytay na lang tayo! Sama natin mga kapatid natin." Good thing, my sister Mahal and her sister Charlene (who were also batchmates) decided to join us in our trip. Plus my brother Edward wanted to drive, and we answered his wish for a long drive!

We're on the road! No parents, just the five of us. :)

Tagaytay is famous for their BULALO. Our first stop over was Leslie's. We arrived around 12:30 and it was fully packed with people since it's a holiday. Good thing we managed to find a spot.

Me, Mahal and Edward

Cold weather + Hot and delicious bowl of Special Bulalo = Satisfied Tummies!

I know we ate a lot over Christmas and New Year's Eve, but the food in Tagaytay was too enticing that we can't help but eat more.

After lunch, we walked outside Leslie's Restaurant to digest the food we ate. We took pictures overlooking the Taal Volcano. The view was beautiful and the weather was perfect!

Our second stop : PICNIC GROVE. 

We simply went here for some adrenaline rush : Tagaytay Ridge Zipline Adventure! 

It was so fun even if it's my second time. My friends and siblings were all first timers :) 

The P400 2-way Zipline Ride comes with a free souvenir picture. Sulit na :)

So that ended our short trip. If you want to have a quick escape away from the city, enjoy a cold weather, good food, and have tiny adventures, Tagaytay is the place for you. :)

We started the year right by having a travel/ trip in Tagaytay. I know there's more travel opportunities in store for us this 2013 and i'm looking forward to more!
