The mountains - a trip to Tagaytay

On our first visit in April we also had time for a trip to the mountains. Early a Sunday morning we went off for an excursion to the cool and breezy town of Tagaytay about an hour and a half south of Manila. A lovely little place where we had lunch at Sonya's Garden and then tried to make our way through the Manila weekend hordes at the Picnic Grove, where we got some great views of the the Lake Taal and its volcano. The drive up to Tagaytay, made us think about Central America again and we felt far away from Vietnam. But in a better way than inside Manila.

Lake Taal and its volcano. Next time we'll go climb it!

On the way to Tagaytay. Or to Comayagua?

Coffee beans.

Taking a break.

Lovely vegetarian lunch at Sonya's garden.
