villa escudero - may 27'06
i had a non planned, spur of the moment trip to villa escudero with my niece and friends last last saturday.
an office mate from penang was here for the weekend and he wanted to do some sight seeing while he's here, ...i actually have no idea where to take him...i just know that it has to be somewhere filipinoish, near enough so we wont waste too much time traveling and unique. i usually rely heavily on the net whenever i travel and i spend hours and hours of research before the actual date.... but this time i had to come up with something fast ..... so when he called me up that saturday morning... i told him...lets go to villa escudero... and he just said ok lets..
its been years since i visited the place...so i only have a vague memory of what it was like...
