quezon getaway

it's been a while since i left the boundaries of north luzon.. this time we headed south.

Day 1
it was a long drive to Catanauan,Quezon,
the home of my sister-in-law ate Remy. We drove for almost 6 hours. I had the civic, kuya had the CRV. The roads were already cemented as compared to our last trip a few years back which was one rocky and bumpy ride. I had Tamie, Ate baby and Jennifer as my passengers. We left Bulacan at around 2pm (because Wico had class til 12). Kuya and I met at Shell SLEX for a change of passengers, Rianna and Wico had to transfer to the CRV. The ride began. Honestly, I never expected to be that long, all the while i thought that from Lucena it would be just around an hour or so, but it took 3hours before we finally reached Catanauan. (whew).. While i was driving, it felt like I was a racer from Initial D
since the roads were jampacked with sharp and blind curves. I realized I was having fun after all hehe!.. We reached the resthouse around 8:30pm.. We ate a bountiful dinner and went back to the "bayan" to finally take a rest.

Day 2
We went around a bit, we visited the Carica Factory
, in which the family of Ate Rem developed. Then we went back Ajos to finally swim. Here are some pictures.

We ate dinner at Ajos because it was Lola Antonia's birthday celebration. We were really stuffed with all these native Filipino dishes such as Lechon (and sarap nung balat grabe!), Kare-kare, Giant Squid, Calderetang Muscle of Beef, Sweet and Sour Fresh Catch fish.. and a whole lot more!!!

Day 3
Attended mass at 9:30am (well actually we were 20mins late).. Went home to eat lunch and then went back to Ajos once again to swim.. But this time we took a boat ride for a little snorkeling and swimming..:) after swimming,we had dinner,CRABS!.. honestly im not a seafood person but the crab dish looked very enticing.. I had to have some.. unfortunately,after two rounds i started to itch :( too bad.. i had to stop and eat the garden salad instead!hehe.. it was very good though.. balsamic orangey sort of dressing.. yumyum!

Finally day 4..
Like any other vacation,all these had to end.. All the pigging out ended by noon.. all the swimming and all the fun had to be left behind.. :( we left Quezon around 2:00pm.. Had too many stopvers due to pasalubongs and stuff and most of all back to reality,the TRAFFIC!! gggrrr..!! SLEX was soooo trafffiiicc!.. we were able to get to bulacan around 9:30pm.. Was i tired?super!ehhee!!.. but anyhow, remembering all the good stuff we had in Quezon makes me forget the hassles here in Manila.. Sarap magbaksyon!!

Nanay and Tatay, thanks for all the hospitality you gave us!! Til next year!:)
