Batangas Escapade

Last 26th of march 2011, Saturday, at around 11 in the morning, we decided to visit Batangas, right after our work. 

On our way to Batangas, I surprised my friends for a quick stop over at Bag of Beans in Tagaytay. being here the 2nd time around gave me a privilege to introduce to them this famous coffee shop.

  It’s a coffee shop and restaurant that also sells ground coffee and coffee beans, pies and bread to take home with you. Bag of Beans is the best alternative of changing your coffee-craving pallets instead of the usual Starbucks.

This place is known for its coffee, Coffee Alamid is a blend of the Philippine’s finest Arabica, Liberica and Exelsa beans. When roasted, it exudes an almost musical, fruity aroma. It has a strong, sweet, dark chocolatey taste. It also serves English pies and bread.

Cookies N' Cream frappe

 This is what i ordered, Grilled Cheese Sandwich served with fries.

After the quick stop over we headed to MaryLand Beach Resort, Nasugbu Batangas.

 Riding a boat with friends was so fun.

We went to the "Unknown Island" to experience tenting, It was our first time doing that. Setting up tents, building fire, preparing our meals using fire wood and dried leaves was no joke as we battle the strong wind.

first time to see those huge ants.

 Aside from the beach you can also find a river on this unknown island.

the island trip was a great learning experience to us!

before the Sun sets we headed back to the city, to watch Regine Velasquez Mall tour, with her new album "FANTASY".

Before we separated our ways, since we cannot get over with Bag of Beans, Starbucks became our remedy.
