A One-Night Stay in Hacienda Darasa Garden Resort Hotel

Hacienda Darasa Hotel

Last May 2013, I was able to purchase a Metrodeal coupon for a night stay in Hacienda Darasa Garden Resort Hotel. It was almost a year later that we were able to use it due to a busy schedule. Good thing I was able to remember about it a month earlier from the coupon's last day of validity. Booking was not a problem. I called their number listed on the coupon, and the lady who answered us was accommodating enough. 

Conquering Taal Volcano via Taal Lake Yatch Club

We were supposed to go rafting in Pagsanjan one Saturday of December. But it rained in the morning. We were told that since the water level is high and the flow of water is quite strong, the rafting would only reach the first falls instead of the last one which was the one with the majestic sight. So Jener and I decided to just come back again next time.

Instead of going back to Manila though, we decided to head off to Taal Lake and conquer Tall Volcano. We opted not to drive back all the way to Sta. Rosa and take the Tagaytay road. We took the road from Calamba, Laguna to Sto.Tomas, Batangas intead. It was the first time for us to take that road. I had a map with me, but the scale I guess was not that good. We were nervous if we were really on the right direction. Hence, we stopped twice on the road to ask for directions. Luckily, the two people we have asked were kind enough to give us the right directions.
