La.. La.. La.. Laiya!

After several years of not having summer outings with the complete group, we finally pushed through this year. Few days before our scheduled trip, it was raining hard and storm signals were announced all over Luzon. We cannot afford to let go of this chance as my friends and I took Monday off from our respective jobs and businesses. Thank God, typhoon Cosme went out of the country last Sunday afternoon.

We went to Laiya, San Juan, Batangas and stayed at Kabayan resort. It maybe far from the Metro, about three-hours drive from Quezon City with few heavy traffic interruptions, but it is worth the while. The sand may not be as white and fine as Boracay’s but it is far better than the other parts of Batangas.

What I love most about Laiya are the waves. Wheeeew! I am not into surfing but I do enjoy when the waters push me to the shore with its walloping waves. Laiya could be the next big summer destination once developed and promoted well with its beauty and purity maintained.

After Laiya, we went to Our Lady of Mediatrix Church in Lipa. The church was so serene that I forgot to have another photo opportunity.

Lastly, we went to Tagataytay. We took several pictures at Taal Vista and had dinner at Leslie’s. I will share more Journey Journals about this trip in a few days.
