		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago Flor and I went to Tagaytay for our wedding anniversary. We spend a few days there and visited several places we haven&#8217;t been before. One of those palces is Paradizoo in Mendez. Paradizoo is a large farm and a nice place to walk around, see their beautiful gardens and see the animals they have. At a certain point we have seen this carriage and for sure many people have made similar pictures like we did. Note the right hand of Flor: she is holding a small stick to drive the &#8216;horse&#8217;. It was fun being there. When we go back to Tagaytay we sure will go back to this garden as well. This time Flor has to play the horse !!!! Share and Enjoy<hr /><h2>Comments</h2><ul><li><a href="http://www.expatinthephilippines.com/whos-the-boss/">May 26, 2011</a>, ana writes: Hi Uncle Jan,

		<description><![CDATA[Our first day of this trip you can find here Day two, after our breakfast, we drove around again to find the local Mahogany market and other things. You will find Mahogany market: Coming from Rotonda direction Batangas. At the Petron station intersection go to the right and follow this street about 2 km. At your right is the Mahogany market where you can eat a good but simple lunch in one of the many restaurant stalls. For lunch we went to the Taale&#241;a restaurant to eat some Filipino food. We enjoyed the view from the terrace much more than we enjoyed the food. The food we had was too expensive and the taste not good. We will never come back here. In the afternoon we went to the highest point of Tagaytay: the Peoples park in the sky. Aside from the view, which is nice, there&#8217;s not much to see. The building, a not finished palace, meant to be the staying place for president Ronald Reagan on his visit to the Philippines, but he cancelled the visit because of the unstable situation back in 1983, so the work stopped and the palace was never finished, although the place gives [...]<hr /><h2>Comments</h2><ul><li><a href="http://www.expatinthephilippines.com/trip-to-tagaytay-part-2/">August 9, 2009</a>, rienus ernst writes: at X-mas time we will go there

		<description><![CDATA[To celebrate our wedding anniversary we went a few days to Tagaytay. Tagaytay is known to be the second summer city of the Philippines and is only 55 km from Manila. The town is situated on the rim of the Taal lake. Taal (pronounced as: Ta-al) is the smallest active volcano in the world. Inside the actual crater of Taal is a lake with a small island. The Volcano itself is situated in an other lake (Lake Taal) on an Island (Luzon). According to vulcanologist the rim where Tagaytay is situated is a very old crater. So you can easily say that there is an island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island. We have booked a room in a small but very comfortable hotel. The Mi-Jo hotel is situated about 200 m from the main road through Tagaytay. Rooms are very comfortable, clean and with good beds. Prices vary from 1800 and up per night. It is advised to make reservations because the hotel is very much in demand. The staff is friendly and a small breakfast is included in the price. Some rooms have a refrigerator, and all have air conditioners (in case [...]<hr /><h2>Comments</h2><ul><li><a href="http://www.expatinthephilippines.com/trip-to-tagaytay-part-1/">September 9, 2010</a>, <a href='http://www.encenada-resort.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>ludwig fuentebella</a> writes: Hi Jan,

Thanks for visiting my website.
It looks a great place to me, I will keep it in mind ....</li><li><a href="http://www.expatinthephilippines.com/trip-to-tagaytay-part-1/">May 2, 2011</a>, lightandbubbly writes: hello mr. jan,

i would like to express my appreciation for your posts re: trips you made.  i am a filipina but having malls around me made me forget about the beauty of my country and the simplicity it could offer without spending too much.  thank you so much for that.  on the other hand, it was also a big help for me right now since my boyfriend of two years will be visiting me for the first time and it helps to have your take about these places for the reason that you are seeing it on a different perspective which i would say would be my bf's perspective too considering that he hails from another country like you.  i have been looking up for places to dine at in tagaytay and had read blogs and reviews about the restos that you had been to but your post convinced me big time to go to the following places in tagaytay...and if i may suggest that you check out sonya's garden on your next visit to tagagaytay...it's a wonderful place to retreat from the hussle and bussle of the metro... ^.^

What a funny name you choose!
Thanks for your comment, it is realy appreciated.
I must say that our last visit to this restaurant in Tagaytay wasn't that successfull as before. Several itemns on the menu were not available. And those were the items I liked the most. So We were a little disappointed.
And sure, next time we will visit Sonja's garden.</li><li><a href="http://www.expatinthephilippines.com/trip-to-tagaytay-part-1/">May 5, 2011</a>, Borakika writes: Mukhang masarap magbakasyon dyan sa tagaytay ah..
