Our year end team outing is yet to come! After 48 years (LOL), the team has finally organized a team building. We were very busy with our personal stuffs that's why. :D We've opted something like "The ranch" not only for their facilities but also for their love of nature. You know, since I am a woman in love with nature, this place is just exactly what we wanted.

Being an internet savvy helped me a lot in finding for this place without even getting lost. Going to "The Ranch" may seemed to be difficult but mind you it was so easy. 

The road to Toledo City

First you have two choices, either you go to toledo by bus or by van (v-hire). We opted for a van that costs us 100 peso each. The journey isn't that long, it'd take you not more than an hour. When arrived in Toledo, go look for "Metro Plaza" that's a well-known department store, located on the right hand side of the road fronting toledo terminal. 

Next step before reaching The ranch is to ride a tricycle for 20 peso each. Just a few kilometers from Metro is where you can find your way.

You will be ask to pay for the entrance before you are allowed to enter. The fee is inclusive of pool use. Take note no bringing of food, you may order at their cafe. You can also enjoy other activities aside from swimming.

You can see their products made from real honey at their entrance. 

Cafe's located on the right.

Visible from the entrance is their 5 feet pool. Not only that , they have some more pools that's shallower.

Very amazed by the pools we forgot to order for lunch and ended up very hungry. So we went back to our cottage and ate.

Our assigned cottage. We were able to choose since we were earlier. A few hours after we arrived, numbers of guests were already crowded.

20 peso per cup.

#A fuzzy and unplanned joy ride#

May 24, 2013

Rest days start tomorrow so wondering whereabouts to go... hmmm... Didn't know where our feet will take us for our excursion but one thing is for sure... we will surely enjoy the ride... :p

(Located at the right hand side of road from the city)

First stop was at ESTACA BAY compostela formerly known as stakili. I was surprised by the beach for it wasn't any white sand though we only paid 30 peso for the entrance fee. 

Restaurant prices aren't that expensive but it wasn't also that cheap. Though we tried their combo meal consists of burger, fries and iced tea for 85.00 peso. For the burger patty t'was large and juicy, bun was too thick but it tasted good enough or maybe because I was very hungry...lol. The fries were overcooked and the tea was so sweet that we had to ask another glass full of ice.

Good thing they have a pool but the pool guard didn't allow us to plunge since we didn't have the proper swimming attire :( so we just went to their restaurant and find something good to eat. Pool fee is 100.00 peso.

Upset we couldn't swim in the pool because the beach wasn't so attractive we had to move for another joy ride. Meters away from estaca bay is where the GREEN LAGOON situated.

Entrance fee in the area is 20.00 peso. They really have big signage so people won't have to ask where's the rest room or the grilling area, etc.

They also have a pool and it's bigger compared to estaca bay. Same price as estaca bay. Here at green lagoon you can wear any. They don't mind not wearing proper swim wear. Of course! I indulged myself into the pool as if I never swam before..hahaha...

In spite of my fear of slides I still managed to try it several times... yehey!

I didn't get much information of the place since I'm too tired and dizzy... After the pool all I thought was to go home and have a good night sleep...
