Mayflower madness

Got carried away by the beauty (and bargain price) of white roses and got dozens of them. They're all over the house now!

Flora in May

Tried to capture the gardens surrounding the PHINMA buildings, bonsai near Carlo's Pizza near the ridge, view from Loumar's, and kapok trees in San Pablo

Bakasyon: Day 4 in Kinabalu Botanical Garden

Bakasyon: Days 3 & 4

On Day 3, we went to the Philippine Market where most of the goods sold can also be found in Aldovinco in Davao, the Barter Zone in Zamboanga, and the Jewelry stalls in Greenhills. It was fun meeting sales people originally from Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, and Zamboanga.

On Day 4, we toured the Poring (Bamboo) Hot Springs where we did the Canopy Walkway and took a dip in the hot tub. After this we paid dear money (30 Ringgit = 420 Pesos) to see 2 Rafflesias (World's biggest flower) in bloom.

Moon Garden

It's a Bed & Breakfast (but they don't serve breakfast) in Tagaytay. Another delightful one in a series of discoveries! I would have wanted to keep this place a secret but it was too beautiful not to share with friends. We had lunch here - a fitting end to our short family holiday.
