A New Place To View Taal, Laeuna de Taal, Day 3
On our way back from Eagle's Point Resort, Batangas, we chose to take the Taal-Lemery road via Papaya Road (Diokno Highway) which pass by Fantasy World, to go up to Tagaytay. We didn't know that the bridge leading to Tagaytay-Nasugbu Highway was closed for repair due to typhoon Glenda which hit the Philippines back in 2014. Yes, 3 years later, it's still on-going repair.
We had to double back and take Laurel Road, which was a 24km highway along Taal Lake. The view was gorgeous, plus, road trip!
We're all over the map!
On our way to Tagaytay via the twisting and turning road of Ligaya Drive, we saw this new development by Filinvest. It's named Laeuna de Taal. I'm not interested in buying a lot on this property, cause I'm pretty sure it would be 'bongga' in price.
What I would share was the grand view of Taal Lake and volcano offered by Laeuna's lay-by. Like all private vehicles going up to Tagaytay, we parked our vehicle on the shoulder road and jogged to the other side.
Here's the kids backed by Taal Lake and volcano. Laeuna even had a guard posted on the area to keep the tourists safe, man the traffic and the gate of the development.
Then, there's a sorbetes vendor here. Dirty ice cream! A bit pricey, since a cone costs P20. But, given the steep road that Mr. Sorbetes had to navigate to ply his ware. Sulit!
So, on your next Tagaytay trip. Drop by Ligaya drive and have an ice cream at the Laeuna de Taal Lay-by.
