Back from a
gorgeous holiday in the Philippines. The food was good, the people were
friendly and the views were jaw dropping. Especially on this
lake-inside-volcano-inside-another-lake-inside another-volcano, called the Taal
Volcano. I know most people would just head to Boracay or Palawan beaches when
in Philippines, but I enjoy mountains and greenery more than beaches. I guess
it's because I don’t like the sun (blame it on the melanin levels in my skin
combined with the scorching summers I have grown up in). I don’t know how to
have fun at the beach either – I am too scared of open water and seas.
Back to the
holidays, and the volcano, I was quite amazed to see people living in
near-permanent houses there, and some developers even building high-rise
apartments - all on the ridge of the outer volcano. Taal volcano is an active
volcano - the last eruption it saw was in the 1977. Beauty does dazzle you blind!
