Revisiting the Philippines in the Ongoing Pandemic (Part 2)

 

Preparing for take-off...

As I wrote previously, here is the second part of my blog. 

We returned to the Philippines for a five-day visit in late November 2022 to renew our driver's licenses. The process took two hours. We did it at the Land Transportation Office in Muntinlupa City. The processing began at 9 AM. Everything was the same, except that this time, the license is valid for 10 years (formerly five years). Yeyyy! 

We followed the activities in our itinerary. Basically: Meet my side of the family, meet our close friends, and meet my husband's side. Thank God. We were able to accomplish those. Although I was hoping that we could stay longer to visit former churchmates, other friends, and relatives, especially my father's side. Besides, it was my husband's first time since 2018 to revisit home. Not to mention the grueling documentation so that he could travel. 

All in all, it was a productive and pleasant short trip. We had things to do daily and ticked them all on the list. One of them is to pick up a box of VerraCoffee for our December bazaar inventory.

I wished there was more time to go to Tagaytay. We were planning to go to our small orchard and other favorite places, such as Tagaytay Royale Country Club. Maybe next time.

Right now, we're saving up again to plan for a possible trip this year. Hopefully, we can save more money, so we can stay longer, eat more, and enjoy ourselves further. Haha! I welcome sponsors wholeheartedly. :-D

Segovia, Spain: The Cathedral, Alcazar, and Roman Aqueduct

If you are in Madrid, make it a point to take that trip to the nearby Segovia. It is another historic place minus the hustle and bustle of the busy capital. We tried both transportation means. First, we took the bus, which was an hour-and-a-half ride. It was only EUR4 per person for a departure at 11 AM. Returning, we rode the fast train at only EUR14 per passenger departing at 5:30 PM. The other options are whole-day packaged tours, including bus fares, to and fro. Get Your Guide offers convenient choices for activities and fares in Segovia. The bus ride offered nice views of what lies outside of Madrid. The train windows were closed throughout the trip because it was super hot! In fact, it was a bit warm inside the train. Our first stop was the Alcazar de Segovia, which was said to be the inspiration behind Disneyland's castles. You can see it in the video and you can tell why.  The true feast to the eyes was the Segovia Cathedral. In the video, we had a lengthy portion that sho...
