April 3

From my brother's house, we arrived at the resort at around 1:30pm for our 2 o'clock check in time.  We stayed in the Suite Room at the first floor of the Gumamela Rooms.  It has 1 king and 3 double bed, toilet, bathroom, closet, tv, ref, air conditioned and veranda.  No amenities.

• The room is spacious and clean
• Separate toilet and bathroom

The kids are excited so we accompany them to the playground, beach and pool while I take some picture.  This resort is perfect for excursions with kids because of playground equipment are everywhere.  But the cleanliness of the beach and pools is fair, with pieces of garbage here and there.

• The beach has dark sand but fine enough for bare foot walk.
• Clear water.
• Lots of jelly fish.
• Pools are dirty both kids and adult, looks like the same water for the whole summer.

How about some halo-halo for refreshment after a playful afternoon in the resort.

After a refreshing merienda, we prepared the food for our boodle fight dinner.  Classic grilled food are in the menu such as pork belly, squid, catfish, eggplant, sauted prawns, fried hot dog and fruits.  Cooking and eating in the veranda is prohibited but no one's accosting us so we go on.

Our dessert, pistachio sanzrival.

After the simple but fun dinner, it's bonding time.  Conversations about this and that and then called the night.  Loud snoring contest begins.




April 4

Time for a morning stroll at the beach while enjoying the sunrise.  Aila came too, only 3 of us managed to wake up early.

Went to our room for breakfast and back to the beach with the gang to swim.

We are about to check out at noon so after some beachin' we went back to our room to wash and prepare our things.

Before going back to my brother's place, we had our lunch in Candelaria at JIJF.  Check out what we had here.

JIJF Lutong Bahay ni Inay

After having lunch, we went back to Lucena to have some rest before going back to Manila.  The traffic became so bad because of the holidays, many people are travelling back to Manila that time and what used to be a 3 hour travel became 6 hours.
