Family Day Out: Fish, Nuvali and Tagaytay, Cymplified!

by

Thank God for Rix who went with the flow of my whim to visit Nuvali, Laguna. I have long wanted to visit the place. My family of five plus two helpers trooped to the South and got some sun while we fed the perpetually hungry fish. We also rode the boat for a bit of adventure. They have a trail for bikers, too. I wish I had googled the things to do in Nuvali and visited the exhibit there. I have just been reading about feeding the koi fish and mainly enjoying the outdoors with children.

Then, Rix suddenly decided to head to Tagaytay. At first we went to People’s Park where it was crowded. We just went for a walk there, down and up the side of the mountain. Did you know that they’ve got a zipline? It has been many years since I last set foot there.

Curious about the tallest ferris wheel in the country, we drove towards Sky Ranch. A long line of people was at the ticket booth for the entrance, excluding the ride tickets. The other areas of the place were still under construction so I think it’s best to wait before visiting so one could fully enjoy the Sky Fun Park. The kids got to experience the carousel, where Cayla got scared when the ride started, and also the Sky Eye, which is the name of the ferris wheel.

Hot and hungry, we had our rest and lunch at Mushroomburger.

I have created an illustration and a little story for children, born from the idea of feeding the fish in Nuvali.

    I love the poem and the illustration, Cym. Galing-galing! I do agree that the flower should have been placed somewhere else. Or pwede din behind the poem, but in a lighter color. Sayang naman ang ganda ng poem! 😀

    By the way, I also love your blog’s new look. Simpler and easier to eyes = posts that are easier to look for ! 😀

    i love the poem, it always reminds us to be responsible to Mother Nature. If we can’t take good care of the environment, who will do so? and what will happen in the coming years if we continue to abuse it.

    Haven’t been to the biggest ferris wheel, perhaps one of this days will try to visit it. We also did experience feeding the koi fishes in Nuvali, they really swarms at you when you throw in the fish food.

    When we were still in Manila, I also want to visit Nuvali. I’ve heard so much beautiful things about the place. But I never had a chance to go there 🙁

    You have a talent in poetry. I love the rhymes 😉

    I never been to Nuvali, Laguna before, It seems like good place to visit and explore with my kiddies someday. Love the poem:)

    Never been there. I’d been missing a lot of pasyals and gala in the Philippines. Most of the time, I am out of the country kasi and I love reading those out of town adventures from blogs. The poem is really cute. 🙂

    That must have been a very fun day. Tagaytay is always on my mind and I would really love to go visit Nuvali again soon and check out more than just the shops. 🙂 Good poem! I hope your daughter recites it someday to remind her of the fun family day she had 🙂
