Taal Lake volcano island

Tagatay - Albert managed to arrange a boat and trip to the volcano island and after lunch, we followed behind the agent on his bike.   It was about 30 minutes swerving down a dangerous 2-way road to the lake side.

that's our boat
background is the volcano island

 We now just across the lake to the volcano island....




Albert and me

Lesley and his samurai umbrella
It was a 30 minutes boat ride across the lake to the volcano island and was exhilarating with wind blowing through the hair and the weather perfect.

Lesley and his horse
The walk up to the peak (311 metres above sea level) would have taken us 45mins to 1 hr under the scorching sun but a bumpy horse ride under 25 mins.

me and Lela (horse name)
beautiful view from the peak
This is a Lake form from the caldera of an active volcano on volcano island within Lake Taal.  Amazing!  This is a Lake within a Volcano within a Lake on an island.

another magnificant view
Lesley and I on the Peak
driving back to Makati, I came across a school tutu...school children going back home from  school.


It was good trip..
