27 - It's a good day to get married

Tired of the city life? Of the 8-12 hour shift to earn a living? Of the buzz and the noise that drains the hell out of you? Sigh. If moving in a countryside and leaving everything behind is plain easy... If turning your back from all the duties and responsibilities of adulthood is like learning 1-2-3... But we both know the answer to that. And sometimes, all we need is a break from the lethal routine of our daily lives to keep us sane.

It is 5 in the morning.

The sun's getting up.

The traffic's building slowly.

Tagaytay is 2-3hours away from Rizal.

SLEX toll fee is at P175 exiting Sta. Rosa.

The sun says hello.

The sky - crystal clear.

It is a good day to get married.

Only, the cousins featured in this story are no brides.

We had our breakfast at the newly opened McDonald's in Tagaytay. There was so much buzz in social media about it that we had to see it for ourselves. And voila, the vertical garden, the view, and the hash brown.

 *and no photo of the hash brown. You figure out why.

After breakfast, we hit the road to Nasugbu which is 30-45mins away from Tagaytay City proper. Caleruega it is! Right after the arc that says welcome to Nasugbu, you make a left turn to get to the chapel. It was a rocky road, but one we'll surely take on again any other day. The place was breathtakingly beautiful one would say "It's a good place to get married at!".

And they sell yummy espasol too. :D

Since we're such nature-loving people, off we go to the beach! It would take you another 30-45mins travel time to get to the nearest beach resort from Caleruega. But you're already in Batangas so why not make the most out of it? Time check: it was 1 in the afternoon. We haven't had our lunch yet and stumbled on this on our way to look for a beach resort:

Kainan sa Dalampasigan

We loved everything about Kainan sa Dalampasigan! We would definitely come back! Plus, it's probably a good place to have your wedding reception:

The clock is ticking.

The sun is setting.

It's 5 in the PM.

But before we go back to the noise and buzz of the city life, we go back to Tagaytay to grab a cup of coffee and probably one of the best things ever made --- dessert!

And so we head home.
