We’re supposed to have an outing last October 24 in Bagac, Bataan. But, this was cancelled because of typhoon Ondoy. We had already left home; but, the bad weather forced us to go back.
We had another outing in Bataan again. My sister-in-law invited us for an overnight stay in La Vista Inland Resort in Balanga, Bataan on October 30 - 31. This time, another typhoon (Santi) was impending. And, based on the latest forecast, it would hit Bataan by Saturday (October 31). And, this could foil our outing. Again!
There’s another bad news! I couldn’t take a leave on Friday (October 30). I just asked wifey to go ahead and drive the car. I’d just follow after office hours. She didn’t want to drive but chose to commute instead.
On Friday morning, I drove them to the bus station; then, I proceeded to my office. And, after concluding my business, I left at about 10:00 PM. It’s already windy and raining in Metro Manila and all the way to Balanga. I arrived at the resort by 2:00 PM. I just decided to sleep in the car.
I woke up at about 6:00 AM. The weather was already worsening. I went to the cottages, and saw wifey and sis-in-law already awake.
I surveyed the resort first and was very much impressed with it. It’s a nature resort, all right. It has plenty of trees and plants, with the adjoining mango orchard. And, it’s lying beside the Talisay River. There are several cottages overlooking the river. The cross at the Mount Samat is very visible. It has several swimming pools including a wave pool.
Then, we felt the fury of typhoon. The wind got stronger but not the rains. The trees and plants were swaying and some uprooted or broke their branches.
After a few hours, the weather calmed. Thanks heaven! And, the fun and enjoyment continued. Please click here for wifey’s blogpost and photos. Please click here for my biking experience in the resort.
We left for Manila late in the afternoon.
