Tanauan batangas backpacker itinerary

We all know that batangas has everything to offer when it comes to fine tourist destination, wild adventure and relaxing sceneries.

Herewith I have listed my itinerary to help backpackers conquer the beauty of taal lake batangas!

From Manila to Alabang
I would say that my journey from manila to alabang was not quite likeable. I ride PNR train which cost me 15 pesos from pandacan station directly to alabang station.
(Not to mention, I was squeezed to the corner of the couch)

Alright here it is:
From Alabang Bus Station
Bus Station: 12:30pm
Got the front seat of the bus (Tanauan).
Ticket from alabang to tanauan market cost me Php 66.00

Tanauan market: 2pm
Alright, im lucky to get the front seat of the jeepney again (route: to Gonzales) my fare is php 25.00 directly at the resort.

Resort: 2:30pm
Montecillo De leonardo taal front view Resort is a cozy resort right at the view point area around taal lake. They also offers activities like karaoke, banana boating and island hopping (complete details below)

An overnight stay for me is not enough but since i have office by monday, I have to go back to manila on the second day. Well, i was able to enjoy my vacation even just for a night though.

Let's go back to Manila (with sidetrips)

Before going back to manila i've decided to go to tambo lipa for a bowl batangas' special lomi. For Php 55.00 you can have a bowl for 2 already.

Just a jeepney away, (php 8.00) I visited Fernando Air Base Camp. though there's nothing much to look forward but still you'll find the difference between to villamor

Alright, another jeepney (Php 8.00) going to SM Lipa where busses to manila are located. Php 99.00 via bus going to buendia.
...and there you have it!
