We visited Canyon Cove in Nasugbu Batangas last November 24, 2013 with my cousin and my boyfriend back then now my fiance. From Guijo Suites Hotel in San Antonio Village Makati we rode a taxi to DLTB bus terminal in Buendia and we paid the driver P300.00 as he didn't used the taxi meter. I immediately asked him to use the taxi meter the time we sat and he started but he disagreed and said we'll pay P500.00. Hearing him irritated me cause we can get there at less than P100.00 thru taxi meter. He is just one of those opportunist taxi driver taking advantage seeing we have a foreigner with us. Not wanting to scold him, I immediately said, "Ok P300 fixed", which he agreed. Good for him huh, that's still too much. Asked where are we going and after answering him , he asked why are we taking our foreigner in a bus ride to Batangas which isn't safe cause he is a foreigner and that we should use taxi to go there. We asked how much just in case and offered us P5,000.00.In my mind was like, "Damn! That's too much!" , we can go there in less than P500. We immediately declined and told him he is too much. Oh well, we should really be smart enough to negotiate with opportunist individuals out there.
Upon reaching the bus station we boarded first our things in the bus and have my cousin see them while I and my boyfriend went to a nearby Mercury drugstore to buy him medicine. When we returned after atleast 20 minutes the bus went already and Couz transferred to the next bus with our things. We then took the trip to Batangas and fared almost P140 each. We arrived after atleast 3 hours and took a tricycle to Canyon Cove wherein we paid P100.00 though he charged us P90.00 at P30 each.
We checked in to our hotel which I booked a week earlier for P3,350 for one night good for a family (2 adults with 2 kids or 3 adults) then we slept as we're all tired in the trip.
At approximately 4 pm we took our lunch then went out for viewing and picture taking. It was really a great time for us. When evening arrived we planned to swim but then Kevin has no shorts for swimming so we went to Batangas market via tricycle back and forth and bought him one. We paid the tricycle a total of P200.00 for the back and forth ride. We had a hard time finding him a short as he is a lot bigger than Filipinos and the shorts don't fit him. We returned then swam together then at the swimming pool while my cousin just slept as she was tired and said we'll go out to swim alone so we can bond more without her. Tsk tsk, thoughtful Couz...
The next day we returned then to Makati.
