It was just an ordinary Saturday when we drove to Tagaytay. It has long been
planned but Voltaire, being a new driver did not have the guts back then. So, this is a significant achievement for him as he drove to Tagaytay.
Our original itinerary
was just Bag of Beans and Taal Vista. So, we took off around 9am and headed on to our first destination to grab our early lunch at Bag of Beans. There were a lot of tourists by that
time which was a blessing in disguise as we have to maintain the moderate speed.
It was generally a smooth sailing drive to Bag of Beans. At first, we felt like we were
lost but thanks to google that we found it a few meters away from the busy commercial area. Parking to Bag of Beans was quite tricky
though because we had to drive down and we thought of the problematic way up considering Voltaire's driving skills.
So, we parked the car and went inside the restaurant. It has changed a lot since the last time I visited the place. They had a buffet area already and a separate area for those ordering ala carte meals. It was cozier because the wooden furniture gave a homey ambiance. We ordered pasta meals and iced
tea which were very filling. We also bought some goodies from the bakery.
Vo got some raisin bread, and I bought a pack of Robusta ground coffee.

After the satisfying meal, we headed off to Taal Vista. It was indeed one of the prime hotels in the area. I couldn't say much about the place except that everything was EXCELLENT. The staff were really warm and accommodating. It has the perfect spot for viewing the beautiful
Taal Volcano. The hotel itself was imposing modern and vintage elements altogether. The buffet meal was superb, but we also ordered snacks from TWG restaurant. It was a lovely experience to set foot at Taal Vista. We even spotted an ongoing wedding
photoshoot. In the evening, they have an outdoor
movie which I highly recommend to families.
