July 2, 2016. Saturday , when we drove all the way from Bulacan to Quezon Province to visit one of the most go-to places in the area -- Villa Escudero Plantation and Resort . Villa Escudero promises a feel of the Philippine culture, offers many activities and attractions. We got there quite easily. Having passed through the similar route when we went to Cagbalete Island few years ago (see post here ), this place is familiar to us. On board our private vehicle, we drove via SLEX, exited at Sto. Tomas and continued onto South until we reached Tiaong, Quezon. We left the house in Bulacan at 4:30 AM, had a quick stop in a gas station along SLEX for around 30 minutes and arrived in Villa Escudero Mc Donald's at 8:30 AM. We decided to eat our breakfast before heading towards Hacienda Escudero's main gate, which is only 250 meters away from McDonald's.

Here is our budget per pax and breakdown of expenses for the tour.

It was my first time camping. Sleeping in a tent on hard soil with my bag serving as my pillow, it wasn't really comfortable at all. But it was okay, just the thought of me being close to nature is so wonderful. I remember that night while we were by the bonfire, infront of us was the calm sea water and then I laid down the sand, stared at the starts, the view are just so magnificent!!

I was thinking of a weekend getaway when the name Borawan caught my attention after reading some blogs. The name Borawan is derived from Boracay, because as they say, the sand is comparable to Boracay's white sand and Palawan's s rock formation. I just recently been to Boracay and fell in love with the beach, and this year, I am aiming to complete my Palawan Series, so just the thought of Borawan thrilled me!!
