PAK!

Europe? Soon?? :))


This place where the last part of the "Juan Luna" movie is filmed. We were able to go inside the house as a part of the guided heritage walk. 

There are two time slots for the guided tour; there's a morning and an afternoon schedule. I forgot the exact time but the info desk would inform you of everything you would need to know upon checking in anyway. 


Use the guided tour to learn more about Las Casas and just go back for picture taking later on 'cause a lot of people are doing the heritage walk with you so it's kinda crowded. Haha. 


Meron ba talaga tayong ganito dati? Kinda like the ones in San Francisco. 

Some are still in use. I don't know if there's a fee or if you just follow a schedule but I'm pretty sure it goes around the resort. 


We weren't able to enter this building that looks like a church since construction is still on going.. pero baka church nga kasi talaga. 


If Japan has Huis Ten Bosch and Korea has Petite France, we have Las Casas. This place kinda looks like Europe (tho sa pictures ko pa lang nakikita) but still very Filipino.

The houses at the background are the houses/accommodation you get if you decide to stay the night.


Instagrammable? Big YES! 


You don't have a lot of choices when dining inside Las Casas. This was one of the restaurants - I forgot the name but they serve Italian cuisine. I liked the interior - it's very classy and comfortable.


The next morning, we walked around again. 


We went here in June so the weather wasn't that nice. The waves in Bataan were huge so swimming in the ocean was prohibited. 
Also, the body of water with two big rocks is their pool. I don't know lang if it's not maintained that time o ganyan talaga itsura. HAHA!



They said that this entire maybe considered a museum but in some buildings, you can see a real museums actually which will allow you to learn more about our history. One of that is the Death March that happened in Bataan. 


I am so looking forward to the rehabilitation of the different historic sites in Manila especially Binondo and Intramuros area, can't wait to revisit the Walled City. I still frequent Binondo these days although I miss walking around 'cause we just eat and leave. 

Kung andyan pa naman 'yung totoong Escolta, edi preservation na lang diba? Kesa sa ganito na lang natin makikita. 


Tutuban and Binondo

THIS IS WHY WE NEED MORE TREES!!

Shaded na nga 'yung daan, maganda pa tignan!


Venice Feels? If only the water wasn't this murky and without the garbage floating around.


Kulang pa sa photography skills eh, ganda ganda ng place. HAHAHA. 


Parang ang sarap bumalik dito kapag sweater weather, noh? Tipong fresh pa rin kahit malayo ang lakarin. HAHAHA! 


<3

Kulang na lang 'yung bangka tas may kumakanta. Kung di man sa Venice e baka okay na 'yung sa Venetian LV. :))



'Yan 'yung hotel sa background. I think it's better to stay there than the houses. Hindi creepy. But if you're into that kind of adventure then rent a house for the night.


Cars are not allowed inside. There's a designated parking space and then from there, a jeepney would take you here to the registration area. By the way, the tamarind juice was delicious. 


Overall, I enjoyed walking around Las Casas. I think going there for a day tour is a good idea especially for people who are paranoid like me. Hirap matulog, besh!!! Pero 'yun nga, just opt for their hotel if you really want to stay the night. :)))

I've always wanted to visit Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan so when we found a time to go there, we immediately booked an overnight stay. 


Cars are not allowed inside the compound so a jeepney (from Las Casas) should take you to your "house" or "hotel room"

As for the houses, you are assigned one of the several heritage houses for your room. HAHAHA! 

This is the door for our room that night. This house is divided into two rooms and we got the one on the left side, no one was staying at the other room. 


Truth be told, we were scared. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

If you decide to stay in Las Casas, I will suggest that you just get a room from their hotel. Four of us stayed the night and this room is just so big and so old. You know, the stay transported us back to the 18th century.


Huge bathroom

TOO MUCH SPACE. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ito 'yung mga tipo ng banyo na hindi ka talaga pipikit kasi feeling pag pumikit ka, may iba ng nakatitig sa'yo pag dilat mo. HAHAHA!
 I didn't use the bath tub even if there were two of them in ours 'cause it felt like someone will drown me I stay too long. HAHAHAHA! Praning much.


The view from the house is great but if feels like a scene taken out of a horror movie especially with the rocking chair. 


Two king sized beds.

Don't get me wrong, the house was beautiful and it was preserved well. It's like having a glimpse of our colorful past but then staying inside the house was unsettling for us 'cause you know, we're not brave. HAHAHA. Nakakapraning. :))


  I know it's just us being paranoid but we just couldn't help it. HAHAHA!! I know a lot of people seek this kind of thrill but it's definitely not my style. I was able to enter one of their hotel rooms by the way and I'd take that instead of this huge house anytime. :)) 


Pero sobrang amazing nung labas. I liked walking around the entire area looking at all the ground houses. It's like not being in the Philippines nga eh, definitely a must-visit! I'll save the photos of that for another post. <3


Wasn't able to take photos of the entire buffet area so below is just a sneek peak of what you'd expect. There were a lot of food even if this stay was on a weekday. 







There were a lot of people in the dining hall that morning; around 200-300. Just that we walked there a bit late so we sat the tables farthest to the buffet area.

Gusto mo 'yung August 2017 na e nagpo-post pa ko ng akyat na ginawa ko nung November 2016? hahaha. I don't even remember when did we hiked Tarak Ridge in Mariveles, Bataan but was around November last year.

Mas gusto mo 'yung February 2018 na, nasa draft pa rin 'to at ngayon ko lang tinatapos??? HAHAHAHA. 


Starting the looooooooooooong day with a very beautiful sunrise. Kunyari may tulog kaming maayos para mag daaaaaaay hike. 



So in the end, I'm just showing you these pictures I took during our day hike at Tarak Ridge last November 2016. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Second anniversary na pala nito eh. 





This entire hike took me more than 12 hours to accomplish but was so worth it. Well, mas payat ako nung 2016 kasi puro physical activities ginagawa ko. hehehe




Aside from the Papaya River stop over, wala talaga kaming pahinga. The only rest we had was when we were trekking the summit and looking at the beautiful and untouched mossy forest neal El Saco Peak. 


One thing that sets Tarak Ridge apart from the other mountain I've climbed is that aside from it's several assault areas, are the areas where you have to use both your arms and feet to ascend and descend. 


Despite of all the hardship, the view on top was definitely worth it. 





I kind of miss climbing mountain for the different kind of high and feeling of accomplishment it gives, I don't, however, have the budget for it at the moment... not to mention that I don't think my body's still that strong to endure a whole day hike. Tagal ko ng walang akyat. Magi-isang taon na rin.
