This takes a substantial amount of cardiovascular endurance, which means you should be doing high-intensity interval training (HIIT), running, swimming, or cycling to help build up your endurance and become more resistant to fatigue.</span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Upper Body Plyometric Exercises</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Upper body plyometric exercises are essential for explosive power and movement during a tennis match.

Mobility training improves the range of motion of your joints, which allows you to move more freely and quickly switch positions with ease. A greater range of motion also generates more power behind your movements to improve your forehand and your overall performance. Better mobility also helps stabilize your body to improve your balance so you can transfer power from your core and lower body to your upper body more effectively. Additionally, mobility training can improve your coordination to help you time your shots better for enhanced accuracy.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Upper body fitness is crucial for tennis players to improve their athletic prowess and dominate their matches.

margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Cryptocurrency trading attracts many people, as this area is perhaps one of the most profitable on the market. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">Crypto trading</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"> has a considerable advantage over traditional investing: the fact is that a trader can make a profit regardless of the market trend, while an investor can count on income only if the market grows. For example, on the </span><a href="https://whitebit.com/trade/CHZ-USDT" rel="noopener" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify; text-decoration-line: none; text-indent: 36pt;" target="_blank"><span>CHZ to USDT</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"> trading pair, you can either short or buy long and earn constantly.</span></div><a name='more'></a><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Another indisputable advantage of trading is the virtual absence of a ceiling in earnings. There are real stories of people who have made millions of dollars in a very short period with the help of </span><span>cryptocurrency trading</span><span>. But like everything else in the world, this financial instrument has the other side of the coin, namely, complexity and increased risks. In this article, we will try to figure out whether it is possible to earn income from crypto trading in 2023 and what it takes.</span></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt; text-align: center;"><span>How to Buy and Sell Cryptocurrency for Profit</span><span>?</span></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the first steps a trader must take is to choose the exchange for work. To plunge headlong into the trading of digital assets and not think about the reliability of the site, you must initially conduct research, namely:</span></p>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;">
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">the reputation of the exchange and its team;</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">read reviews on third-party resources;</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">study the working conditions (fees, number of trading pairs, etc.);</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">explore the financial instruments of the platform (futures, margin trading, P2P, etc.).</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt; text-align: center;"><span>How to Buy Crypto</span><span> Safely?</span></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the most popular and worthy platforms is the largest European exchange WhiteBIT. It supports the most reliable and popular cryptocurrencies. The platform complies with all European Union regulations, has a high level of security, and has all the financial instruments necessary for successful trading.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span><br /></span></p>

It is a well-known festival that is exceptionally vibrant. The title is derived from the words "mass," which means crowd, and "cara," which means face, and implies "many faces." Bacolod City acquired the title "The City of Smiles" as a result of the performers' wearing colorful and cheery masks.</span></span></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingmorion/52333020139/in/dateposted/" title="Masskara Festival 2022"><img alt="Masskara Festival 2022" height="640" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52333020139_86907e9928_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">History</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the 1980s, Bacolod became well-known for its sugar production, even exporting it to other countries like the United States. However, due to the availability of less expensive alternatives like corn syrup, commonly known as fructose, worldwide merchants ceased importing. Due to the fact that growing and manufacturing sugar cane was the sole source of income for the locals at the time, this led to a financial crisis. Famine resulted from the financial crisis and economic distress.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">During the same period as the financial crisis and the economic downturn, a second tragic incident happened. The MV Don Juan, popularly known as a floating island of luxury, collided with the MT Tacloban oil tanker on April 22, 1980, as it was returning to Bacolod City from Manila. The Don Juan was entirely engulfed by the sea in less than 20 minutes. 176 individuals died in this disaster, and a number of people are still missing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The MassKara Festival was created by the Negrenses, a cultural group from Negros Occidental, to portray Bacolod as the City of Smiles in spite of hardship.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>2022 Schedule of Activities and Highlights</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The event resumes after a two-year hiatus imposed on by the pandemic. The festival lasts the entire month of October, with one of the biggest parades in town on October 23rd, 2022, serving as its climax. Be aware that some events may be altered at any time without notice.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">MassKara Queen Pageant, Mr. Bacolod bodybuilding and fitness competition, hip-hop dance challenge, drag festival, BMX riding contest, DJ battle, auto convention, and chess and sports tournaments are a few of the preliminary events for the festival.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: inherit;">First Mayor Albee Benitez Football Cup - October 1 & 2, 2022.</span></li><li>BMX Contest for Riders and Enthusiasts at the Bacolod Bay Center - October 7, 2022.</li><li>MassKara Hip Hop Dance Challenge at Bacolod Government Center - October 7 to 8, 2022.</li><li>First Mayor Albee Benitez MassKara Cup Drag Fest - October 7 to 9, 2022.</li><li>Mr. Bacolod 2022 at the Central Halls 1 & 2 Ayala Malls Capitol Central - October 11, 2022.</li><li>MassKara Auto Convention” at SMX Bacolod - October 14, 2022.</li><li>Bacolod KPop Night - October 15, 2022.</li><li>First Mayor Albee Benitez MassKara Circuit Race and Motor Show at the Upper East Megaworld - October 15 to 16, 2022.</li></ul></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Reminders/Tips (+covid 19 protocols etc)</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To make sure that your vacation runs smoothly, always remember to plan ahead, reserve your hotel, organize your itinerary, and pack your luggage. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you plan to use the public transportation system, be sure to bring <i>"barya,"</i> or spare change, and keep in mind to wear loose-fitting clothing and comfortable shoes. The Philippines is known for its hot, sunny weather, so dress in light, breathable clothing. However, you should also pack an umbrella and keep an eye on the weather in Bacolod.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If an event is scheduled to start at a specific time, arrive early to ensure you have the best possible view and experience. Always keep in mind to pack an extra face mask, alcohol, and your vaccination card because certain shops and restaurants require you to show your vaccination card before you are allowed inside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Where to Eat and Other Interesting Activities </b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Without enjoying the local chicken<i> inasal</i>, your journey to Bacolod would be incomplete. This delectable delicacy was offered everywhere from small food stands to fine dining establishments all offered this delectable delicacy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bacolod is famous for its festival, but it also has other attractions, including <a href="https://www.travelingmorion.com/2017/05/negros-occidental-tragedy-and-love.html" target="_blank">the ruins of Mario Lacson's mansion</a>, the Campuestohan Highland Resort, the heritage homes in Silay City, old churches, and more.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>How to Get There</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can fly to Bacolod on the airline of your choice, such as Philippine Airlines or Cebu Pacific Air. It would be better to choose Philippine Airlines if you are currently staying in Manila, Clark, or Cebu. However, if you are currently staying in Manila or Davao, choose Cebu Pacific Airlines. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can take a van or a shuttle from the Bacolod-Silay Airport to the city center of Bacolod. From there, you may easily get to your hotel from the taxi station near the shuttle service's stop in SM City Bacolod. The fare typically costs 150 pesos.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The second option is a taxi service, which is more expensive but unquestionably more convenient because it allows you to get to your hotel straight away. However, the fee may reach 500 pesos. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can also take a tricycle or a<i> jeepney,</i> but this is only advised if you've already checked into your hotel and want to explore the city for the day. However, if you're traveling from the airport, this could be a nuisance because <i>jeepneys </i>and tricycles are frequently crowded, either because of limited room or a truckload of passengers.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-left: 0px;

The NCAA Tournament is always a huge deal for sports fans, and the Final Four location plays a big role.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Since this year’s tournament is set to take place in New Orleans, now would be a great time to take a closer look at the city. New Orleans is considered a top travel destination in the United States, but you might not know why.<span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a city that is loaded with terrific tourist attractions, but we have chosen some of the best travel destinations for you. If you are planning to escape to New Orleans at any point in time then here are some locations that you need to visit. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">French Quarter</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Without a doubt, the biggest tourist attraction in the city of New Orleans is the French Quarter. Most people come to take a look at the architecture in the French Quarter, but this is also a portion of the city that is loaded with great entertainment and dining options.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bourbon Street is the most famous street in the French Quarter, but it can become extremely crowded and hard to navigate during peak tourist times. You can spend a couple of days on the French Quarter and never run out of things to do, but you will have to be comfortable being around other people. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mardi Gras takes place in the French Quarter, and that is one of the biggest events in the United States. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">WWII Museum</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are someone that enjoys history then you will have to make a stop at the WWII Museum on Magazine Street. This is the National WWII Museum and there are plenty of exhibits that touch on the battles that took place in both Europe and the Pacific. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a very interactive museum and there is much more to do than simply look at the exhibits on your own. There are also entertainment and dinners held at the National WWII Museum and it’s worth the trip, even if you aren’t someone that enjoys learning about wars. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">St. Louis Cathedral</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jackson Square is another popular part of New Orleans, and there is plenty to do in that location. One of the highlights of a visit to Jackson Square includes a stop at the St. Louis Cathedral.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The St. Louis Cathedral was built all the way back in 1794 and it is still in use to this day. This is a massive structure and should be on your list of sights to see, even if you don’t plan on visiting the cathedral to worship. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">City Park</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Depending on the weather, City Park is a popular travel destination in New Orleans, and there is no shortage of things to do at this location. City Park is home to both the New Orleans Botanical Garden and the New Orleans Museum of Art. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Golfing and tennis are also available at City Park, and this is a 1,300 acre plot of land that provides plenty of space to move around. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Audubon Zoo</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Audobon Park is another popular tourist attraction in New Orleans and the Audobon Zoo is the highlight of this part of town. The best way to get around the zoo is by taking the “Swamp Train,” and tickets are available everyday that the zoo is open.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After visiting the zoo, there are still plenty of other opportunities in the park, including several small lakes and a golf course. This is obviously a great destination for families, but anyone will enjoy the options at Audobon. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Louisiana Children’s Museum</span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The final destination on this list is geared especially for families and it is the Louisiana Children’s Museum. New Orleans isn’t typically a good tourist destination for kids or families with young kids, but the Louisiana Children’s Museum is a great place to visit.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This museum is open seven days a week in the summer, and it’s a great place to go to escape the heat. The Warehouse District is where the Louisiana Children’s Museum is located and that’s a much slower part of town.</span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-left: 0px;

Games are scattered all throughout the country, and this adds to the excitement of the event. </p><p>For those that simply love to travel, the NCAA Tournament provides some great opportunities as well. The NCAA chooses some of the top cities in the country each year to host games, and some top travel destinations are included. <span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Of course the action on the basketball floor will be the biggest draw, but each city will also have plenty of other things to do as well. With that in mind, here are some of the best travel destinations for cities hosting games in the 2022 NCAA Tournament. </p><p><b>Indy Has Experience</b></p><p>The NCAA tries to give many different locations the opportunity to host March Madness games, but there are some locations that always seem to get chosen. Indianapolis is one of those cities, and that’s because the city does a great job of hosting major events. </p><p>Indianapolis might not have the ideal weather or many major attractions, but there is one advantage of hosting the NCAA Tournament in this city. Everything is close together in Indy, and that makes it a terrific location for hosting these events. </p><p>The Indianapolis Zoo is a major attraction in this city, but you will love how easy it is to get around in this city. </p><p><b>Sunny San Diego</b></p><p>If you are looking for an escape from the cold then San Diego should be on the top of your list for travel destinations. San Diego will be hosting games during the first two rounds, which means that the games will be taking place in mid-March. </p><p>If you want something to do besides watching basketball then the San Diego Zoo needs to be something that you check out.

Britain has Wimbledon, France, the USA and Australia all have Opens while the Olympics and other competitions move around. Here are a few suggestions about the best countries to visit for live tennis and why.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>France</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">France is a country long known for its fantastic live tennis. With matches played on clay courts the French Open is known the world over, and France will also play host to the Summer Games in Paris in 2024. Further, France boasts some of the greatest players of all time and has a wonderful culture that enjoys watching and playing tennis. You can also take a break from the sport to soak up the ambience of one of the most beautiful cities in the world making Paris well worth a visit.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Australia</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Hosting the Australian Open each year in January, Australia is another country known for its love of tennis and live games that are certainly noteworthy. Played on a hard-court surface, the Australian Open is the largest annual sporting event in the Southern Hemisphere (and therefore a must visit) for any tennis fan if they have the opportunity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Britain</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Home to Wimbledon, what else really needs to be said about Britain? Widely considered the top tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon dates back to 1877 where it was played on grass courts as it still is today. Seeing a match at Centre Court surely tops the bucket list of any tennis fan worth their salt, and with strawberries and cream and a large glass of Pimms, Wimbledon is also known for its traditions on and off the court. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The USA</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Rounding out the four Grand Slam countries, the USA is definitely a contender for best country to visit for live tennis. Hosting not only the US Open in New York but the BNP Paribas Open in California, the US is again a country known for showing and playing incredible tennis. With a long list of tennis Champions and many fantastic courts to choose from, the USA is a key stop on any tennis tour of the best spots.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>China</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A bit of a newcomer to the sport, at least when it comes to being thought of globally in a list like this, China is fast becoming known for its excellent tennis. Hosting the WTA Finals until 2028 we will certainly be seeing more of this country’s tennis games and watching along with millions of others as they enjoy the sport.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are many other countries that love, play and host great live tennis, and even more that enjoy playing games at every level. The Czech Republic is supposedly tennis crazy, with courts in every park and accessible to all. Germany has a huge amount of registered tennis players and of course the Olympics changes hands every four years allowing new countries to play host to some of the best live tennis in the world. With so many great options out there, why choose? Whether you are partial to the occasional <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/tennis" target="_blank">tennis bet</a> or you’ve always dreamt of a world-tennis tour, hitting up as many of these countries as possible would be high on your list of things to do, with the Grand Slam four as the top priority for most.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-left: 0px;

There are great tourist attractions and extraordinary locations. Some of these are of precious importance for the historical, political, and cultural traditions of the entire country and world. Visit Visa Express for information about <a href="https://visaexpress.com/visa-for-russia-from-us/">visa for Russia</a><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Moscow is a large metropolis with almost 12 million citizens. The city is also always crowded with millions of foreign tourists, so it is a remarkable mix of different nations and cultures. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can find many amazing hotels, restaurants, clubs, pubs, and bars in Moscow. These usually provide an excellent and high-quality service to the clients, so the tourists can enjoy every moment in this beautiful city. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the large population, there is still a lot of free space in the city. If you want to walk and enjoy the experience, Moscow is definitely a great location for such needs. It is enough to mention Red Square, for example. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The location is surrounded by many important attractions, but it does not affect the free space of the location. Red Square can, therefore, accept large masses, and they can comfortably walk next to each other. It has been the place of many historically important gatherings in the past, so it is a location of tremendous value. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Moscow is an important city for world history, but it is also a modern metropolis with many new objects. You can, for example, easily notice there are many skyscrapers, and these are also very important for the tourist offer of the entire city. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some bars are, for example, placed on top floors, and they provide a great view of the entire city. You can visit some of these, drink your favorite beverage, and explore this amazing city from high heights. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Great Moscow Parks</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The metropolis is also home to many great parks. You should definitely visit some of these. They are great for families with kids because they often provide a lot of content for playing and fun. The parks are usually full of large trees and excellent plants, so you can enjoy fresh air even during hot, summer days. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Museums and Galleries</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Moscow is home to many galleries and museums. Some of these are homes of precious and exceptional cultural and historical showpieces and items. The list of these places is very long. Bakhrushin Museum, Central Armed Forces Museum, Kremlin Arsenal, Memorial Museum of Astronautics, and Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow are some of the well-known ones. You are, of course, free to explore more in order to find the most appropriate museums, according to your needs and interests. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Art Quarters</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Art Quarters are one more tourist attraction. Sculptors, painters, cartoonists, and other fine artists often create communities where they live and work together. There are many such places in Moscow, and some are of a temporary character. Still, there are a few notable and old art quarters, and these are often very interesting from a tourist point of view. If you like art, or you are just curious enough, the avenues of this type might provide an excellent tourist experience. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Moscow River</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Moscow River is also an interesting tourist attraction that provides a lot to potential visitors. Cruising is, for example, one of the favorite activities at the location, and it gives you a chance to enjoy the city from a different aspect. It is usually performed during regular daily hours, and there are various boats that offer such an adventure in Moscow. Some exclusive ones might provide special types of services too, but you will typically have to pay extra for the purpose. The tourists are, however, always free to select the best offer, according to their needs. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Moscow River is also great when it comes to walking and enjoying at the bank. The areas around the water source look very nice at night too, so it is certainly a remarkable travel experience to spend some time there. Many sidewalks are very near the bank, so you can take even long tours in both directions. The city also looks great at night. You can see numerous lights for many buildings near and far from the city center, and that's also one of the tourist's preferred activities in Moscow. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-left: 0px;

text-align: justify;">Owing to its proximity to the iconic ‘’Ring of Fire’’, the Philippines remains a hotspot for tourism including volcano tourism. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes have shaken the locals for years, but that has not stopped the influx of both domestic and foreign visitors. Although volcanic explosions are terrifying, the Philippines' volcanoes are gorgeous, with incredible scenery and features. In fact, several inactive volcanoes have been transformed into tourist destinations with a wide range of activities. If you want to see these stunning volcanoes, keep reading because we will reveal to you five of the most breathtaking volcanoes in the Philippines!</div></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingmorion/51551921317/in/dateposted/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="TravelingMorion_HeroImage"><img alt="TravelingMorion_HeroImage" height="427" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51551921317_12b6c2e30c_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Mount Mayon</b></div></div><div class="separator"><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;">First on the list is the Mayon Volcano, named after a fabled fairy. The volcano is located 2,463 meters (8,081 feet) above sea level on the southern part of the main island of Luzon, in the province of Albay. It is one of the most attractive and photographed volcanoes thanks to its symmetrical and spectacular conical shape. This iconic stratovolcano, which has been nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the province's symbol and has inspired a plethora of artworks and stories. But do not be fooled by its peaceful appearance because it is also a highly active volcano.</div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;">If you think Mayon Volcano is only for viewing, you are wrong. The natural park offers a wide range of ecotourism opportunities, including an ecological trip to see the beauties of Albay. You can also go and trek along to get a closer look at the volcano. Additionally, the adrenaline-pumping ATV ride from Cagsawa Ruins to Mayon's shoulder is a great and thrilling way to see to discover the hillsides, ruins, rice fields, rivers, and mud roads strewn with hundreds of volcanic pebbles. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Taal Volcano</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Taal Volcano is the country's second most active volcano. Located near Talisay, Batangas, this volcano is one of the world's smallest, standing at 311 meters (1,020 feet) tall and features 47 overlapping cones and craters in total. The volcanic island in the center of the broader Taal Lake was the site of several of its past eruptions with the most recent eruption occurred in January of last year. By then, many neighboring provinces and cities other than Batangas were affected by the ashfall including Rizal and Metro Manila. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nevertheless, there are plenty of exciting things to do nowadays. One of the activities available is crossing around the island by boat. Aside from that, you can go on a hike up to the crater, which takes at least 40 minutes. Before reaching the summit, you will pass by volcanic steam vents that generate a sulphurous odor, which may be unfamiliar to some. Finally, take a horseback ride up the crater, which will take around 20 minutes. As soon as you arrived, you could see the boulders erupting in steam.</div></div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingmorion/51552952013/in/photostream/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="TravelingMorion_BodyImage2"><img alt="TravelingMorion_BodyImage2" height="427" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51552952013_1a463d6511_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator"><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><b>Mount Makiling</b></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;">Mount Makiling, another magnificent volcano in the Philippines, is rich in legend and treasured by many. Located in Los Baños, one of the <a href="https://www.travelingmorion.com/2014/11/laguna-things-to-do-in-liliw.html">many municipalities in Laguna</a>, Mount Makiling is famous for its shape, which resembles a woman lying on her back. The pre-colonial Filipinos also believed Maria Makiling, an "anito," guarded and protected the mountain. Despite all the tales surrounding it, the volcano has no known record of its previous eruption. As a result, it is considered a dormant volcano. Mount Makiling is only 1,090 meters (3,580 feet) above sea level, and it can be climbed in a single day. </div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;">But do not overlook the volcano’s trails; they will make your hike tough. Expect to encounter untamed rainforests, uneven terrain, and incredible species you have never seen before along the journey. There is the Makiling Botanic Gardens as well that offers visitors the opportunity to see a variety of native and exotic plants. The good thing is that the garden is accessible by any mode of transportation. If you ride a motorbike, remember to wear a proper helmet for your own safety. Luckily, finding a nice helmet in the Philippines are a breeze with numerous brands to choose from like Airoh, Shark, <a href="https://iprice.sg/agv/motorcycle-accessories/helmets/">or AGV</a>.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator"><b>Mount Pinatubo</b></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator"><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;">Mount Pinatubo, Zambales, is well-known among locals for its 1991 eruptions, which destroyed thousands of homes and caused billions of dollars in crop damage. Fortunately, it has since grown into a popular tourist site, drawing thousands of people each year. Mount Pinatubo is a remarkable sight, with its gray-brown crater and blue-green lake. Mount Pinatubo is a remarkable sight, with its gray-brown crater and blue-green lake. Standing at 1,486 meters (4,875 feet) above sea level, the mountain now rests calmly in the distance. Despite its past, it is one of the Philippines' most visited volcanoes and visitors can rest assured that everything is in order because all trips are closely monitored. </div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;">The only way to get closer to the mountain is to take an hour-long ride in a 4x4 jeepney. It takes a long time, but it is very enjoyable. Due to the presence of harmful substances in the lake, all sorts of water activities are not recommended. But still, there is much more to explore around Mount Pinatubo. You may unwind with a volcanic ash massage at the Pinatubo Spa or ride your motorcycle, complete with a <a href="https://iprice.ph/zebra/motorcycle-accessories/helmets/">full-face helmet from Zebra</a> or Bell to the Capas Shrine and Tarlac Museum for a taste of culture and history.</div><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingmorion/51553633255/in/photostream/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="TravelingMorion_BodyImage1"><img alt="TravelingMorion_BodyImage1" height="427" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51553633255_5532af6f47_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator"><div class="separator"><b>Mount Apo</b></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;">The final volcano you should visit in the Philippines is the beautiful Mount Apo in the island of Mindanao. Commonly known as the ‘’Grandfather of all Philippine Mountains’’, it is the highest mountain in the Philippine archipelago, standing at 2,954 meters (9,692 feet). Mount Apo has drawn innumerable outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world for years. It is a popular trekking destination, but the climb is not easy. You will need a good hiking guide to navigate all the challenging trails. </div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: justify;">The hike up Mount Apo and down takes three to four days, so planning is essential. You should also be aware of the limits and regulations in place because Mount Apo is a protected landmark in the country. If you do not want to hike, you can visit Mount Apo National Park, which is home to the endangered Philippine eagle and features Malasita Falls, Sibulao Lake, and the Kisinte Hot Springs. Never miss a chance to visit this peaceful yet active volcano because learning about its intriguing history will provide you with lifelong memories.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-left: 0px;

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In Marinduque, locals and tourists celebrate Holy Week with a little more life and color, through the Moriones festival. During this Easter week, the streets are filled with <i>"Morions"</i> or men and women dressed in Moriones costumes, complete with props of masks and shields. Throughout the festival, the <i>Morions</i> not only parade their bizarre outfits and eye-catching centurion masks, but they also engage with the crowd through a dance routine, sword fights, and even pranks and surprises.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But apart from the fun, the <i>Morions</i> also observe this week to atone for their sins. They do this by reenacting the suffering of Christ as a way to show their gratitude and devotion to the Lord. Some men do this by carrying the wooden heavy cross, whipping their own backs, and allowing themselves to be crucified. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>History of Moriones Festival </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The festival traces back to 1807 when a Mogpog priest named Padre Dionisio Santiago organized a play that was inspired by Longinus’ proclamation of Christianity. Longinus was a Roman soldier who had struck Jesus at his side during his crucifixion. Upon doing so, Jesus' blood splattered on Longinus' blind eye, causing it to heal almost immediately. This miracle paved the way for the conversion of his faith; but his proclamation of belief also led to his death. To this day, the moriones continue to recall the event along with other towns of Marinduque who celebrate the festival through their tradition. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>TRAVEL NOTES</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Marinduque Province is composed of six (6) towns namely Mogpog, Sta. Cruz, Torrijos, Buenavista, Gasan, and Boac (the capital town). Take note that each town celebrates Moriones Festival; meaning festival can be watched in every town of the province. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Given its schedule coinciding with the Holy Week, it is expected that there will be an influx of tourists traveling so it is advisable to book tickets and hotel accommodation earlier to avoid any unforeseen circumstances. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Avoid traveling during Holy Monday and Easter Sunday because huge crowds are scheduled on this day as well. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Bring enough cash- automated teller machines (ATM), located mostly in the town proper, are usually out of cash due to bulk cash transactions and long holiday. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Keep your phone charged; you want to remember the wonderful stay! </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Don't forget to bring your camera. Moriones Festival is one of the most colorful religious festivals in the Philippines! </li>
</ul>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a number of Hotels in the province but if you want to be near the center of the celebration during the Festival it is advisable to stay in Boac or Sta. Cruz and other neighboring towns. There are also a lot of island resorts and hotels in the province if you’re looking for the ultimate Holy Week vacation </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>HOW TO GET THERE </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">FROM METRO MANILA<i> </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Via Plane</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can book any of the three scheduled flights- Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday- per week through Cebu Pacific Air. From Manila, you just have to go to Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 4 (Domestic). From there, you will arrive in the town of Gasan at around 40 minutes. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Via Bus and Ferry </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From Metro Manila, take a bus going to Talao-talao Port (Dalahican) in Lucena City. RORO vessels that you will find there are Starhorse Shipping Lines and Montenegro Shipping Lines. As of this writing, there are 2 ports of entry in the province (all are coming from Talao-talao Port) – the Balanacan Port in Mogpog (more or less 45 minutes from Boac, capital town) and the Buyabod Port in Santa Cruz (more or less one and half hours from Boac). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>Option 1: From Metro Manila, ride a bus bound to Grand Central Terminal of Lucena City (Quezon) where passenger jeepneys and tricycles bound to Talao-Talao Port (in Dalahican) are available. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Option 2: To avoid the hassle of transferring from one transport to another, better to find buses with direct route to Talao-talao (Dalahican) Port. Travel time from Metro Manila to Talao-talao Port is approximately 3-4 hours depending on traffic in Laguna and Quezon. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Option 3: You can also ride a direct bus trip bound to Marinduque. JAC Liner has regular direct RORO Bus trip to Marinduque (via Balanacan Port in Mogpog) departing at 4:00PM (3:00PM boarding time) in Cubao, Quezon City terminal. </li>
</ul>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-e82378e1-7fff-8b9b-bf80-b425f83743b2"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Traveling anywhere can be exciting. While it’s nice to be excited about going somewhere new, this enthusiasm can sometimes blind you to some of the things to prepare before you begin your adventure. Even after lots of planning, some things still slip our minds.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingmorion/49059678378/in/dateposted/" title="G1"><img alt="G1" height="479" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49059678378_b21b165a70_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Here are five things that people forget to prepare for when they are planning their trips.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Car parking</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Because of their rush to reach the airport on time for their flights, people often forget that they need to find a safe place to leave their car during the duration of their trip. While someone may be driving them there, sometimes that is not the case. This is why looking for a safe parking lot for your vehicle is very important when preparing for a trip. Especially if you’re traveling from a well-known airport, like Newark, you’ll easily find the Newark Liberty Airport parking that is close by. If you are traveling from a lesser-known airport in a remote place, on the other hand, you may need to do some more research beforehand to find a safe spot for your car.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Chargers and cables</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As you’ll be charging your cell phone and laptop until you head out, you might end up forgetting the chargers and cables even if you had planned otherwise. To ensure that you do not forget such items, make sure that they are right next to the door and try to have your phone’s background set as a screenshot for these last-minute items so that you are constantly reminded to take them. If you forget your chargers, you will either have to go back and get them or buy new ones, which could get pretty pricey depending on which charger you forgot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingmorion/49059678563/in/photostream/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="G3"><img alt="G3" height="479" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49059678563_991f0be0e2_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Rainy weather outfits</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nowadays, we can find out the weather forecast for any place in a moment. While it is usually correct, sometimes the weather gets out of control and you end up with rain in a place where the weather should have been nothing but sunny and warm. Remember that being caught in the rain without enough protection is worse than carrying a few extra pieces of clothing, just to be safe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Dental care</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just like chargers, toothpaste and toothbrushes are often forgotten in the rush of last-minute preparations, because you will need to use them before you head to the airport. Unlike chargers, though, it is way less expensive to replace your toothpaste and toothbrush when you reach your destination.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Extra luggage</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When traveling, you need to make sure that </span>your luggage<span style="font-family: inherit;"> doesn’t go over the maximum weight limit. This can be hard if you don’t have room for all the souvenirs and gifts you will be getting from your friends and family on your trip. Having an extra bag will ensure that you have enough room for everything while also costing less than having a bag that’s too heavy and is over the weight limit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/travelingmorion/49059678523/in/photostream/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="G2"><img alt="G2" height="426" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49059678523_4318bfa9a4_o.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is a reason why many people believe in creating different packing checklists before they go on any kind of trip. Now that you know about these commonly forgotten details, you can work toward bucking the trend, and actually remember them when preparing for your next journey. In any case, try to stay calm and organized, and careful planning will soon become second nature to you. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Baguio has a wide array of destinations and experiences to enjoy these days. There are parks and views to behold, sweets and treats to try, and a whole exciting adventure for you. And of course, every vacation is not complete without all of your family members to keep you company. After all, it's true what they say; the more the merrier!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A colorful experience awaits you in this giant artwork famously called as the Valley of Colors, a view made from houses that are situated on Benguet's hillside. The artwork of this place can be viewed from the hanging bridge, which connects to the bright houses. Or, it can also be marveled through the waiting shed, which is also a dropping point for most tourists. <i>“StoBoSa” </i>stands for “<i>Stonehill, Botiwtiw,</i> and <i>Sadjap”</i>, the three <i>sitios</i> in Barangay Balili that make up this beautiful valley of colors. This sight to behold is, more or less, 20-minute ride from Baguio City center.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">La Trinidad's climate is perfect for producing the
freshest fruits and vegetables of the season. The strawberry capital provides
the juiciest strawberries that you can pick out yourself. The farmers also grow
various vegetables such as <i>pechay</i> and broccoli. It is truly a memorable experience to pick the fresh crops on your own and have the pleasure of tasting
them as you do. La Trinidad is more or less 40-minute ride from Baguio City.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Are you looking for your next big destination? Well, look no further because Jakarta has a great adventure in store for you. Jakarta is the largest city in Indonesia with a population of around 10 million. For a long time, most people haven't witnessed the hidden gems in this country because it's not a popular destination. However, one thing you should know about this place is despite the continuous development of the urban city, Jakarta is still deeply connected to its traditional roots. With its rich culture, colorful history, friendly natives, and diverse ethnicities, Jakarta has truly become a spot worth exploration.</span></div>

<b style="font-family: inherit;">Hello, Jakarta City!</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It was a usual late morning Saturday of September, and the rush of adventure hits me as I wake up. This month is a perfect time to be visiting Jakarta because June until September is the dry season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With a Google map on hand, we head to the first place on our itinerary- central Jakarta. From our house in Alam Sutera, Tangerang City the trip via Grab Car took us around 45 minutes. From there, we hopped around different destination spots nearby. Here are the places we saw and the activities we did:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Mosque Istiqlal </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our driver dropped us at the entrance of Mosque Istiqlal, Jakarta and Southeast Asia’s largest mosque. The word istiqlal means "Independence" in Arabic. That is why this building is a symbol of Indonesia's independence from Dutch. The enormous mosque was indeed breathtaking! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At 10 am on a Sunday, the whole place was packed with different nationalities coming in and out. Upon entering, we were asked to register as visitors before leaving our shoes and taking our robes. When we entered the prayer hall, the structure of the place was the first thing that mesmerized us. The prayer hall was a grand dome supported by twelve steel-covered columns. Every corner of the mosque is a beautiful sight of solemn prayer, that's why it made us feel very calm and at peace.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unfortunately, the mosque was under renovation during our visit – some parts on the 3rd and 4th floors are closed. Luckily, we were still allowed by the kind mosque personnel to enter on the 3rd floor to take some photos. Of course, we made sure we did not disrupt the solemnity of the place- we did not use flash photography nor made any unnecessary noise.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Going to any place wouldn’t be complete without talking about food – I mean street foods! In front of Mosque Istiqlal are different food stalls and souvenir shops, which I luckily took some shots of. Yep, the blend of sweet smells, attractive trinkets, and chaotic sound blends create a beautiful experience you can only have in the streets!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just in front of Southeast Asia's largest mosque is a beautiful neo-Gothic Roman Catholic Church named Saint Mary of the Assumption Cathedral. It's a surreal feeling to see these two beautiful structures neighboring each other. It displays an extraordinary symbol of unity, respect, and reality.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This cathedral is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Jakarta, Gereja Santa. It was consecrated in 1901 as a Roman Catholic cathedral. Upon entering, you will find a statue of Our Lady Mary. On top of it is a sentence that says, <i>"Beatam Me Dicentes Omnes Generationes" </i>which is Latin for "All generations shall call me blessed."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After a short photo walk in front of the cathedral, we mean to be on our way to MONAS, the freedom monument. However, an interesting monument meters away caught our attention. Turns out, this was the West Irian Liberation Monument, which is located in the center of Lapangan Banteng (formerly the Waterloo Square). </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The monument itself stands 36 meters tall. What will surely catch your attention is the bronze statue on top of it. The figure shows a bare-chested man who is spreading his arms and legs free from the shackles. On his face, you can see him screaming and full of rage. This statue symbolizes the independence and rebellion of the country.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>MONAS in Merdeka Square</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We continue to walk from the west Irian Monument going to MONAS (National Monument of Indonesia). More or less a kilometer away from the Mosque Istiqlal and the Cathedral is this significant structure in the heart of Jakarta. Monas is truly one to catch your eye as it stands 433 feet in the middle of Merdeka Square.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the interesting things about this monument is the structure's cup and tower design. These objects are meant to represent two Hindi symbols called <i>lingga</i> and <i>yoni</i>. These elements are representative of male and female energies combined in harmony and balance. They also symbolize fertility and eternal life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I eagerly took some landscape shots of this iconic structure but decided not to go up on the viewing deck. It was already past noon, and the scorching heat beat down on the long line of people waiting to get on the deck. I decided to carry on with the rest of the trip instead!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Old Batavia</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From Monas, we ride in a Grab Car going to Kota Tua or also called as Old Town Batavia. Due to the moderate traffic that we encountered, the ride took us around 15 minutes. It was fascinating to see preserved structures wherein the influence of Dutch is still strongly mirrored. The Old Town Batavia is truly a traveler highlight, especially with the historical landmarks that will surely take you to another world. But before exploring other hot spots in the town, we decided to grab some lunch in Café Batavia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Café Batavia is a restaurant that carries so much history and culture within its walls. It was 1805 when the building broke ground. It was first an art gallery in 1990 before finally becoming a café in 1991. The ambiance of this place is comforting- it has colonial décor and smooth jazz to help you enjoy your dining. Its menu includes a wide range of both Asian and Western dishes that surely satisfied our hunger from walking around.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After having our fill, we went around Kota Tua, which seems to be the center for activities and travel spots. Here you can find the Fatahillah Square which features historical architecture, exotic street foods, and festivals full of art performances. There are also several museums around such as Jakarta History Museum, Wayang Museum, and the Fine Arts and Ceramics Museum. You can also find an eye-catching building that's all red- the Toko Merah. While this place is not open for the public without an appointment, it is still a landmark worthy of seeing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Last year, we had the chance to explore Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, a huge park in the southeastern part of Jakarta. It is a more or less 30 minutes ride from Mosque Istiqlal, where you will find models of all the traditional homes across the Indonesian archipelago. I will create a separate article about this interesting park – apologies for the delay!</span></div>

Well, to be honest, it is almost impossible to cover those divine beaches and stunning nature of the surrounding archipelago in just one day. After all, El Nido trip is all about visiting those remote islands and lunar all about the Filipino culture. Visitors </span>book flights to el Nido online<span style="font-family: inherit;"> and go for island hopping tours and to enjoy kayaking, diving, and snorkeling.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For those wondering how to spend a day in El Nido, well, they are just on the right page. All they need to do is create a precisely designed itinerary as the day will pass very quickly here. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">El Nido is situated on Palawan island, and the easiest way to reach this amazing destination is by air. Take advantage of </span>Jetstar online booking<span style="font-family: inherit;"> offers to reach the island with mind-blowing beauty! The best time to visit El Nido is from late November to March. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>A day in El Nido </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can book an island tour in advance, and start your day very early in the morning. There are four tours to pick from, and you can pick one based on what you want to see and explore. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you want to explore El Nido on your own, you can also rent a kayak. A great thing about kayaking is that you can look for remote islands at your own pace and can have the whole beach to yourself. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Take a motorbike trip to Nacpan beach and enjoy the vast and varied landscape. You would pass by farms and small villages and can reach the two famous beaches, Duli Beach and Nacpan Beach. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Another good idea to spend the day is to swim in the Secret Lagoon. The Lagoon may be small, but it seems like a paradise on Earth. Enjoy the serenity and the beauty of nature from here. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Secret Beach is immensely popular among locals and the tourist. You can visit the beach and relax or swim in those crystal-clear waters. Find yourself surrounded by large limestone cliffs and the beach is indeed one of the best spots to explore while in El Nido. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you are fond of diving, you can pick from one of those popular dive sites and explore the marine life. Bacuit Bay boasts of several diving sites and is home to a wide range of beautiful marine life. However, be wary of the tides and conditions. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you want to enjoy the best views of Bacuit Bay, just hike up to Taraw Peak to get a bird’s eye view of the bay. Get in touch with a local tour operator to plan the trek and spend a memorable day on El Nido. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Another good idea to include in your itinerary is to dive the underwater tunnel of Dilumacad. Commonly referred to as ‘The Tunnel,’ the 40-meter tunnel is teeming with fish and other sea life. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Before you end your day, it is a must to go to the El Nido night market, which is very different from the other Asian night markets. The markets are packed every night and sell local merchandise and are best known for their fresh food. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Enjoy dinner at Mezzanine Restaurant, where you can get super tasty food and traditional Filipino dishes. Dig into appetizing foods that taste very good and offer you the best value you can get.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have time and energy, you can fit in some more exciting activities like a visit to the shrine to the Virgin Mary or a quick hike up the rocks to enjoy some amazing views. Eat pizza at Altrove, which is another fantastic thing to do in El Nido. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Dinagyang Festival celebrates two main significances. First, its religious importance makes the event a devotion to Santo Nino, or the Holy Child Jesus. And second, it is a historical marker of the time that Malay settlers arrived in Panay islands</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>History of Dinagyang Festival</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The history of the Dinagyang Festival dates back to 1968, the year that the replica of the image of Santo Nino arrived in Iloilo City. Later in 1969, the Ati-Atihan Festival became a huge event with four tribes joining in the performances. It would soon grow into a more celebrated and elaborate celebration of numerous groups and tribes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then in 1974, the <a href="https://www.travelingmorion.com/2019/09/dinagyang-festival-2020-schedule-of-events-and-activities.html">Dinagyang Festival</a> was one to grab a spotlight on the <i>"operation balikbayan"</i> program that was sphere headed by the Ministry of Tourism. This project was done to provide a new tourist attraction in the city. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Dinagyang" was only given as a name to the festival in 1977 by an Ilonggo writer and broadcaster, Pacifico Sudario. The term meant "merrymaking", which is a great way to describe the whole festival and the city of Iloilo.</span></div>

<b style="font-family: inherit;">History of Sinulog Festival</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sinulog festival started as a dance ritual in the 1980s. In the four centuries of its existence, it serves as a representation of the current of Cebu's Pahina River, or referred to as <i>"sulog."</i> The dancers' movements resemble the wave of the waters, which is done through a step backward and two steps forward rhythm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Before the coming of the Spaniards, the Sinulog dance was already done by Filipino natives as a way to praise their idols. Later, when Magellan introduced Christianity, the dance was done to honor Santo Nino, the figure of the child Jesus. Sinulog has become a performance that exhibits the story of how the Filipinos transitioned from paganism to Christianity.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Masskara Festival is the celebration that defines Bacolod City as the City of Smiles. This month-long celebration of the happiest and most colorful festival in the country is filled with parties, concerts, food, and merry-making. Every year in October, when the fourth Sunday falls, the streets are filled with dancers that are enamored with bedazzling costumes, colorful masks, and bizarre headdresses.</span></div>

<b style="font-family: inherit;">History of Masskara Festival</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Despite the cheerful atmosphere that is fostered by this event, the Masskara Festival started during a time of tragedy for the people of Bacolod. It began in 1980 when the city's economy was facing its challenges due to the dropping prices of sugar, which was their primary agricultural crop and source of livelihood. During this time, other tragedies struck the city, such as the colliding of the tanker Tacloban City and an inter-island vessel MV Don Juan. Those vessels that sank carried families from Bacolod, resulting in numerous deaths and missing victims.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In this dark period, the mayor at that time, Jose Montalvo, decided to appropriate funds for a festival to help the people recover from all the depressing events. And so, the first Masskara Festival was held on October 19 in the year 1980, which was the same day as the city's charter day. The event served as a symbol of the strength of the spirit that the people of Bacolod had and still have up to this day.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are several ways to get to Bacolod. You can take a plane from Metro Manila, Cebu, Pampanga, Cagayan De Oro City, or Davao. If you are flying from Manila, you will most likely take 50 minutes before reaching Bacolod. Once you get to Bacolod - Silay Airport, you can take a taxi or a shuttle to your hotel.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My home province Marinduque is most famous for Moriones during Holy Week. However, not many people know that here lies an island which holds treasures that can bring joy and exhilarating feelings to any traveler. Maniwaya Island, despite being a new travel destination, has some of the most breathtaking and stunning shores, water, and rock formations I’ve seen here in the country. It brings a certain serene and quiet atmosphere because of its isolation.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Maniwaya Island is slowly gaining popularity now. A lot of accommodation options are now available on and near the area. Maniwaya is so breathtakingly beautiful that you need to keep your phone or camera fully-charged because of the endless sights of well-grown corals, white sandbars, and clear waters everywhere! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>PERSONAL NOTES</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Day 2 of our Marinduque getaway! We woke up later than our scheduled time to travel so very little time was spent on breakfast. My daughter enjoyed her <i>tosilog</i> and chocolate drink while I quickly finished my <i>daingsilog.</i> “<i>Wag kang magmadali Papa”</i>, she insisted. <i>“Okay, I will just relax… Even if I’m pretty sure that we’re cutting too close and we might miss the 7:00AM jeep to Santa Cruz”, </i>I replied with smile. There was an hour interval before the next trip, and if we don’t catch this early trip, our schedule will be ruined.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The terminal is just a walking distance from Boac Hotel, but we decided to ride a tricycle to manage our time. By a stroke of luck, the scheduled jeepney also arrived late. It was almost boarding time when we arrived. The hour ride from Boac to Santa Cruz felt like minutes, as we were asleep in the entire trip. Yep, that’s one of our father-daughter things: we can sleep anywhere, even in at uncomfortable position.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We arrived at the Santa Cruz Terminal at around 8:00 AM. The jeepney driver was still waiting for four more passengers when we arrived so I just offered to pay the remaining seats so we could leave the terminal ASAP. At this time I was smiling again – we were pretty sure that our main itinerary for the day was still on track.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From Santa Cruz, our Barangay (in Torrijos) was just half an hour travel. I decided to swing by and made the usual <i>kumustahan</i> with relatives for an hour. Finally, at around 10:00 AM, our boat operators arrived - we're heading to Maniwaya Island, our main itinerary on day 2 and 3 of Marinduque getaway. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">To clarify, this is not the usual route going to the island. It’s an additional +45 minutes sea travel compared to coming from the usual jump-off points: Buyabod Pier in Santa Cruz (Marinduque) or in General Luna (Quezon Province). But since I also wanted to visit my relatives while in Marinduque, and my barangay is also a fishing community and has a local docking area of big fishing boats, I decided to arrange and start the Maniwaya trip from there. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From our house, we walked through the now cemented pathway going to the fishing boat docking area called <i>Lalao</i>. <i>Lalao, </i>aside from being my childhood playground and having a special spot in my heart, is a rich habitat of different fauna and flora. It took us more than an hour from the boat docking station in our Barangay <a href="https://www.travelingmorion.com/2019/08/marinduque-province-journey-to-maniwaya.html">going to Maniwaya Island</a>. We had a rough time traveling because of this year’s <i>habagat.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">First things first - we book our accommodation at Wawie’s Beach Resort. I availed the air-conditioned room for Php2500. Their non-air-conditioned rooms/cottages are for Php1200.00 and tents are also available for Php500.00. Power outages or “brownouts” are one of the known problems in the island but the owner assured us that they have a generator set and operational. Upon reaching the resort, I felt relieved to find our room was clean and comfy. The water supply was also good and the hot shower was a plus. The resort also has a restaurant and function hall for videoke sessions. Our cottage was conveniently located near the beach area so the relaxing sea breeze was our best consolation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aside from the resort’s restaurant, there were also a few local food stalls near the resort where you could buy chips, toiletries, bottled water and soda drinks. There is also a branch of Rico’s Inn Restaurant just beside Wawie’s Resort. Rico’s Inn is a popular food place in the town proper of Santa Cruz that served affordable pinoy dishes and snacks like <i>litson kawali, pansit </i>and their famous <i>halo-halo.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a lot of accommodations in Maniwaya Island, which you can easily book online. We stayed at Wawie’s Beach Resort, in the northwestern side of the island, famous for the long stretch of coral beach. The location of the resort is also near everything – most especially within walking distance from restaurants and the warf area going IN and OUT the island. They have a wide selection of room accommodations – from tents and cottages, to non-airconditioned and airconditioned rooms. Lastly, the good thing about their location is the beautiful sunrise and sunset views! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Palad Sandbar is always a good place to go to because it’s not easily accessible; you can only visit it during low tide. The sand there had an off-white shade but it was surrounded by teal water, which made the sky and the sandbar itself look a lot brighter. Plus, it was fun to take photos here because there weren’t a lot of people. You and your friends, family or partner can take endless photos without having to be bothered by other people blocking the view.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our next stop was supposedly Ungab Rock Formation. Unfortunately, the locals and our boat operators advised us not to proceed to it as the waves became quite big and dangerous. But to give you a bit of information about the place, the rock formation is more of a huge arch or a bridge-like formation. You can also climb it. So, if you have a brave heart, you can go rock climbing there. But for those who just want a chill visit, the breathtaking view will be enough to make all the expenses and time spent worth it.</span><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; text-align: right;"> </span></div>

<b>TRAVEL NOTES</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">There is a good mobile signal in the island (3G to LTE) </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Bring enough cash, there are no ATM’s in the island and credit/debit cards are not accepted as of this writing. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Maniwaya Island has two long beach areas of coral sands - the one on the eastern side of the island (docking area of the fishermen) and the northwestern side (Wawie’s Beach area). </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Summer (March to May) is the best time to visit Maniwaya Island. Waves and currents are strong during Habagat and rainy seasons. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The island has now 24 hours electric supply (connected to the mainland) but be prepared for rotational brownouts in the province. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Take note that if you want to go island hopping (to visit the Palad Sandbar and Ungab Rock Formations), it will cost you around Php1500-Php2000. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>There are also fees for camping with your own tent and the cottage rental on Maniwaya Island, but the price varies. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Polo, Mompong and Salamague are the other 3 other interesting islands of Santa Cruz close to Maniwaya – you may opt to include on your itinerary. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Maniwaya Island is inhabited and there is a local community – fishing is the main livelihood. </li>
<li>Talk and interact with the locals – that’s our best experience in the island. They’re warm to visitors and willing to help specially on giving tips on the best spots and where to buy food. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You can buy fresh catch from the fisherman then have it cooked at the restaurants/ food stalls for you. Of course don’t forget to pay for the service. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>There are restaurants and sari-sari stores in the island. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Bring your camera – the views here are amazing!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Flying drones is allowed in the island but check the wind – it tends to get stronger during Habagat season. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Don’t litter! Please preserve the island for your next trip – and for the future generation. </li>
</ul>

We woke up early the next day (day 3) to catch the early trip back to Buyabod Port. There was a regular passenger boat scheduled at 6:30 in the morning from Maniwaya to Buyabod for Php80. The travel time was more or less 45 minutes. From Buyabod, it was a 15-minute travel to Poblacion, Sta Cruz, with a fare of Php120. From Sta Cruz, we hopped on a van stationed in front of the town’s parish church going to Balanacan Port. Travel time was more or less an hour for Php80. We arrived in Balanacan just in time for the 11:00AM scheduled trip of the Montenegro Shipping Lines. We paid Php195.00 (half promo fare) for more than 3 hours of Marinduque - Lucena sea travel. Before the RORO ship left the port, I managed to take a photo of the iconic Our Lady of Biglang Awa beautifully standing on the eastern side of the port, as if waving us goodbye and blessing our trip home.</div>

Tired of the daily grind? Why not breathe some magic into your life with a getaway trip to Marinduque? Lucky for you, Marinduque is now more accessible more than ever.

And when you arrive at this hidden gem, you’ll be spoiled with choices for all the things you can see and do. You can schedule your trip and attend the exciting <a href="http://www.travelingmorion.com/2019/01/marinduque-moriones-festival-2019.html">Moriones Festival</a>, unwind at the beautiful <a href="http://www.travelingmorion.com/2013/10/marinduque-series-part-1-poctoy-white.html">Poctoy White Beach</a>, be one with nature at Mount Malindig, and many more!

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But most of all, you’ll definitely want to go island hoping through the <a href="https://www.travelingmorion.com/2019/07/marinduque-province-tres-reyes-islands.html">Tres Reyes Islands</a>. As the name suggests, it’s made up of three islands namely: Gaspar, Melchor, and Baltazar. Tres Reyes translates to three kings or <i>“tatlong hari,</i>” hence the names of the islands have reference to the bible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Gaspar Island </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Of the three islands, Gaspar Island is the one you don’t want to miss. It’s the largest among the three islands and the most popular among tourists. Its main feature is that it has a beautiful area of coral beach which makes it perfect for bumming around and taking iconic vacation photos. And for the history buffs, you have to know that in 1981, a Chinese vessel was found near the island, which contained many artifacts worth millions of pesos. BTW, if you are interested you can see them at the National Museum’s Underwater Archeology division. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you’re a little bit worried about going too far from land, you’ll want to visit Gaspar Island – a more or less 30-minute boat ride only from the docking area in Barangay Pinggan, Gasan. It’s the one nearer to the mainland of Marinduque. And unlike in Melchor and Baltazar islands, there are cottages made by locals on this Island. And of course once you’re settled in your cottage, you’ll definitely want to go for a swim. But just be careful and remember to not go too far off from the island because the locals say that the current is strong near this island. There’s a small community on the island from whom you can buy some snacks and souvenirs. And if you haven’t had enough of the place, you can even stay the night as long as you bring your own tent or rent the cottage. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Melchor Island</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Melchor Island is located in between of Gaspar and Baltazar Islands. The island’s coastal area is a little bit rocky and docking of boat is a little bit challenging especially during rainy and <i>habagat </i>seasons. The area is also known for occurrence of unpredicted strong current of water so be extra careful. The beautiful cliffs, turquoise water, and abundance of marine life characterize the island. Coconut crabs are also be found in the island. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Baltazar Island</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The last scenic spot is Baltazar Island. If you’re looking for something a little bit more adventurous on your vacation, you’ll definitely want to visit Baltazar Island since it has an exceptional dive spot which is also the most popular in the province. Even better, the dive spot gives you direct access to an underwater cave. Not only do you get an adventure, but also an amazing underwater view, all in one place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, you definitely wouldn’t want to miss out on the magical Tres Reyes Islands of Marinduque. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>PERSONAL NOTES</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our plane, as expected, arrived very early in Gasan Airport – that’s around 6:20 in the morning. It was an a good and short flight from NAIA Terminal 4 compared to usual transport by land and sea from Metro Manila via Lucena City. We immediately looked for the tricycle terminal that would take us to the jump-off point going to Tres Reyes Islands in Gasan - our first destination for this 3-day DIY Marinduque trip.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The tricycle driver brought us to Barangay Pinggan, the jump-off point to Tres Reyes Islands. He introduced us to Manong Ronel Saludes (+639396226765), the boat operator. Gaspar Island or locally called as <i>“Pulo” </i>is our first spot and the nearest island from the mainland which is more or less 20 minutes of boat travel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The small but charming sandbar of Gaspar Island welcomed us. There is a community in the island with one of the most accommodating locals I have ever met. There are no restaurants or food stalls in the island but the locals are kind enough to cook for tourists. There is a small sari-sari store in the island in case you need to buy something. Also, you can buy fresh catch-of-the day from the fishermen. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was actually surprised when I saw coconut crabs (locally called as <i>Igod</i>) caught in the island. It was offered to me for Php700 per kilo but I humbly declined realizing that coconut crabs may be on the list of endangered species.</span><br />

As suggested by one of the locals from the lone <i>sari-sari</i> store near the beach, I walk a little bit farther going to the docking area of fishermen’s boats. There I meet 3 kids playing – they smiled and greeted me with good morning. This part of the island is a little bit rocky and windy. I flew my drone cam and witnessed the beautiful rock formations blending nicely with the clear turquoise water.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The heat of the sun began to rise at 10:00 AM and <i>habagat</i> waves started to roar wild. I asked <i>Manong </i>Ronel to drive us back to the mainland (dock area in Barangay Pinggan) as visiting Baltazar and Melchor Islands are not possible for now because of the <i>habagat</i>. I realized, maybe, it will be reason to set another schedule and go back to Gasan. BTW, according to the locals, March to May (summer) are the best months to visit the three beautiful islands of Tres Reyes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We spent 3 hours in the island, just enough for me to take photographs and drone shots of the island. The bird’s eye view of the shifting sandbar is mesmerizing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s only 20 minutes boat ride from Gaspar Island to the dock area in Barangay Pinggan. Manong Ronel guided us going to the lone <i>karinderya</i> (local restaurant) in the area. We ordered <i>dinuguan</i> and <i>kalamares </i>plus rice and softdrinks (that’s for less than 150 pesos) for our late breakfast and early lunch. <span style="font-family: inherit;">My daughter, Nicole Audrei, joined me in this 3-day Marinduque getaway.</span></div>

then ask the local women to cook for you. Of course don’t forget to pay for the

your camera because the views here are amazing! Flying of drone is allowed in

note that if you want to go island hopping across all three islands, it will

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a lot of accommodations in the town of Gasan, mostly beach resorts. Since we don’t have any itinerary in Gasan in the afternoon, we decided to book our accommodation in Boac, the capital of the province and a neighboring town of Gasan. We booked a room for a night at Boac Hotel, heritage hotel located in the central area of the town where arrays of other heritage houses (Vigan feels) are also located. It is also a walking distance from another must visit in Marinduque, the Boac Cathedral. The ground floor of the hotel is a souvenir store and a restaurant serving famous Marinduque cuisines.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of the gems of the Philippine landscape is certainly the Batad Rice Terraces of Banaue in Ifugao Province. Its importance is not merely for the fact that it’s a sight for sore eyes, but that it represents so much of what the Filipino culture and heritage stands for. The terraces were built by the Ifugao ancestors two thousand years ago almost entirely by hand in order to combat the erosion brought about by heavy rains during the monsoon season. When rain falls, the water will flow gradually from terrace to another until the water is evenly distribute to all the rice plants. This irrigation system stands and lasts till this day – a testament to just how hardworking and innovative the Filipino people can be.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">But standing at around 1500 metres above sea level, this fantastic man-made structure is not very easy to get to! There’s quite a journey to be had when getting to the Batad Rice Terraces - yes, it’s technically called the Batad Rice Terraces! Banaue is merely a starting point off to the village of Batad where the actual terraces are located. It’s located in the province of Ifugao, but going there will take time and energy also.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>PERSONAL NOTES</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is actually a follow-up of my Ifugao trip last January this year. I’ve felt that my Banaue trip was not complete if I haven’t explored Batad and the other equally stunning rice terraces in the area. Along with the famous <a href="https://www.travelingmorion.com/2019/03/ifugao-province-breathtaking-banaue.html">Banaue Rice Terraces</a>, there are five other magnificent rice terraces in Ifugao. I planned this trip while I was in Jakarta airport going back to the Philippines for my quarterly work vacation. Originally, I will be traveling with wife; sadly her work schedule doesn’t permit. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A day before this trip, I was not in a good mood to pursue this trip. You know hormones when you’re in 30’s. Then, I made up my mind the next and found myself riding in an overcrowded bus bound to Coda’s Edsa Terminal (also known as HM Bus Terminal). I arrived 2 hours earlier in the terminal only to realize that I haven’t completed the payment of my reserved bus ticket going to Banaue. Luckily, there are still vacant seats for 11:00 PM schedule and I scored the window seat on the last row. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our bus arrived in Banaue around 7:00AM. I registered first at the Municipal Tourism Office and booked a tour going to Batad Rice Terraces – with side trips in other equally interesting rice terraces along the way. I took most out of the trip while I was in Banaue. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I paid the tourism and the tour fees and boarded the tricycle assigned to me together with Manong Romeo [+639069003340] who was my tour guide. On the way, we dropped for a while at Uyami’s Greenview Lodge which I booked through Agoda - for breakfast and my early check-in (glad they allowed me). I left my things in the hostel and just brought enough cash, my camera, drone and mobile phone. Better to travel lightly for the trek.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The almost one hour road to Batad was already paved. My tour guide and driver were generous enough to drop me to other rice terraces along the way. We made a short stop at Poitan and Guihob Rice Terraces. They always remind me to just take time and enjoy my experience. What a pleasant day for me!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We arrived in Batad saddle point around 9:30AM. From the drop-off point, going to the viewing deck requires a 30-minute trekking. Half of the road going to the view deck is already paved and developed and the other half is still rough road for which I made a mistake of not wearing a trekking shoes. The trail going to the viewing deck (area where most homestays are located) is an easy trek. We stayed there for more than an hour. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I was in awe upon seeing the Batad rice terraces for the first time! The mix of green and gold colors is vibrant; the patterns and lines of the terraces is a sight to behold; and the authentic and charming smile of the locals is heartwarming. I wish I had more time to stay in this kind of comforting place</span>.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are sari-sari stores and restaurants in the area. While I was exploring, the locals were busy doing their usual daily activities. I flew my drone and kept on pressing the photo shot button. Meanwhile, my tour guide is enjoying his brewed coffee and he just keeps on reminding me to just take my time whenever I look at him asking if we’re still on the timeframe of the itinerary.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">We left the viewing deck at 11:55AM. The trek going back to the jump-off point is not as easy as going down. From 30 minutes it became more or less an hour. My tour guide always checks on me and we always stop whenever my lungs give signs “to pause.” But the trek going up is full of good stories from Manong Romeo or maybe full of laughter moments. In one of our stops, he shared to me that he’s the tour guide behind the location hunting and shooting of the rice terraces scene in the box office hit “Avengers: Endgame”! Oh this famous tour guide, Manong Romeo – I forgot to make selfies with you!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />No other itineraries left and I assumed I already accomplished my short comeback in Banaue, I asked the driver and Manong Romeo to take me back to the town proper. At 2:45PM, I took my (late) lunch, roamed around the town for a photo walk and booked my trip ticket for the earliest bus back to Manila.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The fogs started to cover the beautiful town of Banaue around 5:30 PM. I am sipping a cup of tea while enjoying the priceless view of the western part of the famous Banaue rice terraces from the window of Uyami’s restaurant.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>TRAVEL GUIDE and THINGS TO DO IN BATAD</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Upon arrival at Banaue, Ifugao, register and arrange your Batad tour at the Tourism Center. The rates <a href="https://www.travelingmorion.com/2019/06/ifugao-province-journey-to-batad-rice-terraces.html">going to Batad Rice Terraces </a>are standard and they will assign a tricycle/car that will take you to the Batad rice terraces. The cost for a one way trip going to the jump-off point is Php 500 or Php1000 for back and forth trip (chartered). The driver will drop you off at the main drop off point in Batad, the Batad Eco Saddle, after which your 30-minute trek into the Batad village proper will begin. The starting point is marked by a sign which says, “Welcome to Batad.” Once you arrive at the village, there are many local restaurants and homestays where you can spend the day or night to rest before you start your hike. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">According to the locals, the best place to see fantastic views of the rice terraces is at the Awa Viewdeck. The trek to Awa Viewdeck will take a total of 5 hours from the village proper – yep, not for fainthearted! While the walk is taxing and tiring, there are natural springs where you can refill your water as well as shops along the path where you can purchase souvenirs and snacks. The view from the top is worth more than the physical exertion, however, with a delightful view of the entire rice terraces from above. I opted to do Awa viewdeck trekking because of my recent surgery. No worries, if you’re not physically ready also, the view from the main viewdeck is still mesmerizing!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aside from the Batad Viewpoint, another great trek is the Tappiya Waterfalls which is a bit more easy on the knees. The trek to Tappiya Waterfalls back and forth will take 3 hours.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>TRAVEL NOTES</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Arrange your Batad Rice Terraces Tour at the Tourism Information Center in Banaue Town Proper. Pay the Tourism Fee. I availed the day tour package since I was booked at Banaue Town proper – yep, day tour is possible!</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you want to spend overnight, there are homestays in Batad. Transient price ranges from Php 300-Php 750. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>After you arrange your tour at the Tourism Office, a tricycle for Php 1000.00 (two way) or Php 500.00 (one way) will be assigned to you. You can get a guide right away at the tourism office or upon arrival at the saddle point for Php 1200.00 (including Tappiya Falls). I opted not to include Tappiya Falls on my itinerary due to my recent surgery so I paid lesser. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Ensure you have enough cash because there are no ATMs or banks in the area.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The jump-off point is at the area they call saddle point, an hour travel from the Banaue town proper. From the jump-off point, its’ an easy 30-minute down trek going to the view deck.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>From the main viewdeck, Tappiya Falls is more than an hour trek. According to my guide, Manong Romeo, going to and from the falls requires stamina – not for fainthearted!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Start your treks early so you can make it back to the village while the sun is still out.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Carry a walking stick to make your trek easier.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Bring enough water. Food staffs are also available. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Use sunscreen and bring umbrella and jackets to be prepared for the weather whether it's cold or hot.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Bring along a camera - the views are amazing! </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You can fly a drone but please ensure safety and respect the privacy of locals living in the community. Ask advice from your tour guide or ask permission from the locals.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Go during the summer (March to June) to avoid muddy and slippery treks - this is also when there is an abundance of greenery and foliage. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>I explored the Batad Rice Terraces in June, a good timing though. During this month, the rice terraces are colored yellow and green – a combined season of rice growing and harvesting period. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Be prepared because there is no phone signal in the trek site.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Do not haggle with the locals as the prices help support their livelihood.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Please, NO LITTERING! Let’s preserve the cleanliness of Banaue.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>To return back to Banaue from Batad, you can take a jeepney which leaves at 9:30AM and 2:30PM daily or if you’re on a daytour (just like me), chartered tricycle is just waiting at the jump-off point.</li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bandung, the capital of West Java, is a beautiful city sought as a refreshing getaway from the typical hot and humid weather. It boasts of a cool climate all year- round which makes it a popular tourist destination, especially for neighbors in the tropical region. Ciwidey lies within the southern portion of the city which is one of the coldest places in Bandung. Tourists know Ciwidey for being a host to a plethora of activities ranging from adrenaline-pumping adventures like </span>river boarding<span style="font-family: inherit;"> to more laid back ones such as strawberry-picking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, the natural resources and plantations in Ciwidey are truly the highlights of the small town which you must definitely see if you find yourself in the highlands of Indonesia.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>PERSONAL NOTES</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bandung, the capital city of West Java province, is more or less a 4-hour drive from Jakarta. Our starting point in this Bandung travel was Tangerang City, a neighboring city of Jakarta which is about a 45 minutes ride. We’re using a private car and began to travel at 4:00AM to avoid the usual traffic jam around Jakarta. A good decision, because we arrived in Bandung at 7:30AM. Yep, much faster than the usual travel time especially if you get caught in the 7:00AM-8:00AM traffic jam. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our first day in Bandung was spent for work in Cimahi area. We finished the day looking for a sim loading station and a restaurant for dinner. We decided to wake up early, 5:00AM, on DAY 2 to take a sidetrip in Ciwidey’s famous destinations. We had to see the tea plantations and the famous Kawah Putih. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From our hotel in Bandung, Ciwidey is more or less an hour drive if there’s no traffic. Going to Ciwidey from Bandung, we travelled through the expressway then travelled the not so wide Bandung- Ciwidey road. The advantage of traveling early in the morning is (again) you get to avoid heavy traffic. We arrived in Kawa Putih’s admission entrance very early, at around 6:15AM I think. Sadly, the admission was still closed. The opening hour is 7:00AM. So we decided to drive a little farther to have our breakfast and visit first the tea farms. From Kawah Putih admission area, the Ciwidey tea farm is just a 5-minute drive. The view here is amazing!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With an extra time before 7:00AM, we decided to drive a little bit farther to look for a restaurant. Then a sign “Situ Patenggang“ caught our attention and we decided to make a short stop over. We paid the entrance fee and car parking fee at the gate (IDR 65000) then entered the lake zone. While going to the lake area we passed by a beautiful tea farm covered with morning fog. What a beautiful morning sight! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The surprises never end! I flew my drone and discovered that the view of the lake from the sky is totally mesmerizing! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">As much as we want to stay long in Lake Patenggang, we have no choice but to leave after 15 minutes. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We arrived at 7:05AM in the Kawah Putih admission area. We’re the first visitors! We paid the entrance fee – IDR 75000 for foreign and IDR 25000 for local plus the car admission fee of IDR 150,000. We then drove for less than 5 minutes from the admission area going to the Kawah Putih jump off point/area. By the way, there are coaster rides from admission area going to the jump off point for IDR 45000 (back and forth) if you don’t want to pay the IDR 150,000 car admission fee. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Situ (Lake) Patenggang</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Situ Patenggang is a popular destination particularly for lovers because of an old legend stating that the lake was founded to commemorate the reunion between a goddess and her true love. It is even said that couples who visit the lake together will have their union blessed. Aside from the romantic legend behind Situ Patenggang, it’s also a great place for boating. You can either rent a normal wooden banana boat or a pedal boat to take you around the lake. You can also visit the island in the center of the lake called the <i>Pulau Sasaka </i>which translates to “Love Island” or “Amour Island”. Picnics and camping are among the popular activities to do within the vicinity.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The cool climate and fertile soil of Ciwidey makes it a perfect place for tea plantations and it just so happens that the Lake Patenggang is surrounded by them. All around are tea plantations forming hedges upon hedges of greenery that seem to go on as far as the eye can see. Visitors are allowed to walk through the cut paths for pictures and you can even purchase some tea bags and leaves from the locals which are freshly hand-picked from the beautiful plantations. You can bring home the tea leaves to drink or bring home as souvenirs for friends and family.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kawah Putih, when translated in English, stands for “White Crater” which quite accurately describe Kawah Putih. The place is a beautiful mixture of light jade green blending into the white sand at the shore of the volcanic lake that sits atop Mt. Patuha. History states that birds and other creatures would usually avoid flying over this lake, and those that did would be found dead. Later on, it was discovered that this occurrence was due to the high sulfur levels in the body of water and because of this, visitors are not allowed to play or swim inside the lake. However, the stunning lake radiating a turquoise color is a sight to behold and makes the visit worth it.</span></div>

Alternately, you can take a train ride <a href="https://www.travelingmorion.com/2019/03/interesting-spots-and-things-to-do-in-Yogyakarta-Indonesia.html">from Yogyakarta</a> or Jakarta going to Bandung. There are also vans and buses servicing Yogyakarta and Jakarta to Bandung route.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">From the city center of Bandung, you can take the public transportation going to Ciwidey – travel time is more or less one and half hours. Grab (fixed rate or rental) is also a good option to avoid the waiting time and the hassle of public transportation. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Option 2. If you’re in a private car, Google Maps is a great help. From Jakarta to Bandung, take the Cipularang Toll Road (exit in Pasteur Toll gate) travel time is more or less 3 hours. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Option 3. There are lots of tour packages offered online (web/app) – for less hassle and relaxed Bandung getaway.</span></div>

It is composed of three temples built on a pyramid base. Each temple represents history, architecture, and religion. The Borobudur Temple Compound itself is a mix of ancient and Buddhist way of worship. The monument is composed of 2, 672 panels and 504 Buddha statutes. Most of the materials used in the monument is stone, and was originally made without cement or anything to keep the panels together.</span></div>

The design of the Borobudur Temple is also exceptional as it mimics the lotus flower, which reflects the creativity and intelligence of Indonesians during the 8th and 9th century.</span></div>
