Day 737 - Between feet and motors

Today we spent the majority of our time skipping between slow and fast forms of transportation. Lugging our packs around while using footpower was considerably more difficult than dumping them in a jeepney. We walked from our hotel and jumped on a jeep that battled peak hour Manila traffic and eventually dropped us at an intersection where we walked in search of a bus. Our bus repeated the intersection drop-off and soon we were walking in search of another jeep that drove us to Talisay. In Talisay we walk some more before jamming the 3 of us into a tricycle for the journey 3km out of town. It was at this stage that our day really started going downhill as we began the search for the best of the bad accommodation available here!

Accommodation sorted we attempted to find a restaurant only to be told there weren't any, and that we'd have to make do with the street vendors selling fried chicken and eggs.

The only real positive aspect of our day was that we're perched right on the edge of Taal Lake - which is home to Taal Volcano, one of the worlds smallest and deadliest. The volcano has 47 craters and 35 volcanic cones - the most stunning is Binitiang Malaki, which we had amazing view of from our hotel.Adlibing it to Lake Taal.
