Isdaan Floating Restaurant and Fun Park

Last March, after going to the 17th Philippines Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark Airfield, we decided to drop by Isdaan Restaurant in Gerona, Tarlac. We took an instant liking to the the whole concept of the restaurant-slash-theme-park that we immediately made plans to visit this other branch in Calauan,Laguna.

Last month on a Sunday, to put my newly acquired driving skills into practice, we decided to go to Isdaan for lunch.

Like the one in Tarlac, this is filled with larger than life replicas of buddhas, gorillas, mermaids, dinosaurs, a variety of animals and life-size replicas of the different disney characters, angry birds, hulk and other super heroes.

They also have the famous San Kilo bridge, a long and narrow bridge in between 9-ft deep water which you have to cross carrying a pail of water in each hand. If you’re able to cross it successfully without falling in the water, then you got yourself a a kilo of fresh fish which the restaurant will be happy to cook for you.

After breakfast on our last day in Porta Verde…that’s when we decided to take the tour of Lumot Lake. We figured that we would still have time for some last minute swimming and picture-taking before our check out time.

Lumot Lake is also known as Sierra Lake. It is actually a man-made water reservoir in the town of Cavinti and Lumban. According to our tour guide, it acquired the name Lumot Lake {Moss Lake} because there used to be lots of moss in that lake and it made the water turn green. I don’t know if that was true, though.

As promised, here are more of our photos. Upon arriving, sis, Rome and I prepared lunch, we ate, then took a 30-minute rest. After that, everybody went out to look around. The kids whined about when they could go swimming. I coaxed them into taking a few photos first.

They were very exited when everyone changed into their swimsuits! Yup, sis and I wore rashguards because, well, because we wanted to hide a few bulges…LOL!
