Top Mommy Blogger Philippines ~ A blog about everyday mommy issues, parenting, marriage, kids, a little bit of travel, and beauty — basically all about me and my family.
So sorry it took me this long to post part two of our trip (Part 1 is here).
After our sumptuous lunch at the restaurant, (check out our lunch here), we took our things to our rooms so we can start gallivanting. Abe’s Farm is a quiet and relaxing place. I think it’s really quiet because we are the only ones staying at the resort at the time. There were many customers at the restaurant, though. It was a favorite stopover among travelers.
Our overnight staycation at Abe’s Farm in Magalang, Pampanga is one of the most memorable staycations I’ve had. It’s my first staycation at a farm which is also a popular restaurant here in Manila, a resort, and a spa.
Sis and I wanted to have a staycation here for the longest time. So when our planned trip to La Union pushed through, we saw that as a chance to give Abe’s farm a visit.
we arrived at the resort just in time for lunch and too early for check in time. So off we went to the restaurant to have one of the most delicious meals of my life. Check out what we had for lunch here:Lunch at Abe’s Farm.
We booked two rooms, one of which was this cozy, air-conditioned Ifugao Hut. It’s near the swimming pool that’s why we made sure to book it. It served as our resting place while swimming.
The hut also has tables and chairs plus a hammock beneath.
One night’s stay at the Ifugao Hut costs ₱ 2,990. It has toiletries, water, and coffee and tea making facility.
This is the matress which can be shared by two persons…
The other room we booked is the ground floor Family Suite which is good for 4 persons. The rate of the room is ₱6,000.
Only one person stayed at the Ifugao Hut, though and then 3 adults and 3 kids stayed at the family suite.
The family suite has four single beds, all covered in a cozy bedsheet that reminded me of my lola’s bed.
These are our complimentary water and cups for coffee.
The restroom and our toiletries…
The amenities included in our stay:
The kids and I put the two single beds together to make one big bed to share!
The 17th Philippine Hot Air Balloon Fiesta was held last February 9-12, 2012 in Clark, Freeport Zone, Pampanga.Tickets cost is P200 per person. We bought seven and decided to go on the second day. On the afternoon of Feb 9, we went to Clark and stayed at Euro Tour Hotel International. We thought it best that we should already be in Angeles the day before because the event starts at 5:30am the next day.
Our hotel was a good 15 minutes away form the venue and we were there around 5am.
{photo grabbed from sis’s blog: Blog Ni Ako}We went around and took photos before finally deciding to camp out on a spot in front.
My girl scout of a sister brought a blanket, so the kids were able to sit on the grass while waiting for the balloons…
The participants started to inflate the balloons at around 6:00 am.
