Wednesday Walk - wandering around in the People's Park in Sky at nearly noon.

As I shared a few days ago, "We spent our anniversary at Crosswinds Tagaytay - Switzerland, of the Philippines." The staycation was great as it was a place you would want to go back again for relaxation, especially on cold days.

Supposedly, we are going home after, but we got an offer from the tricycle driver yesterday for a tour for $18. One thing I learned after visiting Tagaytay is that renting a car or having your own is much better. Tourist spots are far from one another. The fare was expensive. The amount we agreed on includes People's Park in the Sky, Picnic Groove, SVD farm, Skyranch, Taal Lake, and Sunflower farm.

For today's #Wednesdaywalk hosted by @tattoodjay and in collaboration with @elizacheng, I hope this post will make you smile. Let me share with you our latest walk at People's Park in the Sky Tagaytay.

The vehicle we rented was called Bokyo by the residents.

The entrance fee cost $0.27, and from there, you may ride on a jeepney to avoid walking to the Park.

There were only a few people in line at the entrance as it was almost eleven in the morning.

The jeep and fare cost $0.18.

The main Park from the entrance was just a short distance; if my calculations were correct, it was less than three minutes drive. However, walking was tiring as it was an assault, not to mention the striking heat of the sun.

Still, few people choose to walk. Us? We rode in the jeepney as it seemed the sun's rays could burn my skin 🤣.

The moment you step down from the vehicle, you will see this tower. As per the staff maintaining the area, tourists can climb up the peak. Thus I dared not. By looking at the tower, I already had trust issues if the steel was strong enough to hold.

As we walk near the tower, we find this Pineapple.

Aside from beautiful sceneries and cold weather, as it was located at a high altitude, it was also known for pineapple farms. There was even Pilipinyahan Summer Festival to promote the their most agricultural product.

After several more walks, I know why it was called people's Park in the Sky. Standing near the fence, I could see the view of villages, the town as it was almost at the top of the mountain. However, it could have been clearer, and I am not using a high specs phone. I should have captured decent pictures. Got only these;

After checking out some areas, the husband and I decided to go for some souvenirs.

The stairs going down were not that steep, and there were handrails.

The building was old, where you could find some items such as caps, wallets, tote bags, and t-shirts imprinted with Tagaytay.

Since it was hot, I bought a cap to protect my face from sunburn.

A few steps away from here are the benches and bleachers where people could rest or eat.

On the right side of the benches found a small canteen selling Silog meals - short orders.

A small store also sold some refreshments perfect for the thirsty and dry throats! The good news, there was ice cream, and the seller was even ringing a bell.

We followed the path, and we were already led to the exit. Wait, wait, it seemed we missed something!

The entrance was beside the exit. The bystander answered my question. Perhaps, he overheard me complaining to the husband.

He was right, after all.

The road going back to the main entrance of the Park.

The entrance goes up to the small chapel where you can find the big statue of Jesus Christ.

There is nothing to worry about if you feared heights, as stairs were secured.

Above is a small chapel, and you can see a small altar. In a corner, you can light some candles. I don't know if you also had that tradition, but us; every time we visited a church or a chapel for the first time? We light a candle and whisper our prayers.

Aside from the tower above, this is the highest peak in the Park, where you can have an overlooking view.

However, since it was almost noon, we hurriedly went down. The husband walked fast, and I was left behind. Haha, no more holding hands as of the moment. Yet, he manages to capture this photo of mine.

Hello, fellow Hivers; Happy Wednesday, and I hope you are all enjoying the day just like me as of the writing. 😉
