I spent the last weekend of February '07 in a private resort near San Pablo (Barangay Pulot) to celebrate Auntie Tessie's birthday with the whole family. It was a 2 hour ride (I am not a fast driver by the way) and we reached the place slightly past noontime so we got really hungry from the road trip. By the time we got there, a great selection was already waiting for us -- Crispy Pata, Sinigang na Baboy, Max's Chicken, etc.
After that great meal I slept for about an hour, and then instead of going into the resort pool, we went out and drove for about a kilometer deep into the place to try out their not-so-hidden springs. The water can already be seen by the roadside, and we could see a crowd of about 50 people there. We walked upstream through the crowded areas until we found a more private spot (maybe it was too much trouble just to get there for a simple bath). The cold crystal-clear water was absolutely refreshing!
On the way back, we tried a second spot. It was private property, but thanks to the kind caretakers, our trespassing was not logged. There was a manmade structure on the stream which works like a mini-waterfall with an on/off switch. They just plug the drainpipes and we get our waterfalls... amazing! If you want to have an idea of the water flow feels like there, imagine the weight of 2.5 gallons (about half the standard tank size for water dispensers) of water per second falling directly on your head.
When we got back to the resort, we tried the pool for a bit, and then started to prepare for our long drive home. We took off around 6pm, stopped over at Rose, Sister of Grace for dinner (imitation of the one in Sta. Rosa?), and reached home around 10pm. Zzz....
