How to get there by public transpo?  Go to the Dumaguete-Bais terminal and ride a bus for Php35.00 for non-A/C and Php60.00 for A/C.  Just tell the conductor to drop you where you can Dolphin watch.  Some pedicabs are already waiting for tourists for the packaged tour and will take you to Capinahan Wharf.  It's important that you buy lunch first that you can bring during the tour.  We opted for a drive through Jollibee, We did it in style.

Cavite| Hacienda Isabella

Kudos to our organizers for choosing this homey place.  I love everything about it.  The best part - I got to enjoy it for only Php200.00 (employee's share for our office team building).

Getting there is quite a challenge as it is located in a remote village in Indang, Cavite.  Added to this is the heavy traffic in the Metro and Tagaytay.  Travel time became more than 3 hours.  We were already tired when we arrived there.

how will this look when darkness come?

But it is a real marvel.  Entering the huge gates and seeing the intricate designs keep me in awe.  It's really a hacienda. Every nook and corner were well taken care of and with interesting display pieces. Knowing Kuh Ledesma as celebrity, it's no wonder if her place is stunning.  This by the way is named after her only child and daughter, Isabella.

It feels like being in a beautiful dream where you will visit your wealthy grandmother in the province.
