The Obrero Place

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.

Well, we can't afford a limo ride so we decided to go PUV instead . My husband and I, along with some friends suddenly came up with the need to get away from the city for a breathe of fresh air.
We hopped on a bus bound for Bukidnon and inform the conductor to drop us off to the right place and since none of us has ever been to the Obrero place before, We end up sitting on the left side of the bus and reading as much signboard as possible to make sure we didn't miss it.

The Obrero place has a huge concrete /marble name with colorful little flags along the highway and very easy to spot (only if you're paying attention). We don't Have prior reservation and we were asked to register our names upon entry. The person in-charge provides us with the van to the actual resort which is built right in the middle of a very wide garden. 

Travel Time: Approx 30 mins 
Fare: PHP 35

We held a pictorial galore courtesy of  our Engineer friend from STEAG.  Almost all pictures are taken using his new camera nikon D90. 





















This whole trip is unplanned but we immensely enjoy our time together. See you in our next whirlwind adventure!
