A view of Lake Taal, late afternoon. Dotted on the lake is fish farms and a rain shower approaching from the east.
After lunch, we returned to the hotel for a few minutes. My asawa (wife) and Nanay (mother-in-law) walked up the street to see a visit a few of the fruit and flower stands. Then, we decided to take a ride down to the lake. The was a local guide Gilbert on a motorcycle that escorted us down to the lake. The drive to the lake is about 30 minutes. You will see many switch backs on the decent. Stopped at a few places during the decent to take photos. Once near lake level took a left, then Gilbert guided us to a boat landing area. Once at the landing area, Gilbert stated that we should take a boat across the lake and climb to volcano. I noted some rain showers moving over the area and decided to wait for the climb the next morning. i took a few more photos and then we returned to the hotel for the evening.
