at the entrance
Last January 8, 2014 was our 2nd wedding anniversary. We didn’t have time to celebrate as I attended two hearings that day, one in Calamba in the morning and one in Manila in the afternoon. But as they say, better late than never. We had a belated celebration of our anniversary three days later at one of our favorite places in the country, Tagaytay City. This is also the first time that we went there as a couple. 🙂
As mentioned, my hubby and I frequented Tagaytay City several times before, but we were both single then. 🙂 This made our trip extra special, since this is our first time to go to Tagaytay together, and also for us to have the chance to visit and experience the Sky Ranch rides. Actually, there is only one ride that I want to try, and that is the Sky Eye, the tallest ferris wheel in the Philippines, with the most fabulous view of the Taal Lake and volcano.
The line at the entrance of the Sky Ranch is very long. It is the weekend after all. But one would not be discouraged with the long line as you would see from afar the huge ferris wheel, the colorful rides, and the seemingly endless blue sky. 🙂
There’s also zipline adventure and we saw this daredevil ride the zipline upside down. 🙂
The entrance fee is PhP100.00, but there’s a 50% off promo when we went there. The other really long line is that one for the rides, as you have to buy tickets for each ride. The ticket for the Sky Eye costs PhP150.00 each.
Once inside the gondola, we noticed that it is not open air. It’s air-conditioned, and there’s a certain quietness while inside the gondola and that unobstructed view of the volcano, the lake, the surrounding provinces of Batangas, Laguna and Cavite.

It was already late afternoon during our turn to ride the Sky Eye. The view of the sunset and the mountains is really exceptional.

After the ride, there’s that mandatory picture taking in front of the Sky Eye that we have just “conquered”. 🙂

And there’s also that couple selfie with the Taal volcano in the background. 🙂

Ahh, what a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary. ❤
