The Kapadyaks nearly balked on the Lemery ride from Tagaytay but we did it!

Post for the Lemery ride yesterday, October 27, 2013

When we arrived at Tagaytay yesterday at about 11 am, there was a lot of discussion as to whether we will continue to  Lemery or not.  Some would just want to go to the Sky Ranch (the big Ferris wheel. It was crowded.  Business models are correct in saying that something unique and compelling would draw crowds.

But many and I am one of them agreed that it was our plan/goal to go to Lemery.  We had gone to Tagaytay so many times, and we had to break out of that mold. Many feared that going back would take its toll, especially returning from Lemery back to Tagaytay.  It was understandable after the  Mendez road torture.

And so we did.  We were in Lemery by 12:00 noon, and we had our lunch by 100 pm at Aling Betchay.  By that time, our thanks were empty.  We left Tagaytay at almost 2 pm

                                    Still debating as to we will go or not;  about to ascent to Lemery

                                    We were in Lemery after 15 minutes

                                    Sana they dont display the laundry to the tourists

I am glad that we pushed through with the Lemery ride.  What we planned to do we do.  And that is success.  Now we can tell everyone we went to Lemery, no doubt about it.  We were so near and everybody was balking and changing their minds.

It is a pity we did not enjoy the nice scenery and the cool weather. I did as I took the pictures.  I may be delayed by 5 minutes but I was able to do this task and Ado was only say a 100 meters ahead
