The Perks of a Caravanning Holiday

October 16, 2012 By Louise

Tired of going vacationing in far countries and always taking the plane to reach your holiday destination? Maybe it’s time you try caravanning with your family or friends.

This form of vacation is more fun as you have an opportunity to go to areas you’d like at your own pace and time. You can visit the beaches, countryside and the city center at the schedule you desire. It’s even considered a green activity because of its low impact on the environment. The best part is you can bring along the whole family without spending much.

Much freedom is what you can enjoy when on a caravanning holiday whether on a mobile home or in a static caravan at secured parks. You can decide on your own with regards to the place you’d like to go and in the time that suits you best.

In Europe, the Americas and Australia, caravanning has become a popular trend with families even taking a luxury holiday. This is possible by hiring a static caravan. This type of caravan provides a separate dining area, separate bedrooms and bathroom complete with water and electricity. It promotes a homey atmosphere that will make families feel like they’re just in their own residence.

Conquering Mount Pinatubo

March 20, 2010 By noemi

Many Filipinos still remember that fateful day in 1991 when a relatively unknown volcano erupted north of the capital. The eruption caused a lot of damage and killed hundreds of people. Its effects were felt far and wide, even affecting the global climate. Today, this volcano has become a destination for many a tourist.

The fact that it erupted fairly recently and that you can hike right up to the crater is too tempting to resist. Even more so, the sight that greets you at the end of the trek is enough to entice anyone – even those who wouldn’t normally go hiking. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

That’s my first view of the crater. The eruption created this gorgeous lake, the depth of which is currently undetermined. I had seen pictures of this view so many times before but nothing prepared me for the real thing.

Yes, you can go swimming in the lake. The water is perfect! At first it may seem too cold but the sun is hot enough to keep you warm.

There are different routes you can take to the crater – we chose the easiest one. We drove all the way to Capas, Tarlac, where the famed Pinatubo Spa is located. We met our guide there, who took us near the crater on a 4×4. That ride lasted about an hour (rough road all the way!), while the trek lasted about 30 minutes. According to the sign below, we’re way older than senior citizens!

I say who cares? The experience was worth everything!
