Punto Miguel: An alternative escape point

It's Easter Sunday! An opportune time for us to escape the stressful corporate rat race.

The wind is cool and the smell of verdant trees permeate through the aircon vents of our car. We are traversing the road of Tagaytay going to Anilao in Batangas. I am with my former school buddies. The road traffic is light. Everyone has already in their place of vacation. But here we are, late comers and all, just revving up to our choice destination.

Moments later, the picturesque view of Anilao beach fronts appear in our sights. We are all excited to alight from our vehicle and step on the fine white sand.

At last! We reach Punto Miguel's access point. We board a banca going to the beach resort as it is located across to where we are.

The water is very clear, especially in the middle part of the sea. We saw marine fishes strutting their wares underneath. It's fun watching them charging at a bread morsel that I drop into the water as they fight their way to take a nib on it.

Now, the scorching heat of the sun beginning to burn our skin. It make us wanting to swim all the more. Some of us already spreading sunblock lotion on their arms and legs.

Finally, after a few minutes, we are now on the shore of Punto Miguel. The owner/operator, Mike Pangilinan, a not-so-handsome hulk, err... hunk, who happens to be a former schoolmate of ours, welcome us.

The place is considerably beautiful, but what I like most is that it is secluded. A perfect rendezvous hide-away from the bustling and hustling metro crowd. Truly, an alternative escape point.

Here are some snap shots taken from our two-day stay. Enjoy viewing them!
