DESTINATION 3: BACLAYON CHURCH

Baclayon Church is one of the oldest churches in our country. Despite its oldness, the church was well-maintained. Based on its architecture, kitang-kita ang traces ng Spanish era.

The church was strict with the dresscode. Dahil nakashorts at tube ako that day, nahiya naman ako pumasok at na-sad ako dahil gusto ko makita yung interiors. But the friendly ate from the church told me that I can still go inside provided na maglagay ako ng tela na provided nila to cover my skin. At dahil jan, nakapasok ako. Yehey! The interiors were very old. It reminded me of San Agustin Church in Manila.

Before leaving the church, our driver told me to look at the side walls of the church and asked us if we noticed anything. Unfortunately, wala talaga akong mapansing kakaiba until tinuro nya yung face sa isa sa mga haligi ng simbahan. It was believed to be Padre Pio's face. When I looked back again, totoo nga. Galing! :)

DESTINATION 4: XZOOTIC ANIMAL PARK

We went to this zoo where we could see one of the largest pythons and have a picture with the animal. I wasn't very excited about it kasi hindi naman ako mahilig sa ganyan. But since on the way naman siya to our next destination, gora na.

Entrance fee is 20pesos. By purchasing the ticket, may automatic 5% or 10% ata na discount sa mga souvenir items. By the way, marami ding souvenir items na binebenta dito pero mas mura pa din sa may Blood Compact Site. :)

Sila mama and papa nag-enjoy magpapicture dun sa malaking ahas. Tulog naman kasi daw. Pero takot pa din ako. Haha! Kaya lang nandun na din ako so I faced my fears at nagpapicture na din with the big Python. Actually dalawa silang Pythons dun. Tulog daw yung ahas na pinicturan namin. Pero yung katabing cage, gising yung ahas at kinikiliti nung tagapag-alaga yung leeg nung ahas. Scary!

Other than the Python, may mga ibang animals din na nandun like the ostrich, squirrels, iguana at iba pa.
