Whew! I just had not really the best but quite special experience hanging out in BaniOkreek. It was not all fun and scenes, it was also a drag and a really feet aching, legs and muscles crying kind of adventure. I have to literally catch my breath going up and down in this one of a kind place. It sure beats the common pools and resorts I've been to. If you're a certified nature freak, this one's for you. The long way drive, the muddy road and zigzag path and then the breath stopping stairs that you have to climb down below to reach the resort. It all adds up to the whole new meaning of Team Building. We spent just a day and a night on this place but I can't get it out of my head, I'm from Cavite myself but I never realized and truly appreaciate how great this place is. Until I sit down on my team mate's car, watch the view from a moving vehicle and experience nature myself. Watching Taal from a moving vehicle is not great compare to watching it all the way down from an overlooking hotel or resort nearby. It depicts a calm, scenic and a makes you want the climb the top of the mountain feeling. I have few shots of it and I really blew it off when all I can capture is just a peek of the mountain, well what more can you do when you're inside a very much fast moving vehicle, ayt? Well, were not really there for the view of Taal anyway we're in Cavite, in a place called Baniokreek, a spot located in the very much hidden location in Tagaytay and Silang to spend our first Real team building. Pretty much basically to bond the team and promote camaraderie...yada..yada...hahha...So much for the meaning of team bulding, I dont intend to fill my blog with the mere meaning of it. I intend to share the fun, the experience, the scenes and everything I can literally can't get my head to stop thinking.
Okay, let's start from the top, when you arrive on the place, you'll be greeted with a yellow gate along with the name of the place and then they have a spacious parking lot surrounded with trees and plants. On the middle sits a bench with the cliff just a few steps back, imagine stepping on the wrong side of the ground and you'll be downhill, way down down deep, into your death, hahahha...Now, entering the resort you'll be welcome with a very long yellow stairs down below, that you really dont think its leading some place else below. Within all the way half of going down, you will see the pool, a sign that says 142 therapeautic steps, well, I really hope it did worked because if there's anything else that my feet and legs needs right now after suffering those terrible steps its a huge massage and weeks of theraphy. Anyway, as I was saying, there's a small pool, a bar, kitchen, a huge veranda, a billiard table, videoke room and a few steps up , the room where you can stay. Now, I thought this will be our stop, unfortunately, we're just halfway there, we had to go thru another 142 steps down below before we've reach our final destination, but it was definitely worth the wait. Down below is videoke room, a huge place to stay, a bar and a kicthen and the creek below overlooking under the veranda. There's a lot of Christmas trees and they were gorgeous, wish I can put one of them on my bag and bring it home. Once we get there they started right away with the videoke while some of us are busy preparing lunch, some are unpacking and some are taking pictures. We spent the overnight accompanied by the huge rain so we cant go swim because we'll freeze to death, knowing were in Tagaytay, the second summer capital of the world, swimming will be like dipping yourself into pure ice. So the next day, it was a sunny morning and so there we started swimming and man, its still so cold, and then when the wind blew it'll be like so cold, you'll see your breath in the air when you speak. Despite of the cold, we stayed in the pool for more than 2 hours, talking laughing and gossipping, talk about team building huh? Well, after that we ate lunch and went headed for home. We had a few stop-overs like, going to Pink Sisters Chapel and dropped our wishes, they buy pasalubong like sweets and fruits. All in all, I can't really translate each detail into word cos it will probably consume all the space here in my site but it was a fantastic experience and if given a chance I'd like to go back to that place and experience the place differently.
