What is the best route to Tagaytay?

[moejun2]

digitel,

yeah, i hate those who don't turn right at that intersection. another thing i hate is when tagaytay-bound vehicles don't merge into a single lane near the road leading to la residencia.

[scharnhorst]

twisty yung roads sa talisay diba? hehe

OT:
*moejun2: the place doesn't need an aircon

and hindi ko talaga makakalimutan nung na stuck kami dyan sa buhangin! well, it was a better experience than being stuck in mud

*digitel: hindi ko rin alam sir, no experience with real offroading... sa tingin ko lang in this case pabaliktad kasi yung towing hooks nasa harap

*Chickselog: marami na pala kaming naisasalba nung frontier na yan that was the April of 2009

[Chikselog]

Yeah! I agree here with crave mga sir, lalo na pag weekdays, since I live in the City of Sta. Rosa I can tell you what time is the heavy flow of vehicles, sa umaga meron yan mga 6AM-8AM tapos meron yan ulit sa hapon mga 1PM-2PM tapos mga 4PM-8PM, then meron ulit mga 10PM-11PM. Mga shift po kasi yan ng pasok sa mga company sa Technopark kaya expect mo madame sasakyan sa mga oras na yan.




Mga sir reminder ko lang po kung dadaan kayo sa Sta. Rosa Exit going to tagaytay medyo matraffic na kasi may bagong stop light sa may Ford eh, tapos sa may stop light naman sa paseo two lanes po yun di ba, sa tapat ng panasonic, please follow traffic rules yung nakalagay po na Right Lane must turn Right. Kasi po naiinis ako dun sa iba na hindi marunong sumunod eh! ahaha OT na ahahaha

Wow.. Thanks so much for this info sir .. At least now I know, and also our other readers ..

Sir saan po ba yung Paseo? Is that the Greenfield Pkwy on google maps?

scharnhorst,

yeah, that's it! i parked a few meters away from the beach and walked the rest of the way.

anyway, mushroomburger has been around for a looooong time. it looks that old doesn't it? no airconditioning, old tables and chairs, old world charm hehe.

btw chikselog,

if you want to test your driving skills a bit, drive down to talisay. that should be fun. then take a banca to the crater.

Hehe.. If there will be time and sana mapagtripan ng mga loko kong mga katropa na pumunta ng crater.. I want to go there anyway minsan lang makapunta ng tagaytay eh sana masulit na hehe..

I really want to hone my driving skills .. 1 year pa lang ako nagmamaneho hehe.. Last April 1 ako nakakuha ng non-pro..
sorry ot..

[moejun2]

yup, winding roads, a perfect place to practice engine braking.

and you're right, airconditioning ain't needed up there.

[scharnhorst]

Di nauubusan ng aircon sa Tagaytay hehe.. Kaya gusto din ng dad ko na pumunta dun..

Sa harap ata talaga nilalagay yung tow hooks na yun.. Pati yung Strada ni sir G01 may tow hook sa harap eh.. Tagapagligtas ng mga nasstuck yung Frontier dun hehe..

Sorry OT

EDIT: BTW sir saan po ba ung Paseo? Eto po ba yun?

Ahahaha! Tama sir, nakakainis yung hindi sumusnod di ba? Kaya pag ako na yung nasa likod nila puro busina inaabot sa akin kahit anu pang sasakyan nila,

Hi sir chikselog! Sa may tapat po yun ng caltex pag nadun ka na sa Stoplight sa may panasonic turn left paseo na yun, may parang tower naman po yun, hindi mo po yun mamimiss ahaha, bago mag nuvali pag galing santa rosa.

OT: Sir ok lang yan kahit 1 year pa lang ikaw, baka mag ka age po tayo, 18 pa lang ako eh, pero I was driving for the last 3 years ahahaha kaya sanay na po ako, mag drive ka lang po araw-araw sa busy roads and be careful lalo na kung hindi mo po kabisado daan. ahaha OT na

Mga Sir hindi niyo na po nasagot yung tanong ko kung bakit siya paatras hinihila. hehehe

[Chikselog]

*sir digitel
Hehe magka-age po tayo .. 16 years old ako nagstart magpaturo ang mag practice right after getting my Student Permit.. Mabilis lang rin kasi ako natuto hehe, na-gamay ko agad ang pagddrive luckily .. Problem lang talaga is when I'm not familiar with where I'm going.. Kaya google maps ang takbo ko eh pati dito na rin hehe..


Mga sirs, update lang..
Sa Silang, Cavite daw kami pupunta pero malapit na malapit na raw yun sa Tagaytay.. Ang gulo kasi kausap nung mga yun, di pa nagsisipag-reply ..

According to google maps nakita ko na may part ng Silang sa Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road.. Kaso di ko pa alam kung saan mismo sa Silang kami pupunta.. Kaines kasi tagal magreply .. If ever baka sa Emilio Aguinaldo Hway pa ako mapadpad nito

Naging OT pa tuloy ako sa thread.. Akala ko kasi Tagaytay talaga, sabay Silang daw near Tagaytay, sorry mods..

EDIT: Bukas pa raw macoconfirm kung saan talaga kami.. Hopefully Tagaytay na lang, sayang naman kung hindi..

[moejun2]

if you're going to silang, you can take the Pook road, this is a shortcut found in Lumil, just after Caltex, to your right. turn right then follow the road signs. you'll end up in silang.

however, you can also take the tagaytay route and upon reaching the intersection (called silang crossing) turn right and you'll be traversing aguinaldo hiway. that'll take you to Silang.

Saw it from googlemaps .. Thanks again sir!

[moejun2]

you're lucky we have googlemaps now. when i started driving, i had to rely on strangers for directions. many times they pointed me in the wrong direction. that sucked but i learned a lot.

Hehehe.. My dad tells me that also.. Inexplore lang niya ang buong city of Manila noon.. Wala pa raw maps..

EDIT: Update lang..[SIZE=1] (nahihiya na ako sa inyo mga sirs)[/SIZE]
Bukas raw malalaman kung saan na raw ang location namin.. Nakakairita lang kasi may Fontana na naisingit .. Ang labo kasi eh, hindi ako nauupdate.. Kapag daw di confirmed sa Fontana, sa Silang na.. Haay, they didn't even think na pag-aaralan ko pa yung way papunta dun.. Basta basta pili na lang ng location without updating..

Pasensya na mga sirs, ang labo ko na sorry OT

[moejun2]

no problem sir, just keep us informed

[scharnhorst]

minsan masaya rin mawala.

been in alot of lost situations, especially nung 1st time ko magdrive papunta bicol at nung pa ilocos. haha

[moejun2]

^ yup, you discover a lot of new things when you get lost, things you never knew existed hehe. plus, you get to meet a lot of colorful characters when you stop and ask for directions

[Chikselog]

Waah hehe
Nung pumunta kami Pampanga nawala kami .. Fortunately may mga Kapampangan naman na tumulong .. Babait nila hehe.. We eventually reached our destination

[batang_raon14]

hmm... after backreading parang na-intriga ako sa Eton road ah. However dadaan pa rin ata dun sa 2 lane-only road lampas ng Adventist University na madadali ka na mga trikes and other vehicles na 20kph lang takbo.

If I backread it right, from Valenzuela.. and Silang naman ang punta. Para maiwasan ang pasikot-sikot at makikitid na kalsada, I'd recommend NLEX Southbound... then EDSA all the way straight to Diosdado Macapagal (going MOA), then turn left sa intersection heading to Coastal toll. Pagdating sa interchange sa St. Dominic's sa dulo ng Coastal eh turn right and all the way straight na yun to Silang. Considering Thursday naman ang punta at wala namang pasok ang halos lahat ng schools, maluwag-luwag itong route na 'to.

Haven't done a straight-trip from Valenzuela to Silang, but Balintawak to Evangelista in Pasay is roughly 45 kms., then from Evangelista to Dasmarinas is 30++ kms. Malayo pa Silang sa Dasma, siguro mga 20kms.++ pa yun. Total 95kms. more or less. If my guess is right and Vios ang gamit na auto, more or less 1/4-1/2 ang kaltas sa tank round trip kung di gaanong trapik.

Expect possible bottlenecks on the following area though:

Munoz Market (due to the ongoing railway construction)
Ortigas Flyover (well, kung swertehin hindi)
Merge after EDSA-Magallanes of vehicles heading for Pasay (yung may flyover going to Domestic Airport)
Interchange sa may St. Dominic lampas ng Coastal toll
SM Bacoor Interchange
Robinsons Imus


After Imus smooth-sailing na yan. Personally I prefer this route compared to SLEX because the only toll I'd have to pay is 22 pesos (sa Coastal). Not to mention mas sulit ang feel ko na doon dumaan kaysa sa SLEX considering the traffic conditions approaching Sucat and Alabang flyover because of the Skyway construction.

Just my .02. But if you still prefer to go ahead to the SLEX route, feel free to do so. Isa lang kasing feel ko pa pag SLEX ang daan (given na Silang naman ang pupuntahan) eh parang umikot pa.

[crave]

hmm... after backreading parang na-intriga ako sa Eton road ah.

ok talaga dyan sa Eton city. ang ganda ng kalsada, to the point na ang sarap bumirit kasi halos walang dumadaan. konti pa lang kasi ang nakakaalam. mostly, taga- south lang din. my max speed there is 180kph.

here is a pic:

[blue_gambit]

Sir since taga valenzuela ka eto pa short cut, if etiher mag coastal-aguinaldo hi-way ka or SLEX. Punta C-3 or C-4 Navotas, make a left on Radial 10 (Pier Rd.) deretso lang hanggang umabot ka ng Roxas Blvd, then straight to baclaran. Or if SLEX k turn left at quirino ave, go past TAFT ave. then right to OSMENA hi-way. I always take sta. rosa exit, its simpler at hindi naman sobra traffic lage.

note avoid driving at Pier/Radial 10 rd. ng 2pm onwards of wednesdays and thursday. Yun ang dating daw ng mga barko so expect traffic, pero di naman tulad ng EDSA.

Waah hehe
