Visit to Less Travelled Area in Quezon


Stressed from work, so a group of peeps from the group (including me) decided to take time to get away from the city. Luckily, our co-worker invited us to join him and his wife during his visit to his mom in Quezon. Everyone agrees so it will be less expense and organizing for everyone though most of us never been there or heard of the place. The only place I know in Quezon is Gumaca (where my relatives are), Lucban and Lucena.
We meet Saturday morning at 10:00 AM in Metropoint, Pasaysince the bus station where we are riding is just a walking distance from it. (Note: Metropoint is at Pasay Rotonda, the intersection ofEDSA Highway andTaft Avenue. The mall is near many bus stations like Philtranco, Victory Liner, Genesis, and Crown Bus Lines to name a few.

I was advised that the trip will take around 5 hours with 1 bus stop at Lucena Terminal. But the bus have less persons on board thus driver decided to take extra tour and the trip lengthens to 8 hours.
We arrive at my friend’s place at 10:00 PM. Everyone is tired from the trip but we can’t help but eat and drink until the wee the hours of the morning. Then the following day we take a small trip to the port and headed to beach after. Our lunch is so good with fresh tuna and grilled pork and lots of rice.
The trip is fun and so stress-free.
