Lago de Oro

April 27, 2009.

We went to Lago de Oro to go wakeboarding yesterday. and now i am in pain.

Yes, my muscles hurt. And yes, if you ask me to go back tomorrow i will go. We had a lot of fun trying to learn wakeboarding.

We planned the trip on a monday to avoid the throngs of people who go there during the weekends. I was a little bit worried about the number of people there since my friend Carlo will be there, as well as Ton's friends. When we got there, it turns out that Carlo's friends and Ton's friends were the same people! Hah! We do live in a small world.

Lago de Oro is a nice place. Quiet and serene, which matches the view it has of the South China Sea. The pond for wakeboarding was big enough. It was oblong in shape so in effect, it had 4 sharp turns (90 degree turns) which just suck the strength out of me. The instructors were kind and i hope i'd never forget the tips Kuya Buloy gave me.

The downside was the water in the pond. It was salty and it hurt my eyes and nose everytime i'd wipe out. Then the water in the shower beside the pond smelled weird. But other than that everything else was good.

The fees were much more expensive if you compare it with the rates in CWC (Camarines Sur). But if you take into consideration the distance of the Lago de Oro and CWC from Manila, then it's a tie.

Bottomline: We'd be going back there... soon.
