Today is a holiday here in Manila as we celebrate our Labor Day, this is to commensurate all the hard working Filipinos here and abroad. Today I will take this opportunity to continue my story of our travel since we dont have work and time for my steemit post.

Our next journey brought us to a wonderful place where you will feel the beauty of our nature. The Hidden Garden - Discover the Place

Our Van driver Tony is really familiar here in Vigan Ilocos Sur and brought us here. He said that this is one of the many tourist spot here. It is located at the deep within the heart of Brgy. Bulala.

True to its name, it is really a hidden place of beautiful nature.

When you come inside, you will be greeted with a different structure of Buddhas and Clay pots with different denominations of money. You can donate any amount you wanted. It says that all those money are donated to the less fortunate people of Ilocos Sur.

The entrance to the Garden will show you markings and directions on what to expect inside. At your right are the tall bamboos swerving with touch of the air.

The tour ended with a well (I remember the famous ghost movie character Sadako) and of course Souvenirs. I bought some for my family and colleagues.

My overall experience is fantastic, the wonderful smell of different plants plus the cool weather inside is refreshing and relaxing. If you have not visited this place, it is high time to discover it yourself.
