Visiting the Bamboo Farm in San Andres
One lazy afternoon, my mother told us to get ready and since I have thought we are just going to town, I replied, I am ready. She asked if I am sure because I am just wearing a house dress, so I asked back if where we are going. Well, it turns out, she is bored and she has something in her mind.
It was been a long time we are planning to visit the Bamboo Farm in San Andres, so that’s where we went together with our cousins, it was a good thing we brought them because if we didn’t we maybe lost our way. We made a right turn to the Sunflower Farm but it turns out it was a wrong turn, it should be next one.
We reached a point, where there are two roads and we don’t know which one to take. Gladly, the people were helpful and they told us to go on the road going upward, my sister driving the big bike asked our cousin to interchange since it was too big for her and she can’t reach the ground just in case something happened along the way.
Unexpected, but the road is concreted. It has been just a challenge that is going upward, the view along the way is astonishing because you can see things below, the sea, houses and the streets. We really don’t know where to stop, but gladly we found a group of people ahead of us, they are taking photos in the bushes which looks like bamboo to us.
It was disappointing because the bamboo farm wasn’t the way it looks to be in photos, it wasn’t cared of. I think we visited in a wrong time of the year, we should not visit in summer.
Nothing much to do, we left the farm and went to downtown San Andres to feel cool by eating Halo-halo for ₱25.00 only. It is a popular Filipino dessert with a mixture of shaved ice and evaporated milk to which various ingredients are added, including boiled sweet beans, young corn, coconut, camote, banana plantain, ripe jackfruit, sago, gulaman, fruits, leche plan and yam ice cream. It is served in a tall bowl.
