I am beginning to see that a biking blog will eventually become a travel blog or directory. I think blogging some business enterprise helps others know their stuff, and at the same time educates the blog reader. I did not realize, as I slowed down and made numerous stops (to the discomfort of other Panese men - "napanis sa waiting) there are so many enterprises along the bike routes. Here are some of them:
Bing's Lakeside Restaurant
I did not get the name of this spot with nice view of Laguna Lake
Carabao Grass for Sale
Over Kitchenette at Km l0l
Villa Ruthman, Angel Holding our bikes
Another Nice Spot; could not Read the Signboard
Villa Samonte View Deck
Villa Samonte Warm Springs
Lumban is Famous for Barong Tagalog and Exquisite Embroidery
Another Restaurant and Swimming Pool Resort
Exotica Restaurant In Kalayaan Boasts of Exotic Foods and Ambiance
Manay Restaurant in Pakil where we had pre and post climb meals
Rho Bels Buko Pie in Mabitac.
Bus Stop Resto and Buko Pie and Pasalubong store at Mabitac
JrJ Rattan furniture at San Miguel Mabitac
FRUIT STANDS
There are many fruits in season like lanzones, santol, and rambutan, guavas. But be sure you can canvass for the price. For instance it is P30/kilo in Lumban, but P50.00/kilo in Paete. Some costs more because of the nice packaging and display.
One notable thing is the presence all ready of durian and marang in large quatities which before could only be found in Davao and Southern Mindanao. According to the person we interviewed, a whole stretch from Lumban to Paete is planted to Marang and Durian, and very soon, the market will be flooded with this fruit, together with rambutan.
Rambutan, the Tuklapin Variety only P30/kilo in Lumban
Display is better at Paete and so is the Price
