The most exciting part about my trip was that I got this big hotel room at Pan Pacific Hotel all to myself!
In the bathroom, there is this big bathtub that comes with an extra TV. Though small, you can soak yourself and watch TV at the same time! Also, I like it that the mirrored wall opens up to reveal the bedroom. There was another time I stayed alone in a hotel room and I got paranoid when I thought I could hear sounds in the bedroom when I was bathing. With the walls opening up to reveal the bedroom, I feel so much safer here.
This picture shows you more of the bedroom from the bathroom.
Looking into the bathroom from the bedroom.
The bar counter and comes with an assortment of tea and coffee powder for you to brew your own cup of fresh coffee. The sad thing is I really don't have time to use the facilities at all! The breakfast spread was fantastic and I also didnt manage to taste much of it. The first morning I took only toasts to be safe, as my weak stomach threw out the authentic Philippines dinner I had the night before. The second morning I had no time for breakfast as we had to set off at 7am to Batangas, which is a 3 hours drive away from Manila. So lugi!
There's also an executive table and a king size bed. I felt so tiny for once, coz I didn't manage to occupy the whole bed! Hahaha....

This is where I put up in at Batangas for one night. The original plan was to stay in Manila for one night and Batangas for two nights. Thank goodness we had a change of plans and put up in Batangas for only one. Also, the hotel we put up at was worse than my 3 star hotel in Bangkok, although it is probably the best that Batangas has to offer already!
Batangas is a sleepy old town with nothing much to do. Along the way there, there were a lot of farmers and we see cattles and sheeps crossing the roads. There's also a man transporting goods using a horse and carriage! Alas, I was in a van so I didn't manage to capture these moments down.
