Talim Island Part 1

Talim Island is a typical fishing community, a beautiful place to visit mainly because of its people. They were all very warm and accommodating, the fiberglass boats are the only means of getting to the Island that is in the middle of Laguna de Bay. The highest point of Talim Island is the Mount Tagapo or Susong Dalaga. "Susong Dalaga" because the mountain was shape of a woman's breast. On top of Susong Dalaga viewed the entire Laguna de Bay, Mt.Banahaw, Mt.Maculot, the entire Tagaytay Ridge, the SLEX, the Makati and Ortigas skylines, the Antipolo Mountains, Manila Bay, and all towns and provinces around Laguna area including Metro Manila.

I've been to Pipindan and Subay...and I'm always planning to visit Talim Island...but never had a chance to push through.

When I was in High School in Morong Rizal, I had classmates living in Talim Island.

Ganda pala. We'll schedule my visit soon. Nice entry and pics too.
