Dear Papa P,
When was the last time you went to the zoo?
I think mine was about 5 years ago in 2008. I went to the zoo in Tagaytay and Zoobic Safari in Subic that year because of a job.
I recently watched Matt Damon in We Bought A Zoo and remembered how peaceful it is in a zoo. I mean, there were tons of people in the movie but I haven't really gone to a zoo here in the Philippines that was that packed. Besides, being with animals that are caged, especially the wild ones, that we are there to observe, there is an unspoken treaty of silence.
So I grabbed a friend and of we go.
We took a bus to philcoa to catch an FX from there like most bloggers wrote. It was around noontime and bystanders said there were no more Fx's. So after we had lunch, we took a bus to Batasan, a jeep bound for Maly and got dropped in front of PureGold San Isidro, took an FX bound for Montalban Plaza and took a tryke from Montalban Plaza to the Avilon Zoo. It was quite a commute but we were quite passive about having to transfer multiple times, I think mostly because we were so satisfied with lunch. (Read: My Burger Project: The Pre-zoo Burger)
There IS a less complicated way to get to Avilon Zoo. The best route from EDSA is by going to Cubao and taking an FX bound for Montalban (P50.) Go down Eastwood Greenview Subdivision and take a tricycle to the Avilon Zoo (P60.) The tryke will drop you off right by the entrance of the zoo. Regular Entrance Fee is P400.
