Kalesa

Posted by AudreyRose under Travel

A kalesa (sometimes called a karitela) is a horse-driven calash (carriage) used in the Philippines. The word, also spelled calesa, predates the Spanish conquest and descends ultimately from an Old Church Slavonic word meaning “wheels.” This was one of the modes of transportation introduced in the Philippines in the 18th century by the Spaniards that only nobles and high ranked officials could afford. They are rarely used in the streets nowadays except in tourist spots and some rural areas. (Source: Wikipedia)

Posted by AudreyRose under Road Trip, Travel

Yesterday, I went to the Manila Orchidarium & Butterfly Pavilion with my friend Monic and I was really amazed that amidst this polluted city there is such a place like this. A place where you can relax and enjoy the flowers, the indigenous plants, tree ferns, experience a rainforest and a man made waterfalls.
