Just another Holiday!




It was a rest day during the Labor day, September 4, and adding to that weekend event, I felt like I was on vacation again. Together with Ana, Aleli, Dianne, Bong, Ernesto, Bobot and Jomai, we decided to go to Cultus Lake. This is famous for its water park , beautiful lake, and one of the primary summertime destinations in southern BC. Aside from the water park, it has golf courses, miniature golf, bumper boats, go carts, canoe, boat, marina, restaurants, stables, laundry mat, stores and gas stations. It’s a 95 km away from Vancouver, approximately an hour and a half drive depending on the traffic. To get there, head east via highway 1. Take the exit 104 which will take you through small town of Yarrow to the Cultus lake. Signs to the lake are all over and you will not be lost.
We arrived at 10 am at the main lake’s picnic area. Cost to park was $1.00/hour or $5.00 for the whole day. Luckily, we were one of the early birds so we were able to grabbed a picnic table which is free and were able the best view of the lake. We barbecued some chicken legs, pork, hotdog, salmon and bangus fish. We laid out our mat and played unggoy unggoy, pusoy dos, forty one and lucky 9. Dianne and Bong rented a jet-ski for $80/hour. Renting a jet-ski or boat requires a valid driver's license. We took a nap, ate, picture taking, played, snore, bloated out our bellies, and it was a great holiday!

Map to get there try this or this one. Enjoy!
