at Club Balai Isabel

-Batangas, Philippines-

with WHO WPRO DNH

Club Balai Isabel is a resort.  Located in Batangas, about 80 km south of Manila, lying directly on the northern shore of Lake Taal.  Popular venue for large gatherings.

Our annual division retreat is being held at the resort.

The facilities have been fine overall.

However, the food has been awful.  Breakfast lunch snack dinner, the longest string of crappy meals that I’ve had in the country thus far, plus breakfast and lunch tomorrow.  I have to remind myself with every reluctant bite that I’m not here for the food.
