On a Black Saturday early morning, I texted my cousin how they were doing. They were still in Tingko Beach in Alcoy and we were already in Argao (Abella's Pension House). They were enjoying the sunrise as well as the morning swim in the beach. For us, since we were already in the hometown of my wife, we visited a few of her relatives there in the morning. Then in the afternoon, we decided to check out the Riverstone Castle.
The reception and parking area of the Riverstone Castle.
The place brought us back in time (as if we experienced it firsthand, lolz) and we saw some really nice stone works. Some of them were aged. There were also a few animals in the place but it honestly appeared like they were not well-taken cared of. I hope the management can do something about this because those poor animals were like being tortured. We felt like those animals should be in a forest at best but bigger cages with "animal amenities" would have been fine. I especially pity the monkeys there.
Small pathways to the different junctions of the castle.
My princess posed like a medieval guard.
A medieval bar. I wonder if those bottles still contain wines. Some have content but I wonder if they were still potable.
A nice view deck under a big tree. Now that was cool.
We played a little bit in their playground. Unfortunately, it was also poorly maintained.
Oh, there was Mr. Crocy. :)
And before we were done with the place, family "selfie" as well.
We spent an hour or so in the castle. Nothing much there because again, the place needs to be actively maintained. I know the budget can be tight for this but I think the place is good for tourism if they just spend some good maintenance for this.
