On the evening of our anniversary we proceeded with our plan, taking a Van ride from Cubao to Antipolo. She told me that her office mate said that we have to alight in Sta.Lucia Mall in Cainta and take a taxi, barter with them on a fix price to get us there so we would not take a hike up to Cloud9.
What we did is ask the driver of the Van if how far is the walk and he said its just a short walk. So we did follow the driver and guessing a 10 minutes hike.
When we got to Cloud and started walking up, we already saw a of what we thought is the reception area, the security guard. told us to take the stair up, lo' and behold within few minutes we're already at the reception area. Then booked ourselves in a Deluxe Room with Breakfast plus complimentary use of swimming pool.
Just infront of the reception area, you could see already the view from the Cafe Nueve restaurant. we immediately went to dinner. We have a good view of Manila. we ordered a sumptuous dinner Grilled Chicken (Half), Sizzling Sissig. While having dinner we were treated to a wonderful music by a band singing different genre.

Two Singers from the Trio Band, the third one just imagine him as Epi Quizon playing old base guitar (bajo) and singing modern song. they sang hits from Apo Hiking Society, Beegees and other hits..i requested "Grow old with you"
The next morning after having our complimentary breakfast we went to the pool but its still full of leaves and dust, we went up and asked the manager what time it will be cleaned and told us that they will just informed us, if its ready to be use. while waiting we decided to check out the hanging bridge and see the 360 restaurant view deck.
We also noticed that Cloud 9 have old antique's displayed around from the early Filipino, Spanish and American stuff.
They have a pet monkey
7th heaven, one way of getting to the view deck and here after you will take the stairs.
7th Heaven Bridge
But we opted to enjoy the experience of walking in the hanging bridge up to the deck.
Sight from the 360 Restaurant View deck. unfortunately. Its closed i think it opens only during evening.
Its time to go down, a little bit slippery at the beginning just hold on to the side.
