Family Day at Nuvali.

During one of the long weekends, hubby and I decided to go on a joyride down south and visit Nuvali.  The new changes that we have been hearing warranted a quick visit.  Aside from that, we have been wanting to spend a family day together... just the 3 of us (with our angels).


Our first stop was the EvoLiving Center.  Architecture is somewhat futuristic and the space around is wide... much like what similar building in other countries would look like.  Think modern American and European museums.  Inside are the sales offices of the different developments within Nuvali and lessons in sustainable living -- the main theme of this Ayala project.  I read that the building is eco friendly and consumes far less electricity.
The orange stuff that you see in the picture above are gazillions of koi fish that are definitely the "un-shy" folks of Nuvali.
Nuvali has been known to keep lots and lots and lots of them.  You can buy fish pellets for Php15, feed them and watch them kick each other's fins just to grab a bite of the yummy pellets.  My little boy was so engrossed with feeding them, he never wanted to go anywhere else.
One more thing visitors can do in the EvoLiving Center is enjoy a short boat tour of the man-made lake.
It was not really that marvelous but for Php30 per head, it was not that bad.
Lake is not as big... so don't expect much.  It is a good ride for kids though.
We capped the Nuvali family day with a tour of the Solenad 2.  It's a community retail center with stores like Payless, Nine West, etc.  It has a Robinsons Supermarket and True Value.  Several restaurants have also opened here.  We ate lunch at Gerry's Grill, finished off the day with Serenitea.
I must say that the tour was short but sweet.  That long weekend was time well spent with the family.  I do hope there are more things to see in Nuvali... pretty sure something new will come up the next time we visit.
