Hello steemians, hope you're doing great and fine today. This is my first post here in #SaturdayMemories and I find this community very engaging and interesting thanks to @olga.maslievich for making this community successful.
I will join this contest on its third week and I will share to you guys how we enjoyed our trip to Alejandra Garden in Balamban, Cebu and enjoyed the Mountain Coffee Shop with its breathtaking view.

It was a cold and windy day to go to the mountains and breathe fresh air and we had a rough ride going to Buwakan ni Alejandra (Alejandra's Garden) in Balamban, Cebu Philippines. This place is the well-known public garden that attracts tourists who love plants and flowers. If you plan to go and visit the place, here is the link of the google map : https://goo.gl/maps/zKVbEbpvfgr1SfHs6

It's just an hour drive from the city, a sure worth it site.

After we enjoyed the amazing garden, we went to Charlie's Cup just a 10-minute drive from the garden. This place is located in a mountain that offers a great view while you enjoy your coffee and food. Here is the map for this coffee shop : https://goo.gl/maps/hk7bZnxTYjgEv6Dq5

Aside from their delicious food and drink you can also enjoy a breathtaking view. You will feel at ease and relax the whole time, I felt at that time that all is well in my life and all my problems will all fade away. This experience makes me thankful of the life that was given to me and the future will have its surprises all for the good of me and my loved ones.
We cannot figure what's ahead of us, what our life could be in the future but let us let it be. Just don't forget to take a break sometimes, go to the mountains, immerse yourself to nature, to the flowers of nature and a cup of coffee ;)
That's all for today, I am very glad to join this contest. Thank you again @olga.maslievich for this opportunity. I would like to invite my friends @aprilmaireyuan and @umme to join this community and this contest.
