IN last week's issue of Fast Times, we featured places that can be visited within a 100-kilometer (km) distance from Manila. This week, we are going further, featuring places you can drive to within a 200-km radius from Manila.

It is now double the distance, and careful planning for a road trip to these places is highly recommended, as the longer distance now requires staying overnight. So, it is best to work out the details like making an itinerary, identifying attractions to visit, knowing where to stay, what to bring, where to eat, and so on. It is also important that the vehicle has undergone some preventive maintenance procedure before going on a longer trip.
