Zoobic Safari Toyota Avanza Break-In

The last time we went to Zoobic Safari is to break-in my Honda HR-V.  This time, it is to break-in my Toyota Avanza.  Since it is a seven-seater, we invited Manong (our previous driver) and Norlie (our manicurist), both senior citizens.  Hehehe!

The last time, we left around 5AM.  Since our speed would range between 60 to 80 kph, decided to leave at 4AM.  We would be having our breakfast along the way.  Already had the gas tank filled-up last night, too.

Nothing special about the trip but was able to use the audio jack I bought (the Avanza does not have bluetooth unlike my HR-V) and followed Waze instructions while playing songs from Spotify.

We were looking for a McDonald's along the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) to have our breakfast.  Thinking that we missed the last McDonald's along NLEX before we enter the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), decided to stop at Total Gas Station in San Fernando, Pampanga and we had our breakfast at Bonjour.

Finally, we were at Zoobic Safari around 8:30AM.  Was already able to buy discounted tickets online via MetroDeal.  The new activity we would be doing is the zip line.

There were fewer people there compared to when we were there before.  We were alone in the jeepney (without other family/ group) when were inside the Tiger Safari.  I bought chicken in order for the tigers to actually go near our jeepney.  One even went up the jeepney's roof.  #ThumbsUp

Going back to Manila, we followed again the instructions of Waze.  What is odd, it did not bring us inside Subic.  We actually passed through Morong, Bataan; thus, there were lots of zigzag roads, uphill/ downhill drive--a break-in for the Avanza!

Stopped at Caltex Mega Station along NLEX where we had merienda at Chowking.

Filled-up the gas again at Petron along South Luzon Expressway (to avail of the PhP2.00 per liter off every weekend).  Based on my computation, the Toyota Avanza consumes gas at 14km/liter.
