Trying Out SCTexpressway
May 12, 2008We left Talavera at around 8:30 a.m. yesterday, still in convoy with my sister and her daughter. Along the way home, we decided to pass by Subic Freeport. We want to experience the newly opened expressway that is the SCTex. Tom, my hubby, felt like exploring the expressway from end to end so we trekked the long road from Talavera, Nueva Ecija to Tarlac City to get to start at the end point.
However, we were disappointed to find out that the said point of entry is not opened yet for public. We haven’t had any choice but to drive to Nlex. There were lots of shifts and turns that made us lose convoy with my sister’s car. Luckily, we have managed to get through SCTex via Dau interchange but still losing my sister’s car behind. Until she called us up and ask to wait for her at the Tipo Interchange in Subic. The long and tiresome journey lead us to Teriyaki Boy Restaurant as soon as we arrived Subic Freefort. We had a sumptuos japanese chow. ‘Twas a real great meal for me for I love Japanese foods so much, (but only next to Chinese food,). Furthermore, my sis paid for the bill that made it more enjoyable (Lol). After we have filled up our tummies, the shopping rounds followed. I picked another tent for I can’t resist the very low price of it. Only a thousand pesos against the 3,500 pesos of our first tent. There were also Havaianas Flip Plops that caught my attention. Priced less than half of what I was wearing, I almost picked a pair or two, but not until after a thorough inspection and comparison. I found out they were fakes. I thought I found another bargain. Obviously, they were not. Shop, shop and shop we went ‘til my leg muscles ached. Nevertheless, we enjoyed Subic once again. We parted ways with my sister and her daughter, Trisha Mae at the Dinalupihan Exit of SCTex, the other end of the expressway. We were able to trekked the full available stretch of it.
It is one magnificent highway to traverse if only we can ignore the high-priced toll card and only if they have installed comfort rooms along the very long stretch of it. Nevertheless, we went home happy and satisfied though very tired and sleepy.

I think it’s 112pesos from Dau to Tipo, Subic and 24pesos from Subic to Dinalupihan.
