Madali lamang ang byahe papuntang Malacañang of the North at Lawa ng Paoay. Mula Paoay Church, sumakay lang ng tricycle. Mas mabuti na mag-renta lang ng isang tricycle at paghintayin. Makipagkasundo na lamang sa driver ng tamang presyo. Hindi ka naman aabutin ng matagal sa lugar. Matapos mong libutin ang bahay at ang kapaligiran, at kumuha ng mga litrato, tapos na. Mas magandang pumunta doon bago mananghalian para maiwasan ang maraming tao. Huli kong punta sa lugar na ito ay noong 2008 pa at baka marami na ang nagbago. Pinagpayuhan rin ako na huwag bumisita tuwing tag-ulan dahil minsan ay umaapaw ang Lawa ng Paoay.
Going to Malacañang of the North and Paoay Lake is easy. From Paoay Chruch, ride a tricycle. It is better if you just rent a tricycle and ask the driver to wait for you. Negotiate a reasonable price with the driver. The place will not take much of your time. Once you have explored the whole house and compound, and taken enough pictures, you are done. The best time to visit is before lunch so you can avoid the crowds. The last time I went here was in 2008 and things may have changed by now. I was advised not to visit the place during monsoon seasons because Paoay Lake sometimes overflows its banks. (By Rob San Miguel)
