The Great Visayan Road Trip: 1st day

Arrived in Cebu. Traveled to Dumaguete. Catch a ferry to Siquijor. Back to Dumaguete as a transit. Swim with the whale sharks in Oslob, Cebu. Back to Cebu City for the Sinulog festival. Rode a ferry to Ormoc, Leyte. City day tour in Tacloban with Jom. Hiked with Fernz for 7 hrs to a waterfall. Joined a local birthday celebration in Catbalogan, Samar. Bus to Legazpi. Back to Manila. The gist of my first roadtrip for the year 2013.

7 days. 6 provinces. 5 islands. 4 days with my sisters and climb friends. Another 3 days of roadtrip with my best friend. 10 kg of clothes and baggage.

Day 1:
Matel, Macy, Kat, Ralph and I went to Cebu, taking the first flight via cebupac and arriving at 5:30 am. We were greeted by our second cousin and we went to their house for a while. We were to rent their van to take us to Oslob but because of a long story, we just borrowed 2 of their cars to take us to Liloan port in Santander, Cebu.

We visited Mary's Castle on the way to the port where we had some photo ops. I didn't think our second-cousin Cory expected that we would take so long hehe


Anyway, we arrived in Liloan at around 130pm. We took the ferry for 30 min, it was a very very bumpy ride, causing most of the passengers to be seasick. I was a bit seasick myself so I went to the upper deck for some air.

When we got to dumaguete, we filled up a multicab to take us to Hous of Sansrival where we await the schedule of the ferry to Siquijor.

We had a good lunch with good desserts, that most of us wanted to walk for a while and digest our food. As macy mentioned, we've been traveling the whole day! We just took the 7pm ferry to siquijor and arrived at 9pm.

In siquijor, we rented a multicab to take us to the resort at Php 500, which I believe to be expensive.

Anyway, that ends our first day :)
