very beautiful. somehow i wanted to travel to indonesia. said they have the longest ferry ride, 12 days in the sea. that is insane.

the meager lunch

1pm, arrived in panay island, destination.

nonstop taking a bus from the south crossing the island , to the north tip.

there was a famous tourist hotspot, long beach, i slept in that town.

step by step closer to the capital, people looked more n more wealthy.

an extended jeepney.

end of day 13

day 14

in the morning intending to go to the long beach island. i felt something fishy when i approached the seaport. there were no travelers. oh, my . it was the off-limit season, which would last half a year to allow the fish and corals to propagate.

i had to head back and head to the next island, and traversed it and slept at its north side, in order to win some time tommorrow to explore a substitute shore before heading to the capital.

failed to see the famous long beach , i turned my energy to consume a substantial lunch.

a dish of cow's entrails, a slice of fried fish, and soup.

igbesachick:
bought some breakfast. an egg , rice and meat wrapped in bamboo leaves. sour , maybe expired. i chucked them away.

this looks like our local ofada rice here, usually sold wrapped in bamboo leaves

end of day 14

day 15

explored the surroundings of calapan seashore.

z

near sight of the crab raft. pretty big

z

very quiet beach. it was not a famous one. and it was high noon..hot.

some sections of the beach were fenced around by the resorts who claimed to be their own. i was ushered out of one of them , they said i was trespassing.

reached a dead end , a chubby man accosted me asked whether i would take his rent bike to the town, i agreed. but it was still early for the ship. i sat down and waited for him to swim . he put his wallet and watch beside me and jumped in.

wave too big, or else i would follow him

z

sat in his bike and backed to the town harbor.

leaving mindoro island, heading back to luzon island, where the capital manila was.

2 old white men and 2 young arabians were taking their asian girls with them. close to the metropolis capital.

small boat, wavering a lot before it started. but when it was moving, it was way more steady.

nearby islands, churches and factories dotting here and there could be seen .

5pm, arrived in luzon island. it took 3 hours to cross the sea, but 1 hour to dock. a busy wharf.

ate my dinner at a market and went back to the harbor bus terminal , took a 1 hour bus to manila. another 1 more hour to wait for entering the city. traffic jam.
