Bus Fare – php 40.00 (sign says Oslob)

wow.. aga! and people are awake... hehee... last pictures at the house! cheeze! we were waiting for ceres bus, they say every 15mins they go by... but maybe they were late then.... wla rin dyip.. naku.. we can't be delayed... hehe.. late na rin si lola.. may klase daw ksi sya.. so we decided to take the dyip... wishin we would encounter a bus along the road... it cost us... php 5.00 each.. then there was a ceres bus... we pulled over and ride. ceres bus is the only bus liner available there... they only got one speed and that is fast... any driver you meet have the same traits.. im just amazed about how they do it along blind curves... maybe they know the road like they know their name... people were'nt complainin about it.. we are the only ones who's scared... they are like buses in our express ways... or the bus we see at 2am... at syempre 100% ang hangin sa labas... i think they alternate their aircon and non-aircon buses... if ur patient... u can wait for it a little longer... approx. 30mins ryt? i didn't understand y we went off the bus and ride the multicab.. maybe it'll get us there faster... fortunately the driver was one of Aimee's relatives (i think) so fare was free.. she drop us off at the sumilon port.

07:00 AM – Travel to Sumilon Port
Sumilon Day Tour Package – php 1,000.00

Inclusive of lunch, boat ride, snorkelling gears and access to all amenities

unlike any other ordinary port... this is the best.. its complete.. the view is one of a kind.. you can even stay here overnyt... but i guess not for a big no. of people... you'll enjoy taking pictures here... ul enjoy the port walk to the boat... the boat looks fine... better than the ordinary.. with class.. that gets you to be excited to arrive at the island more and more...

08:00 AM – Arrive in Sumilon Island
Activities:
snorkeling, paddle boating, kayaking, swimming, etc.

our boat can't get closer to the dock because another boat was there.. so, the alternate solution is to ride the mini-boat we have aboard just to get closer and start our day.. it was being pulled by a crew who is walking to the water... aliw! so, we got there... a island shuttle was there to welcome us.. obviously it was very useful coz we still have our bags... while riding ul enjoy the pleasure of taking a peek on what the island is like... a view of the forest, the sandbar, the blue ocean water and the cottages... prang patikim! ang saya! ang ganda! prang sa picture! wohoo! and the lobby wow! look at the pool.. breath-taking.. we met there Jetjet and Ana, they are the frontdesk personnels. They accomodated us and help us with our bags, you can keep ur valuables in a safety bags though its small.. for bigger items.. they'll keep in it the office. We were able to talked with the manager, Sir Leo. He was nice.. he's very good in what he's doing.. you know, marketing the place.. he's nice to talked to. He makes you realize what you need to realize when you're there.. and we did. I dnt have to tell because that defines ur sumilon island experience. We swim, took on snorkelling though waves were tough.. kayaking even my friends are the worse drivers and the highlight part of it.. was the trek. Jetjet gave us a map, a trekking stick and a smile.. "happy trekking!" He said we can do it for less than an hour, it took us an excruciating 2 hours or more under the heat of the sun to go around and trek the island.. it was one hell of an experience. damn! i got sunburn! i was tired and exhausted.. i couldn't wait to get back.. the trail wasn't easy.. u go up and down.. it goes flat or rocky... there are stops and seats along the way if u needed to rest and... man! my sandals wasn't made for this.. poor sandals... huhuhu... nweiz, it was worth it.. how many can say that they had a chance to walk around an island.. well, i did! rock on!

05:00 PM – Travel to Oslob
Boat Ride

we got on the main road and waited for the ceres bus again... we were running late.. we need to get to the terminal before 6:00pm coz locals told us that last trip to cebu leaves at 6:00pm. gosh! or else we'll need to stay another night at bato.. and who knows where we can stay there? we have Aimee's house as last resort.. but for us, it was uncalled for. so, we prayed to reach on time..

06:00 PM – Travel to Bato, Ceres Bus Terminal (1 hr)
Bus Fare – php 50.00

prayin....

07:00 PM – Arrive at Bato then look for Bus to Cebu

at last the terminal, we were running like we are in a race... searching for the last bus.. at first we overlooked it coz it didn't have their lights turn on.. and we were the 1st passengers... wohoo! we are lucky!

07:30 PM – Travel to Badian (2hrs)
Bus Fare – php 50.00 each

this bus is definitely fast.. people along the road took off when this bus passes... Kaye was sleeping.. Aimee took pictures of her.. poor Kaye... Aimee took the chance to talk to the driver at ung conductor... at eto.. napagalitan lng kmi nung nalaman na pro babae kmi.. bakit daw?!! gabi-gabi na... sorii po... adventurous lng..

09:30 PM – Arrive at Matutinao, Badian

we're here... yey! wow, it was dark! tama nga si kuya! mapapagalitan nga kmi... they advised us to just stay at the near by resort instead of hiking at that time... so, we did.

09:40 PM – Check in at Matutinao Beach Resort
Cottages – php 500.00
Dinner (Lechon Manok sila, Cornbeef with Egg ako! plus softdrinks) - php 120.00

if you notice.. mahal tlga ang food dnt know y.. pro kesa di kumain... the rooms are not very pleasing in the inside (hate the design) but ok in the outside.. you share veranda's with ur neighbor... you can choose aircon or eletric fan.. we chose the fan so, we could dry our wet clothes... it has a bathroom with shower.. bed is gud for 3.. one is bigger than the other... nweiz, it was good enough for lodging purposes..
