• from buenavista, sablayan to mamburao, occidental mindoro

• the mini-bus was even more crowded than the previous mini-bus. i had to stand for about an hour during the first leg of the trip (from buenavista to pag-asa). fortunately, some people alighted the bus in pag-asa so i got a seat.

• i was sitting on a window seat so if it weren’t for the cloudy weather, the left side of my body would’ve been darker than the other half. and thank god my seat was above the wheel so i was safe from the dust trail. all i had to be vigilant was when the mini-bus stops to pick up passengers so that i could again cover my face with tork. hahaha!

ii. sro in the roro

• three-hour trip from abra de ilog pier to batangas pier

• the ferry was so overloaded that some people had to endure the entire trip standing. and since we were kinda nagmamaganda that day, we were one of the last people who boarded the ferry. translation: we were one of those who had to stand for three hours aboard the ship. huhuhu!

whew! nakakaloka talaga ang ultimate summer getaway namin! imemersion ito! overall, it was extremely tiring; but certainly fun, nonetheless. for a more detailed record on what transpired in our adventure, check mark d’s (the trip’s official documenter, thanks to his little orange journal) blog entry regarding this. =)
