Pseudo Day 1
Cebu - Tagbilaran
Plane ride from Manila to Cebu was uneventful. V slept most of the trip while I alternately chatted with Dan and tried writing a poem. Alright, I might have coerced V to co-write a poem with me to no avail. As of writing, this little piece of airline literature is still unfinished but I totally see potential. Will definitely see the light soon!
We went straight from the airport to the port area, where we were to take a ferry that will take us to Tagbilaran. The ferry ride was, well, you know how the steady rocking motion of the boat coupled with the drone of the engine can be actually quite lulling? So I slept most of the time and awakened to the most integral part of the on-board movie, Hachiko, which made me cry buckets. I must have embarrassed the girlfriend some because at one point she ardently whispered, "Can you please stop crying?"
A two-hour shuttle ride took us from the port of Tagbilaran to our resort. A mixture of exhaustion and excitement bubbled inside me at this point. Wish I can say the same for the rest as we were with V's friends who all work the night shift. It was, by then, late afternoon and if I was exhausted after a semi-full night's sleep I can only imagine how they were faring. The resort was quaint and quiet, perfect for relaxing but if your are the type who would want to party, I suggest heading towards the area where the Bohol Beach Club is located. A full dinner and tentative plans with scary storytelling on the side concluded pseudo Day 1.
Stay locked in for Day 1.
