One Day in Camiguin | Dinner

Unfortunately, we were stranded in the island. Not that we missed the boat trip, but there was some mechanical problem on the barge that the management advised them not to travel.  We waited for an hour though to have the final word.  When the reality sank into our head, and after calling families that we cannot make it, we headed to town to buy some personal stuff.  Lucky are those who remembered to grab on an extra shirt and extra undies. lol!

So we went back to the place where we had our breakfast.   Not just to have dinner but also to sleep.  Yes, at J & A Fishpen, they have aircon and non-airconditioned dormitories.  We took the non-aircon @ Php 1,000.00 for ten people.

Sorry I forgot to take a shot of the room.  But it was really a cozy one with enough bathrooms, enough comfort rooms, and wash sinks outside the room.  The beds were sturdy built and strong enough to be in place even if someone as big as me will go up the second deck.  But I opted to stay down because it is me who got a problem - I have a hard time going up. lol!

This is me after we said our grace -

Here's us on the next morning.  We woke up three in the morning to catch the first barge scheduled to sail at four o'clock.

    The place looks cosy and homey. I must say that it's just quite affordable. Do you have any pictures of the floating room?

    getting stranded is not so cool! so then you had to pay extra to have a place to stay in. Didn't the boat owners need to compensate at least half of your bill? it's not your fault that they had mechanical issues. Grrrr! I love the food though, yum! :)

    Oh dear! I really don't like getting stranded. Freaks the h**l out of me. Good thing you have company. I appreciate you noting the rates and stuff. Food looks delicious! Pancit is my favorite.

Lake Apo: The Plan and the Visit

Image
The first time I saw Lake Apo in the Facebook account of the owner, Dr. Almer Alfonso, I said to myself, I am going there.  So I clicked Like on the photo and then later ask Dr. Almer how to get there.  Summer was over and first semester started and I still can't put into my schedule a trip to Bukidnon.  I desired to see the place alone.  But then thinking it would be more fun to have company, I tagged the photo to my fellow Iligan blogger, Pinay Travelista .  I am betting she got a mole on her foot thus her travel blog.   Indeed she agreed to make me realize my wish without a second thought.  We thought we could make it last August during the last weekend where Iligan enjoyed a long weekend.   But Dr. Almer was on vacation in the US.  September made us really busy for the planning of the coming MBS5 so the plan was put aside to an unknown schedule. Before September ended, I know I am going to make the plan a reality.  I shared the plan with fellow Iligan bloggers and invited ever...
