Finally..

Yehey, i finally had the time to sit and blog even for a short time. Eversince we arrived from CDO-Camiguin tour, haven't had the chance to blog, browse or even chat for hours.

First Day : March 13 (Its Friday the 13th...)

We are already in the airport at 3:30AM. We almost missed the first trip. They had an early check in and some of my friends came late ;(

Its fiday the 13th, maybe the reason why we encountered so much trouble during our first day.
We arrived in CDO about 6AM in the morning. our bad as we didn't contact anyone for the van that will bring us in Balingoan port.In the airport,they're asking for a 2.5k rent for the van. Our friends told us that we could get atleast 1.8kfor the van. So we tried contacting someone to deal with, as per manong driver in the phone conversation 2k but we still need to wait for him for about 30 minutes as he just woke up. The deal is closed for 2k in the airport.

Ofcourse our first stop... ATM machine!!!!

The travel last for an hour and half. When we arrived in Balingoan Port,we paid the agreed 2k. After then, we are followed and the manong asked for additional 500 coz the real rent for the van was suppossed to be 3k. Whaat???!!! If that would be the case, we should not wait for him for more than 30 minutesand just rent those van in the airport in the same price. What the???...
Ok, that's the first encounter.

We thought it's over. When we arrived in Benoni Port, there is a multicab already waiting for us. He was contacted by manong driver of the van.He was told that we will have our day tour that day. We disagreed as we already told manong that we will have our tour tomorrow as we are so tired and no sleept yet. We asked the driver to bring us in Paras instead. We are told that the fare will be Php350. Fine. We agreed. Then after a few minutes, we are asked by the driver for us to get the city tour coz he was told by manong.(Ang kulit!) Then we had a discussion with the driver. We are asked to pay Php500 instead for the fare (diba?? 2nd encounter). He was agitated for us to get the city tour. Damn! You know what he did???He dropped us in the middle of nowhere!!! As far as we remember, its in front of the cemetery (kamusta nmn yun???)

So we got out things out of the multicab. The driver still waiting (maybe waiting if we will asked for his help, NAMAN!!!). He told us that there's another multicab that will fetch us. No Way!Then a motorella came and asked if he could help and where are we going with a kid with us. He told us he could bring us in PARAS. Then we rode in a motorella (mini tricycle). 9 of us fit in the motorellafor almost an hour. BTW, the manong driver of the multicab actually called LTO and make sumbong of the driver of the MOTORELLA for fetching us in the highway. KAPAL diba?So we are dropped first in the LTO office of Camiguin to make a scene and prove ourselves that we are a visitors of their island and we are treated that way! hmp!

Whew! after such encounter, we finally reached PARAS resort. It was an exhausted trip from CDO to Camiguin.

This is the motorella (tricycle) where we fit in with (9 pax with all our baggages)

We ate our sumptuous lunch and had a quick rest. Our plan to visit white island never happened as they woke up late in the afternoon ;)

So our itinerary for the 2nd day would be the white island and the city tour.
