5am. We are in Victory Liner Baguio Bus Station. From there we bought our tickets going back to Manila.. para ala na hassle on Monday. Then we took a cab going to Dangwa Station. Taxi fare is only 30 pesos… wahaha. Based from our itinerary.. we are an hour late. We may not avail our Caving that day due to schedule issues. Late na kami.. we need to get tickets pa going to Sagada.
6am. Mahaba na yung pila. Next trip is at 8am. Late na nga kami and we still need to have breakfast. Mahaba daw ang byahe.. 6hours pa daw ang byahe going to Sagada. Err.. another 6hours to waste. Just thinking about it, seems like forever already, plus looking at the bus we are about to ride? Parang di makakarating. Going to Baguio is a rough trip to handle.. how much is Sagada? I could only imagine how far that bus can take us. Baka pag gising ko nasa Makati Med na ako.
. We don’t have much choice do we?
8am. We left the bus station 15minutes before 8, just after a very heavy breakfast from a very near resto. Puro yata turista din ang sakay ng bus. Trip was ok, road is bumpy, I got some sleep though. We reached Sagada around 1pm.
1pm. As our itinerary dictates it. We have to pay the environmental fee the moment we reach the town. 20 pesos per head. Then check in sa Hotel (?). The room was… ok. No aircon.. malamig na dun so ok lang ala aircon. I’m not really that choosy when it comes to accommodations, basta may bed pwede na. Then we hired a Tour Guide. Our caving sched is at 2.30pm
2pm. Mag la-lunch muna ang mga hinayupaks. Sabi ni Mr. Oh-so-reliable-itinerary, lunch is at Yoghurt House. Our caving is 30mins away.. so we need a fast lunch. Unfortunately, Yoghurt House can provide us lunch by 3pm pa. So we had to locate another restaurant that could provide us food within 2 seconds, mas mabilis pa sa service ng McDo. We settled with KIMCHI House, since may ready cooked “Chicken” and or “Pork” adobo sila… may oras pa bang mamili ng ulam? That time.. i was like starting a plan to assassinate everyone within reach.. leche gutom na ko.. kelangan ko ng pagkain. My MINI-ME is threatening to commit suicide already.
