Third Day of our Journey to Butuan

San Juanico Bridge between Samar and Leyte Province. Considered as one one of the most beautifully-designed bridges in the Philippines. It is the longest bridge in the country, spanning more than 2 kilometers above the sea. Completed in 1973, the building fo the bridge was initiated by Former President Ferdinand Marcos. MY husband is standing in San Juanico Bridge taking video for souvenir.

When we reach San Juanico Bridge all my girls are sleeping. When i woke them up to take some picture they all moaned. As you can see May -may on this picture hubag pa ang mata kay bag -o lang nagmata.









Ate our breakfast at Jolibee in Calbayog City. We stop on this city not only to eat but to be fix our car as well. One of the brake pad need changing because the road from Samar to Calbayog City is very rocky road. What i meant is that road is so lubak lubak . The driver always used the brake so frequently when we arrived in Calbayog one of the tire is already smoking. We are just so lucky that we reach the city that someone could fix the car kay kung sa tunga tunga me nadautan we don't know unsa amo buhaton.The face of the owner of the car is really worried kay basig dili na makabot sa Butuan ang sakyanan tungod sa kadaot sa dalan. My husband said if he only knew that the road is so lubak lubak he won't dare to travel by land. It takes us 3 hours drive from Samar to Calbayog City.





We slept in one of the Travel lodge in Samar. The lodge we slept is near the sea. We woke up around 4am to start our second journey in going to our place Butuan City. My girls enjoying the view of the sea side.








Matnog Pier

It's our first ferry boat ride of our journey. This is the first boat ride of my children and they are all excited. While we are on the top of the ferry boat,we can see the children swimming on the sea and asking to throw some money on them. The children shouting " ate,pambaon lang bukas" (sister, just pocket money for school tomorrow). My children amazed when they saw the kids on the sea.

Land Travel to Butuan City

Land travel from Manila to Butuan City, it takes as 2 nights and 3 days. Our first stopover is this manificient Mount Mayon (the perfect cone). This is the Mount Mayon Volcano in Daraga, Albay. The majestic Mount Mayon is world-famous for it's perfectly-shaped cone. It rises 2,422 meters from it's broad base radius of 10km. It is still considered to be an active volcano, it's last eruption being in 2006. Mount Mayon's most violent recorded eruption was in February 1, 1814 where thousands of people perished and hundreds of acres of land were covered with volcanic lava and dark ash.
