Date: May 11-13,2022 

Every adventure is a discovery not only of wondrous nature, splendid creations, kind people and sumptuous meals but of new life learning experiences too. So, go on a journey, explore and experience the life there is outside your own world.

Hello, dear friends! How have you been these past few days? I wasn't able to publish articles for these past three days because I journeyed on a ship together with my three good friends. We embarked an adventure to Camotes Island. We stayed there for three (3) days and two (2) nights. My sincere apology for not updating or writing any article in between the days that we spent there due to exhaustion. I'm hoping for your kind consideration.

Our stay there was filled with fun activities, fascinating views, sweet accoustics, and excellent food. And of course, I must never forget to mention what makes this travel an amazing one, it's the good company that I have been with. Thank you @Itsmeteacherleny and my two other good friends for being with me on this trip. To more aventures with you, soon!

Alright, with no further ado, I shall begin the storytelling...

How We Travel From Ormoc City to Camotes Island

Day 1:

I and my friends came from different municipalities in Leyte. We traverse few kilometers from our municipalities and met our paths in Ormoc City where our ferry boat awaited for us to aboard. We came to the place two-hour early so we decided to bought food and snacks for our two and half hours sea travel to our destination.

We embarked the boat 11:30 A.M. When we set our feet to the boat, all the seats were all taken and there is no way we are going to stand up and be uncomfortable for this trip because we booked earlier that the others. So, we called the attention of one of the in-charge and they added a long chair for us four to seat in.

By the time we settled down, we took out our lunch and started to munch before the boat sailed. Few minutes passed, the Philippine Coast Guard came in and checked if the boat have abided by the standards and instruction. Ay exaclty 12:00 Noon, we sailed to our destination. We are grateful for the provision of good weather, the sea was so cooperative. It was calm and serene and we had a smooth sail.

We Ashore Out Of the Ship To A Wrong Port

Now this is a funny experience I want to share with you. Due to thrill and excitement, we disembarked to the wrong port. Blame us not, we were not quiet informed that there are more than one port in Camotes Island and that's why we came out of the ship immediately to the port of Esperanza.

We walked a few steps and waited for our travel guide. Few moments have passed, he was not there yet. So, we called him and only to found out we went ashore out of the ship to a wrong port. He instructed us to go back to the boat. We then walked at the top of our speed back to the boat. Phew! Glad that the boat didn't leave yet. The other people on the boat wondered why we came back and we told them of what had happened and yes! they confirmed too that we disembarked to the wrong port.

Finally, after approximately twenty (20) minutes we arrived to the port of Bococ ad sure enough, the travel guide was waiting for us already. What an epic and fun experience it was!

From Bococ to Santiago

From Bococ Port, we journeyed to Santiago. The air was fresh, there were many trees and you can even hear the sound of insects on the ways. It was a typical provincial scenario.

After an hour, we finally arrived to our accomodation area and rested there for few hours before we went to the beach and ate our dinner there. If you will to ask, we did not follow the itenirary for day one because we arrived so late. It was almost 5:00 P.M. So, the guide suggested we start our tour on the next day.

Flexing my gorgeous sponsors. Thank you for your constant support. ♡
