Ang Paglalakbay sa Isla del Fuego

After letting Toodles and Bessy experience a little part of Bacolod, we headed back to Kima's to doze off for a couple of hours. We had to wake up at 3AM, so we can make it to the 4AM bus from Bacolod to Dumaguete (via Ceres Liner, fare around PhP230). Now this bus ride is one very exhausting road trip. Kung sino man ang nagsabi nang "It's not the destination, it's the journey", pwes, hindi pa nya naexperience ang maupo sa bus ng almost 7 hours. Haggardo!

After the road trip, water trip naman, we boarded the MV Jaylann 2. From Dumaguete to Siquijor, the ferry normally takes 50 minutes to 1 hour (fare is PhP180).

From Manila, Siquijor is easily accessible via Dumaguete airport. From the airport, a tricycle ride should take you to the port, it's just around 2-3 kilometers away and would cost around PhP20-30. I do not recommend cabs because they would charge PhP100-150. 

Breaking dawn at Negros.:)



Ayoko nang maniwala sa "It's not the destination, it's the journey"... kapoooy!

After 7 hours, we were dropped off by the bus at the Port of Dumaguete.

Byers, Dumaguete!

Eto na nga, pictorial galore na lang.

Bakit kasi kelangang mag Fedora?:P  

Sisaw and Bessy: bagong love team? hihihi!:D

Hazy and Toodles: hindi masyadong mahangin sa labas.:P 

Ang dami kong gutom!

First sight: Siquijor says hello!

Bacolod is equal to Inasal

Around this time last year, I was pretty ecstatic about our first trip for 2011: beaching at the mystical island of Siquijor. This was a barkada trip with 6 of the best people in the world: Sisaw Hewa, Bro Eddieboy, Hazy, Gueny, Toodles and Bessy.

Before heading to Siquijor, we dropped by our hometown, the city of smiles, Bacolod! All 5 of us grew up here, but it's Toodles' and Bessy's first time, so it's just proper that they'd get to experience the authentic Bacolod chicken inasal, and see the ever famous landmark that's often seen in postcards, The Capitol Lagoon.

Delayed, yes, but what is important is we got there!

Kan-on all you can. Yes!

City of Smiles? Make that City of Laughter.:D

At the Capitol Lagoon, with special guests, Jaki and GeeBee (first and third from left). The Lagoon is right across Chicken Deli, the perfect location for HHWW after a sumptuous inasal feast.  

The butt of the male statue. The female statue is at the other side of the lagoon, and I heard they have a sad love story.:( I might write about that here someday once I get more information from trusted sources.;)

Nice shot, GeeBee! ikaw lang ang naka-jump!

We heart Bacolod!♥
