Adventure Trip...!
So we left Boracay's wonderful beaches on Monday morning, and after 4 hours boad ride we arrived on Mondoro Island, in Roxas. We went in to the city to find a hotel, and after half an hour we realised everything was really dirty and not at all what we expected. Well, our hotel was really cheap, but it I promise, if any of our parents would have called us in that moment, we would have start crying.. We felt so lost and our hotel rooms were more like the prison cells; supersmall with 1 thin twinbed in each room, and it was dirty and everything was kind of broken.. But after a while, we were just laughing about the whole situation. What on earth were we doing in this city anyway?! We knowed nothing about the city itself, just that we had to pass and get one nights sleep before we're continued our trip in the Philippines. So happy and sad at the same time, we went out for dinner and then had a movienight under the mopsquito net. I was so glad to have the other gils with me, nothing could ever stop the 4 of us!
The next morning we went up at 5am, cooked some oatmeal for breakfast over a small fireplace, and then catched a bus to San Jose. It was a trip we will never forget. It was fun for the first hour, to see all the small villages and the countryside of Philippines, but the last 3 hours was just shaking.. the buss (if you even can call it that..) (with people sitting both inside and on the roof, and with several chickens(!) inside), was driving on a small road full with stones and sometimes we thought the bus would fell over.. but now when it's in the past, it's another memory we can laugh about..!
Here in San Jose, we quickly found a hotelroom and then went out to explore the city. It's really nothing to do here, so we just walked around in the small shops and are planning to go out to an island tomorrow.
So the first 2 days on our backpackingtrip in the Philippines haven't really been what we expected. It's really interesting to see a different side of the world, this undeveloped, dirty and poor but sometimes friendly, and really beutiful country. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day than today and yesterday.
Most important of all: Check out the pictures on facebook!
