This was my first ferry road trip after spending my first week in Cebu. I had been on several boats in the past traversing the Island in Thailand, so I was prepared plus almost everyone speaks English. I woke up one morning at 3 AM as adjusting to the 13-hour time difference was horrible. I packed a knapsack took a shower and I was off to the local bus station. I took a 3:30 bus, arrived at the terminal at 4:30, and bought a ticket for the 5:10 AM to Tagbilaran which was the first stop.
They transferred us all to a bus for the remaining trip.
Once I got off the bus after the ferry ride, I needed to take a 20-minute tuk tuk ride. I had been on many tuk tuks in the past in Thailand, but this was my first in The Philippines to get to Alona beach.
I was a little on edge with little sleep as might be able to tell in the video but normally feel safe.
Once I got settled in my $ 15-a-night Airbnb, it was time to check out the beach area which brings me to a long-winded hockey story.
* If you are already ready for the Edmonton Oiler blog, you might want to skip it.
** A lot of my stories are long-winded often running out of brain processor speed and switching between seven tabs in my brain telling three other stories. As the kids say IYKYK.
*** Since all of these beaches are beautiful, I often get confused as I took four different ferry trips.
Several years ago, I made a random video in Rocky Point Mexico, and it turned into our friend chat goal song during a couple of Edmonton Oiler playoff runs. Well, they created a monster as I have been trying to find the next goal song using the same guy a couple of years later.
The first video is the one that caught on during the exciting goals along with Oiler good luck charm Kait!
I even made two more renditions with the same Mexican guy for good luck, nope! They won’t even play the original as they are probably tired of me trying.
Most people would give up but, I am just annoying that way so keep trying! Here are some really talented kids from Bohol, Philippines that I recruited. Just like a new post with zero likes, nope, nope and IPA drunk nope.
Like Mi Amigo, the kids thought I was as crazy too but loved the great TIPs!
