CDO-TACLOBAN-SAMAR ride!!!!!
2:50am STAR MART GUSA CDO we left @ exactly 3am
We arrived at Gingoog City around 4am and had to wait for few minutes for the gas station to open.
5:05am GAS UP @ SHELL GINGOOG
headed straight to butuan.. another gas up at Butuan City
6:25am GAS UP @ SHELL BUTUAN
after butuan we stopped over at Kitcharao for a few minute rest,
7:27am STOP OVER @ KITCHARAO(on the way to SURIGAO)
Finally we arrived at lipata terminal in Surigao City, this is where you get on the RORO from Surigao to Souther Leyte,
9:10am ARRIVAL @ LIPATA TERMINAL(Surigao City)
sad to say our informant was wrong, we were way to fast or yet in a hurry for a 9am trip and no 9am trip for Surigao to leyte, so we had to stay for a few hours, we have to wait until 2:30pm for the next RORO so we head down town Surigao or should I say Surigao Market to get a taste of the Sea Foods there. took a couple of pics in a bridge near the market, nice view...
after a couple of pictures we head back to the port, and just around 2:30pm arriving at the peir.. here she comes!
now she opens wide.. lets ride!
its a 3hour RORO ride to Southern Leyte from Surigao! the RORO left around 3pm, 5:30pm we are almost at southern leyte!
We got off the RORO around 6pm, had Dinner on a Carenderia near the peir, no pics were taken for we are in a hurry we really had to stick to plan and was running short of time, after dinner we head straight to Tacloban City we left Southern Leyte at 6:30pm, Sad to say we got lost about 30kms from the planned route, so we had to go back and was almost 8pm, places like this doesnt have 24hours gas station almost all of their gas station close by 8pm, so we had to buy plastic bottles and fill it up with gas, we knew 1 full tank would not reach Tacloban, just incase we get lost again. finally we were on the right track on our way to Tacloban Via Mahaplag where they say its a place where most motorcycle riders get stick ups or bike napped during night times, the road condition in mahaplag was not that good and speeding was not a good idea but due to the pressure and possible risk in the area we had to speed up then bad luck strikes! 1 bike wasnt able to get away from a deep pot hole in the right lane, tubeless tire got torn so we had to stop and install tubes in it.. it was almost 10pm no lights on the road side, we only had the headlights of our bikes good thing we fixed the problem! finally arriving at Tacloban City and found a Pension House it was Clean and Well maintaned, checked in a sleeping time!
day 2 of our ride! woke up early took a bath then check our bikes!
took a pic just outside the reception area in Rosevenil Pensione cause were on our way to Mcarthur Shrine!
Finally at Mcarthur Shrine! yehey!
with our bikes, behind us is the Shrine
we had lunch at a small carenderia near McArthur Shrine, Good Local Food baby!
relaxed for a few minutes and again hit the road and head on to leyte via the famous SAN JUANICO bridge! longest bridge? nice!
a pic of our bikes just before going over the bridge for the very first time!
still cant beleive that our bikes reached Samar!
after crossing San Juanico Bridge we head to Southern Samar for a rest or should I say dip on the Pacific waters! a stop over after few kilometers of non stop winding roads! enjoyed the twisties of Samar!
arriving at a beach in Southern Samar! open sea I guess!
after the beach we returned back to Tacloban, slept and got ready for the next day!
day3 of the ride home going!
day3 of the ride! a meet up with a online friend, he took us to some of Tacloban's City Land Marks.
after few pics and a very nice lunch, checked our bikes before leaving Tacloban City and its about 3pm, we left Tacloban City at exactly 3pm
We arrived at southern Leyte around 7pm and head dinner at the peir, board the RORO around 8pm and reached Surigao City around 12midnight here a picture of our bike aboard the RORO
1am at Surigao City Gas station, the Group decided to Push thru despite the Weather condition, it was raining at Surigao City, and 1am with rain will be very cold on the road, but hey we wore our rain coats and pushed thru as what the group decided.
again bad luck strike 1 bike got puncture along the way, tire got flat 3am in kitcharao so again we have to fix it, pretty tired cause we are almost 24hours on the raod, tire got fix around 4am and head straight to Butuan City, arrived at Butuan City for gas and had 6am breakfast at jollibee.
no more pics were taken, everyone was too tired to pull out their cameras and took pic. we arrived at Cagayan de Oro City at 11:45am... what a ride!
