SUBSCRIBELong drive
9 hours on the road, driving to Bicol (Naga City) from Manila, a first time for me to continuously drive that long that I was really really very tired when we arrived at the hotel. Bicol. Have not been back here for quite a number of years now. The first time that I passed by this route was when me and Ian, a college classmate went to his homeplace in Ormoc, Leyte via this route more than 10 years ago. That trip took us around 34 hours instead of the usual 27 since the bus encountered an engine failure somewhere in Atimonan. The second time was when I did a Cebu - Samar - Bicol (Sorsogon & Legazpi) - Samar - Cebu trip when I was still based in Cebu.
Well, I actually don’t have any recollection of Naga City. Been sleeping during the bus travel when I passed here. Tomorrow, my team will be conducting a cascade/discussion with our local counterpart here before proceeding to Legazpi for another cascade, Wednseday.
