This Is How I Die: Holy Week Vacation

Two months ago I planned to take a long vacation/leave during the holy week season yet didn't have any idea what to do and where to go. A month after, I got an illness and I badly needed to take a rest that made me decide to use my 1 week leave for it. To make the long story short, we spent my vacation in the northern part of Mindanao, in the city of "The Golden Friendship."

It was an 11th hour booking so we couldn't avail the usual Cebu Pacific airline ticket promo, plus it's a super high peak season so we gave up on flying and decided to just enjoy our 12-hour stay on the ship. Woah! 12 hours??? Yes! No joke! You have to sail for quite a long time when you travel to Cagayan de Oro from Cebu city. We used the Trans Asia Shipping Lines for Php880.00 for economy but in our case, I chose the Php1,200 for the tourist accommodation. For those who want to use this shipping line, their schedule is daily but they only have 1 trip a day every 8 o'clock in the evening. Not a bad experience. It was cozy for me and could sleep deeply.

I could only take photos for the economy accommodation. For the tourist one, berths are the same but they seem like in the room with a narrow aisle and you cannot feel awkward to the strangers near you because they put a thick curtain to cover your berth whenever you want a privacy, plus you have your own light bulb inside and an electrical outlet so you can charge your gadget whenever you want to

Here's the beautiful sunrise welcomed us! Time check? It was 5:15AM when we saw it. Fantastic!

We arrived in Rich Manor Penshion House at exactly 8:30 in the morning. Since it was too early for us to check-in, we decided to eat first our breakfast in their cafeteria and luckily, this hotel offers free unlimited coffee to their guests anytime we want.

I'm a coffeeholic person so this was heaven for me! haha :D

After an hour of eating, we were able to check-in, relax for a while, take a shower and lakwatsa! hahaha!!! We stayed in Mindanao for 5 days and let me share to you guys those fantastic nature that we've visited. Please visit my other blog for the detail of those tourist attraction.
