Abby the bestie wanted to go somewhere a lil bit far to travel and unwind.
I was upset so i fueled her idea. Good thing a friend's offer is still up.
Packed up at the eleventh hour and decided to sail away.
Then found out it was the right thing to do.
Left Cebu at 5.30 in the morning and reached Ormoc at 9.
There wasnt much to see in Ormoc, so we went straight ahead to Tacloban.
Took roughly 2 hrs by car.
i was literally in between Samar and Leyte
and i named that island, "coconut island" |
2. The Provincial Capitol
Well what do u expect? :)
Maybe because I havent really gone to Cebu Capitol building yet,
that's why I was too adamant for picture-taking with Leyte's.

Last stop: Sto Nino Shrine (Romualdez Mansion)
They made the first floor a chapel. Surrounded by a number of guest rooms.
With gigantic chandeliers and million-worth antiques,
I got speechless. The electricity went out on our way to the second floor.
Creepy but we were still joking.
