Romblon 2016 . Day 2


Woke up at 4am, ate breakfast and we are on our way to Odiongan Market for us to get to Sta. Fe where we will ride a boat for 1 hour to Carabao Island. Unfortunately the jeep to Sta. Fe will leave at 9am and we were there at 6am already. The jeepney driver taught us that we can ride his jeep bound to Looc then from there we can transfer to a jeep to Sta. Fe. There's another option, hire a motorcycle to go straight to Sta. Fe but since we are 5 it will to expensive like it's 500 per ride or per head (I wasn't able to clear that but it's a bit pricey but rest assured that you'll get there fast)


We were just right on time that we were able to ride the only trip to Sta. Fe and it went around the market where some of the residents who bought whole sale chips, fruits and vegetables boarded on the mini bus. It was an educational trip to experience and appreciate their lifestyle compare to the people who are in the metro. Everything in there was on schedule and there's just like few trip from one point to another. 

And it's a perfect day, we were just right in time for the another only trip to Carabao island for 100PHP. I was amazed (first timer alert! Haha because even motorcycle are being boarded on boats to be transferred from one island to another. Motorcycle is the main transportation in Romblon. Seems like everyone in the island have). It took us 1 hour to get there and it was a beautiful day. 

We get there before 11am and it was so freaking hot. We were offered an island trip to Kuding-kuding but they are offering us 700PHP ($17) and that's pricey according to Gem and I agree. 

We ate lunch at the eatery nearby and then we rested until the afternoon. Well mostly we just enjoy the good reception and WiFi because we don't have good signal ever since we left Batangas Port on Sunday morning. 



we were joking that we are the tourist of the week since it feels like there's no other tourist than ourselves. Haha. 

We went out like 3pm to take pictures and decided to swim by 5pm. The sun sets on the other side of the island so it's like a sunrise on the afternoon. We left the beach before dark and we decided to eat dinner at BB Bar and Cafe. We ate too much fats. Lol 


The electricity at Carabao island have a schedule and it's 1pm-11pm and 4am-6am.
