leyte: day 1

Day 1 @ Leyte : Sabin Hotel Resort
Maundy Thursday
March 20-23, 2008

This is my first Holy Week to be away from home. While my brother is enjoying his time in Camiguin, Cagayan & Bukidnon, I spent mine in Leyte & Biliran with his colleagues. It was a bit awkward at first, since I didn't really know "know" the people I'll be going with since it was a colleague who somewhat forced *ehem* sold the idea to me. But sooner than I thought, I was able to relate with them.

Fare from Cebu (Pier 1) to Ormoc, Leyte Pier – 450 Php
Departed at around 11am and arrived at 4:30pm
Travel Time: 5 hours 30 minutes

Anyway, this is the first leg of the event, we went to Ormoc and ate at Sabin Hotel Resort, courtesy of Kimy's pop. Free food is always the best! hehe

  1. Hi Ed,
    I hope its not too late for you to visit Tacloban City 😉 puhon.    (knowing the fact you're already in outer space) haha! kiddin aside. I wanted to see you capturing Gen.Douglas McArthur in Palo, Leyte its just few kms away from the city. San Juanico Bridge should also be one of the highlights 🙂 There is also Sto.Niño shrine which properties of marcoses reigns..i knw you dont want history but rest assured you'll love the place.  Those are just some of the attractions in there. and uhh you wont forget sweetness of binagol. have you tried that? a popular delicacy in Leyte. Im looking forward for that blog featuring all those. haha! mind you Kalanggaman and Canigao Islands are popular too! You should visit the place. Yes! im promoting tourism and at the same i want you to experience it there also 🙂 tsk! ;p
    Have a safe journey Ed.
