Chillin' at the Boardwalk

Day 3
June 15, 2015
Siargao

The next day, our flight back to Cebu got delayed for more than a few hours, which got us worried since we had another flight to catch to get us to Siargao. Fortunately, we were informed that the plane we were using to get to Cebu would be the same one to bring us to Siargao. Problem solved.

We arrived in Siargao at 2 in the afternoon and rode one of the many vans stationed outside the aiport. All the vans were filled up quite quickly - I was not sure if there were enough vans for everyone from the flight. Cost was 200 PHP per passenger and it took an hour to get to the resorts near the famous Cloud 9.

We got really excited when we finally saw Ocean 101 resort where we stayed for the next 3 nights. The resort was really good-looking and there were a lot of open areas where one can relax and enjoy the view. The location was also perfect - a quick stroll would get you to the boardwalk at Cloud 9. However, our excitement was cut short once we saw the cheap room we booked (2,300 PHP per night for 3 persons) - it felt like it was neglected or forgotten - the bed had bugs on it and the wardrobe was worn-out.






Since it was already late in the afternoon, we decided to just relax for the rest of the day. We went to the boardwalk to watch the surfers and wait for the sunset.






Later that night, we ate at a nearby restaurant - Kawayan Siargo resort resto bar. The restaurant had a nice ambiance, which matched the very pricey food - Seafood Pasta cost 390 PHP and was only good for 1 person. It tasted good though and the presentation was exquisite.
