the nightmare trip.....no to RORO!!!
This year we decided to go to Boracay to have our summer vacation. But because we are all on a short budget, we opt to try traveling to bora by land. Meaning, traveling to Bora through bus and roro. If you want to travel by land, there are lots of buses in the Metro. Few of the buses are Philtranco, Dimple Star, Ceres (Bachelor Express) and Alps (please do not opt to be on the Ceres or Alps buses (more on that later) We decided to ride Ceres (Bachelor express) bus going to Caticlan Jetty Port. We paid 1050 (all-in -- including terminal fee for the Batangas Port). Day 1 Travel back (April 8, 2009 -- Wednesday) 7:00 AM - wake up time and prepare to leave home for Bora 8:30 AM - traveled from Makati going to Pasay (where the Ceres Bus is located) 9:30 AM - SUPPOSEDLY the bus should leave this time going to Batangas Port. -- but guess what, the bus left Pasay around 12PM!!!! What a SYSTEM they have! telling all passengers that we have to be there at 9:00 AM because the bus will leave at
