(I really wanna do a random daily summary update a trip just so I could have a memory of fresh first impressions / thoughts of a place but internet in Biliran is slow. So this is no longer that fresh like a late reaction.)
A Workmate once commented why do I always have a delayed reaction. I really did not get quite what she meant by it. But anyhow, I guess I’m kinda like that “late reaction.”
Like this trip, I know it was planned since last year but it did not really sink in to me until we’re really going there. Somehow, it’s always like that. So I always like crammed up on things to do the day before a trip.
On this trip, I was still making my “swimwear” on the trip. Surprisingly, I hate being on a slow boat. But this time, I was happy to be on the slow boat as it gives me time to crochet my “beach wear.”



We took the slow boat, Super Shuttle RORO (roll on roll off), in Polambato, Bogo for Palompon, Leyte. 
That was my first time to Leyte. It deserved a hot bingka freshly baked on the streetside somewhere up north of Cebu. 🙂

We landed in Palompon, Leyte afternoon. As being my first landing, it deserved some food fest celebration.
We loaded on some caffeine before proceeding to Biliran, which I think took around 2-3 hours.
We went to Cafe Umberto which was probably the only cafe in Palompon Leyte that serves brewed coffee, where the staff were trying to be extra nice by pouring more water to your coffee so that either they want to save you from the bitter taste or they like the idea of serving you with a cupful of coffee.


And twinning, our official first day of trip shirt. 🙂
Leyte from the car window looks so green; that laid back kind of green.

Hitch-hiking like this.
