Cagayan de Oro-Davao

Destination: Davao
Date: May 20, 2010

From LimKetKai, we boarded a taxi to the bus terminal. Unfortunately, the 9PM airconditioned bus left already because it was already full. So we waited a couple of hours more for the 11PM bus.

We fell in line but when the bus arrived, the line was no longer followed and many people who came later than us were able to board the bus. We were the last ones who boarded the bus who were still able to grab some seats. :-| It was really unorderly. Good thing good samaritans exist like this lady who placed a bag on the seat beside her to let the others assume that there was someone sitting on it. When I passed by her, she offered it to me. :D There was also a nun who offered the seat beside her to my friend.

I told the driver and bus conductor n times that our stop is the market in Mintal. They mistook it for Matina so we ended up stopping in the bus terminal instead. We arrived a little before 6AM. The trip costs PhP550 for regular passengers and PhP440 for students like me. :D

Our phones were all battery empty so we crossed the street and asked if we could recharge. The boy charged PhP10 but since we stayed for only 15-30 minutes, he charged us PhP5 for the camera charger and cellphone charger. Good boy. :)

We boarded a taxi to Matina Town Square and should have eaten at TAPS but it was close before 7AM so we ate at nearby McDonald's, which is open around the clock. We went back to Matina Town Square and withdrew some cash from the BPI ATMachine.

  1. Good thing that you were able to take a seat. Otherwise, you could have been standing all throughout your the trip. That is so tiring especially it's evening. I've experienced that before. That was frustrating. Wew!
