This is the last post for the The Journey to My Family’s Roots Travel Series. I wish I could stay longer in the cold morning air that Baybay,Leyte has to offer. Since reality bites and I miss the strong reliable Globe signal, I had to go back to Cebu.
Remember the impulsive ticket buying I did at the last post? I am here for thrill of a ride! After securing tickets for Cebu, I decided to just dash and run when I get home. After Te Bebeng bought enough supplies for dinner, we took a small multicab and headed back to out transient home. After arriving, I decided to gather the little things I have: the big white bag, my trusty grey hoddie, a bottle of water and some biscuits my cousin prepared for me.
I bid farewell to cousins and aunts and paid my respects to my grandfather. Cherry accompanied me outside while we waited for the last bus to pass by. After a few minutes of waiting and hoping against all hope that I would make it, the bus finally came!

| Cruising past BayBay, Leyte. |
You know you are near the city proper when you see the Rose Bakeshop that brags about it’s free Wifi access! 😛
The bus took me to the terminal which was only a few meters to the pier and to nearby fastfood chains. I took a quick stop at Jollibee and grabbed a few tummy filling items to last me the whole night. The journey back to Cebu is approximately about 8 hours, so I might as well get as much food than buying off the vessel’s overpriced menu.
Walked out with a Palabok Meal, Tuna Pie and a Large Sprite with no ice and headed to Port of Baybay.
After a half sprint half skipping travel by foot, I made it just in time.

So after I freshen up at the cabin comfort room with shower heads, I decided to eat my dinner and watched TV. I waited for the Sandman to give me sweet dreams and boy was he fast! I fell asleep and the moment I woke up, I was at Cebu already! I felt rejuvenated and well-rested. It was a great way to revive my energy and was a peaceful voyage.

| Welcome back to Sugbo! 🙂 |
I arrived in Cebu at about 4:45AM. Hailed a cab and paid for almost Php150 ride from Pier 2 to Lapu-Lapu. Decided to sleep again at the comforts of my own bed. 🙂
