I was in Bagasbas for a day. Not bad considering that for Php 500, I get to get a shirt, slippers, some discount cards, and an hour of surf clinic.
There are other activities as marketed in the poster, but all I got were the ones I mentioned.
And guess what? My instructor told me I was good in surfing. Hooray! That. Was. Euphoric. Teehee..
Anyway, it was a short notice invitation. And thus, we were not prepared. We went to Cubao to get bus tickets the night we were off to Daet. Attempt 1. Fail. Mike was there first. And apparently, there's no trip to Daet that side of town. So off we went to Superlines along EDSA, southbound, just beside Victory Liner.
(Attempt 2) Only to find out, we were out of tickets.
Then we returned at the Central Bus Station just beside Shopwise and Ali Mall. (Attempt 3) Which again ended in epic fail. We then went to Piltranco (Attempt 4), EDSA southbound, just across Farmer's Mall. And we waited. Waited still. Waited a bit more. And hooray! Chance passengers, you can be accommodated.
The trip costs Php 550.
We arrived in Daet 7am the following day. Breakfast at Jollibee. And off we went to Bagasbas! Funny how I thought we need to ride another van going to Bagasbas. We just needed to rent a trike, which is Php 40.
Afterwards, we checked in at Surfer's Dine Inn, where we were billeted our previous stay.
Surfers’ Dine Inn (0916) 4759053
Dorm Bed costs Php 500@.
We played Frisbee for a while. A while - because I was semi conscious after a coupla rounds of tossing and catching. I needed to catch my breath. Haha.
We registered at the booth, for an hour of playing the waves. Heee... It makes me giddy thinking I could paddle and at the same time stand up on the board. ;)
That night was reggae party. I saw some familiar faces, albeit they wouldn't know me. Haha.
The next morning, we went back to Manila. Bus tickets at Superlines were only Php 430. I think this rate was discounted.
Until our next swell fest, folks!
