Spent the morning and early afternoon in Cubao to buy some stuff for the trip. This included groceries, 3G load, trekking sandals for me, and cargo shorts (?) for both of us. We packed very light so we won’t have to break our backs while enjoying the sceneries. My sister commented, “Anu ba yan, para lang kayong mag-oovernight.” Heh. That’s the magic of planning.
The pier at Manila was buzzing as usual. It’s just a tad bit more orderly than before, which isn’t really a compliment. Our ship was to depart at 7:45pm, but we only got to board the vessel around 8:45pm. Waiting while sitting on the floor for hours was a pain in the butt, literally. Another highlight of the night is that I got to eat the worst siopao of my life. The bread was so dry, and when I took a bite, it was frozen at the core. Asado never tasted so bad. Kudos, Super Ferry kiosk.
Anyway, so we’re inside SF5 now, and Celine is finishing off her siopao. We’re in a “Cabin” which thankfully has its own bathroom, and surprisingly, a bath tub. Huh. No Wi-Fi internet on board, though, but 3G reaches us just fine while still at the pier. Here’s the first of my promised speed tests, taken inside the room:
Tomorrow night, we drop by Cebu.
