180 degrees shift in traveling - From being
a trip planner to a hasty wanderer.
In terms of travel personality, I am the
type of traveler with the usual ready itinerary, advance bookings and complete
travel stuff. Sometimes, it is good to deviate a little from this routine
and just go on with the flow.
Cotivas Island
With rough information on how to go to
Caramoan (by reading other travel blogs), we were crossing our fingers that we
would be able to reach Caramoan without any bus booking or advanced purchased
bus ticket at all, considering that this is in Bicol region. Yes, we were
taking our chances for this trip since airlines are really costly if bookings
are within the week of travel. Fortunately, our positivity paid off. For backpackers, Philtranco can be tried being the safe and oldest bus company to exist in the Philippines. They have routes
all over Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao with bus terminal in Pasay, Manila. In
this trip, we are chance passengers on the way to Naga with overnight travel
time of around 9 hours.
