We arrived Matnog tired and hungry, so we decided to take a bite from the local carenderias that abound in a place such as a seaport. We throw all cautions and beliefs about some people putting dreadful and deadly potions in foods intended for "to whom it may concern" or whomever is harmed. If you are hungry like ourselves, we can just God to protect us from the dangers of such moronic beliefs.
After a while we proceeded to the waiting lounge provided by the Philippine Port Authority, Matnog, Sorsogon. Tired as we are, we reclined and stretched our tired bodies in the plastic chairs made available to passengers waiting for a ride on board various ferry boats that shuttle across the San Bernardino Strait between the islands of Luzon and Visayas.
Around 12 o'clock we were called to embark on the first boat assigned to transport roll-on roll-off vehicles and people across the strait. Two hours later, we arrived safely to the other end, after which we again rode our assigned bus to prepare for our long trip home.
Early morning, we sighted the best landmark that divides the islands of Samar and Leyte, the San Juanico Bridge, the longest bridge during its time. But before continuing our trip we stopped by a roadside cafe and restaurant to again put something in our empty stomach and be recharged for a half day trip back home.
Since, the scene are quite familiar already, I decided to take a nap while the vehicle we are riding is traversing the long and winding road going to our place. It did not take long for me to sleep soundly, even though from time to time my head bumps a thing or two that wakes me up and look where we are already.
Finally we arrived home, looking tired but happy upon seeing the love ones waiting for us (they know since from to time they kept calling us through the cell phone where we are). After the usual greetings and kissings, and giving of pasalubongs, we stretched our tire bodies in the bed familiar to us day and night, in our own bedroom.
