Coming Home


I was planning on taking pictures of our island's coast from the ferry on our way home, but the weather was not permitting and my wife an I slept through the whole ferry ride. That is for the fact that we didn't get enough sleep as we have to brave taking a regular non-airconditioned bus. There was no other choice for us as it was a very last minute decision for us to come home. Tickets get sold out weeks even months in advance. The bus stopped four times to fix the gears as it failed, but the main disappointment was the uncomfortable seats that we had to bear throughout the whole 12-hour journey, which should have taken only 8-10 hours. That and the fact that we have to go through the perpetually in repair South Superhighway. We almost did not make it to the last ferry out, as we were informed trips to the capital town Virac were on hold for the meantime. On the ferry, I had to go to the bathroom once and was able to chance upon the opportunity to take the picture above. We made it home safe later and hoped the weather will clear up in the few days we're home to be able to go a beach.
