It was our “unofficial” batch tour that brought me to the beautiful island of Leyte. We badly needed this vacation because finally, we graduated from College!!!! ON TIME.

Batchmates!

From Cebu, we rode a boat in Pier X(I forgot the number. Sorry.) scheduled to leave around 8PM and eta is 3AM. And guess what? I wasn’t able to sleep. Because I just can’t sleep. T_T

Visayas State University in Baybay, Leyte

We arrive at dawn. We stayed inside the perimeters of Visayas State University. Yes, it’s one of the premier Universities in the Philippines and yes it’s our home for the next 3 days. Why? I really don’t know why but one of my classmates, they really have a house inside. I am amazed too.

Visayas State University
Wikipedia: “Visayas State University is the only university in the Visayas acknowledged by the Philippine Department of Tourism as a tourist destination because of its diverse flora and fauna bounding the mainland and sea from side to side.”

Agas Agas Bridge in Sogod, Southern Leyte

What to do here? Of course, the ZIPLINE on top of the tallest bridge in the Philippines. It’s my first ever Zipline experience and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Sorry for the caps and exclamation marks, it really was awesome. And yes, Agas Agas Bridge is the tallest bridge in the Philippines. Thanks to DPWH.

Ormoc City

The largest city in Leyte. Wikipedia says, “Ormoc is the economic, cultural, commercial and transportation hub of western Leyte.” We arrive at Ormoc City Hall around 9AM, visited the Vice Mayor and Mayor’s office for a courtesy call. Yes, courtesy call. I don’t know why. I mean who the hell are we? but yes. Sorry if I don’t know a lot of things. That’s normal for someone who isn’t the one who organized the trip. hahaha.

Hindang Caves and Wild Monkeys in Hindang, Leyte

 
This is my first cave experience. Stinky cave to be honest. Bat poops everywhere. But my classmates had fun spelunking. Me? I’m just observing and protecting myself from the monkeys above that might attack me anytime. haha

MacArthur Landing Memorial Park in Palo, Leyte

Of all the places we visited in Leyte, this one thrilled me the most because before I only see these huge men in my books from school, now I see them in person. That’s my standard in computing the “value” of a place I’m visiting. haha. I was really in a hurry to jump off the bus as soon as we arrived. I was so happy and amazed. They were literally huge!
