Roxas City with College Kids

Last week, Col and Tintin invited us to come along with them to Roxas City. Tintin is making a project/thesis with 5 of her classmates and she asked us to come if we wanted to. Being kaladkarin people, we decided to accept the invitation. After all, its an all expenses paid trip. Well, not really as we still have to pay for our fare from Iloilo to Roxas and vice versa but upon arrival, everything else depended on Niel’s deep pocket.

We met up with Tintin and 5 ofher classmates at the Tagbak terminal. After an hour or so, we arrived at Roxas City. We got off at some sort of a bus/jeep station away from the city and Neil took it from there.

He had a car waiting for us. The college kids are inside, Tintin drove the car and the freeloaders (me, Tin, Eden, Arthur and Colcol are at the back of the pick up.

We went straight to the Pan-ay Church with its renowned bell. We went up to the bell tower with the help of the “guide”.
After the church, we had our lunch( paid for by Neil) at the seaside restaurant. The menu of our lunch was SEAFOOD OVERLOAD!

Our original plan was to head to Olutayan Island but one of the college kids had an allergy so we went to Gaisano to buy meds and food for the island. We went to the reclamation area sort of Baranggay to meet up with the boatman who will take us to the island but since it was already late in th afternoon and it was raining, they decided to head to the nearest beach instead.
Before that we went to a port where the boatmen had to buy fuel for their boat and headed to the beach. So much for the Olutayan Island trip.

When we got to the beach, there were lots of people and I was sort of disappointed because Manong Boatman told me that the sand was white but it wasn’t. Well, not really because its a combination of both white and black sand.

After picture taking and peeing on the beach, we went back to the reclamation area type of Baranggay. Changed into dry clothes and headed straight to the van terminal that will take us back to Iloilo.

At around 8 pm, we were back at the Tagbak terminal.
