I can't say I had sleep on the ferry because a baby was crying, a host of people laughing and the rain touching my skin whilst I say on my chair. Four AM and I was half awake half on a trance as I got the bike and myself out of the boat. I can't complain after all it's been self inflicted, I had not weighed my options when making hasty decisions to get to where I ride out of the boats underbelly.
Next time breathe before you decide.
It took about the hours to get from Caticlan to iloilo and I had an hour and a half before the boat left the port. It was an easy drowsy ride. The walking hours only achieved by the coffees I consumed from bottles gotten from Seven Eleven. Sculled like the elixir of life.
A short ribs or from the security. "Fast cat, Fast car."
It's another hour before the things are being loaded but I'm quick to the mark and get the last few of the trip.
Back to it.
The road from Caticlan to Iloilo is gay and smooth for the most part so I found myself going faster and faster and the obstacles jumped over our leaped frogged. My phone pointed me where to go and I did not even think about stopping. Boat ticket purchased on the boat itself. I took the time to stand instead of air since I've been sitting for hours now.
Butt feels abused.
I ended up speaking to another rider who turned out to be an avid mountain climber and we took each other's details so next time he organises an activity with his friends I can tag along for the adventure.
As the boat docked into Bacolod we parted ways with a brief fist bump and a quick take care we parted ways. Serendipity as they are a dog trainer, attack dogs to be precise. It is now eleven in the morning and I set a goal of getting through the mountains in quick time, an hour and a half for the two hour ride through San Salvador Benedicto.
I was lucid for the most part but kind of lost energy in the last thirty kilometres of the journey. I was afraid of get into an accident but could not chance missing the three o'clock boat. I persevered with that undying energy only zombies know.
Sluggish and on the brink of collapse.
Not sure how I did it but I made it to San Carlos in one piece. An hour anda half before the ferry leaves but there is no more room in the boat... I end up getting the next one.
Fast cat.
Now I'm just here waiting for it to leave the port.
It is five pm.
