I’ve never been to a pottery shop before until my Cagayan de Oro trip. It was a great experience trying how to make my personalized mug. The pottery made by the people themselves really looked great. I bought my tea set just for fun. People who go to Cagayan de Oro wouldn’t miss buying b…

It was just in the airport, on the day of our flight, when I realized that my itinerary was so inviting that I have actually organized a big group. I was traveling with 11 other people (7 workmates and 4 other friends)! Awesome! It's always the more, the merrier! Not until we realized it can also c…

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Julia (Russia) We arrived into Cagayan de Oro at 5.30pm, pretty exhausted and frustrated, but hopeful of catching the 7pm ferry to Bohol. We were told that we could get on the 10 hour ferry journey, but there were no beds left and no seat…

  Flight to CDO as scheduled will depart at 1530hrs via Cebupacific.  Fingers crossed -  I am really praying that no such delay will occur for my first flight to Manila from Palawan. Otherwise I will definitely ruin the whole plan.  I left Malampaya, Palawan at 1030hr…

cagayan de or o city - my first destination to the mindanao islands. the city proved true to its nickname of "the city of golden friendship" with the people being so friendly and accommodating to tourists like our group. this trip would not have been complete without the white water rafting. simply exhilarating!

at last we are set to go hoe.. don't wanna leave a beautiful place but can't wait to be in my own bed too. pickled!

We awoke the next morning nice and early to get ready to leave by 5:30am to get to the airport.  We checked out of the hotel and met our driver. He alerted us to the fact that the first morning flight was cancelled due to weather conditions and it's doubtful that this extra flight we were tryi…
