Nick spoke at our church Sunday morning, and we left almost immediately afterwards to take a one hour boat ride to Ilo Ilo.
Our destination was Romblon, an isolated island that would require multiple methods of travel and a hardy investment of our time.
After the one hour boat ride we endured a five hour van ride and spent the night in Cataclan. The next morning we boarded a boat for a three hour boat ride to the island of Looc.
Upon arrival in Looc we took a short trike ride to our jeepney. We spent close to three hours crammed in the jeepney on our way to San Angustin.
On the way to San Angustin we tried to formulate our extract plans for Romblon. Travels to remote areas are sketchy as best. We were told there was a flight leaving Tuesday (which would have required four hours travel to get to), and then we were told there was no flight Tuesday.
We were then told there was a ship leaving Wednesday, only to find out later that it left Tuesday.
We pressed on to Romblon.
After the jeepney ride we had to rent a pump boat for the last leg of the trip … a one and a half hour boat ride into Romblon.
