The Day After the Challenge

SLEEP ALL DAY

I just woke up. I think this is the 5th time I woke up this day.

1st- inside Montenegro Lines Office at Roxas Pier, Oriental Mindoro (1:50am)

2nd- inside the truck full of cows and goats where I hitchhiked (3:45am)

3rd- inside the truck again (6:00am), nearing Calapan City Port

4th- inside the ship (10:05am), nearing Batangas City Port

5th- my Aunt's house in Lipa City where I headed before going back to Laguna (5:30pm)

REST and EAT

I'm so tired "kapoy"! What I want to do is just sleep all day. Not that I wasn't able to sleep during the backpacking challenge. I got lots of sleep actually in different places- mountains, beach fronts, beach, bahay-kubo, comfortable beds, etc.

 In one of my hotels: The Woods Hotel, Somewhere in Negros Occidental

I think my body just missed the comfort of a real home. I'm here in what I consider my 2nd home, and as much as I want to go back to Laguna today, I think I will just go home tomorrow. What I really want now is to sleep and eat.

MASSAGE

One thing more, I want to have a full-body massage from the feet up. Friends recommend Wensha. I love too go there but that's in Manila, I think I will just visit the spa lounge near our house in Los Banos.

TOTAL EXPENSES?

I still haven't computed my total expenses. All I know is that I only got (*checking my coin purse*) PhP24 in my pocket. I brought in less than PhP4,000.00 when I boarded the plane to Silay-Bacolod Airport 14 days ago. I also left my credit cards and ATM card in the house so there will be no plan B. Anyway, I have the rest of the week to compute that.

 My boarding pass (when I arrived at T2, the checking-in counter was already closed.) 

Good thing, someone still allowed me to board the plane. I don't have a check-in baggage so that made it was easier.

As of now, I just want to eat, sleep and find time to write my stories, upload some photos and catch up with online friends.

Thanks for being with me in this journey. Let me thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

Thank God I'm safe and I don't have a disease or anything.

Oh, before I forgot, please visit back for the stories in the following days. I hope you can mention and share this to your friends or people you know who loves adventure, travel or backpacking. Thanks again!
