I need to do this. Not only for you, but also for me - a review and summary of the myriad of places and things (even people) I have seen, encountered, done, not done, heard, etc.!
Including Tacloban, on this trip I visited or just passed by 43 localities in one big island.
That's 39 towns and 4 cities in 2 provinces (3 cities and 25 towns in the province of Leyte; 1 city and 14 towns in the province of Southern Leyte).
My driver says that was about 550kms from departure at, until arrival back in Tacloban.
Tacloban => Palo => Tanauan => Tolosa => Dulag => Julita => Burauen => La Paz => Mayorga => MacArthur => Javier => Abuyog => Silago => Hinunangan => Hinundayan => Anahawan => San Juan => Saint Bernard => Liloan => Libagon => Sogod => Bontoc => Tomas Oppus => Malitbog => Padre Burgos => Macrohon => Maasin => Matalom => Bato => Hilongos => Hindang => Inopacan => Baybay => Albuera => Ormoc => Kananga => Capoocan => Carigara => Barugo => Tunga => Jaro => Alangalang => Sta Fe => back at Palo => back at Tacloban
But I only have 40 stories including this one. Look at that route again. The ones in bold font are those that I have stories about in this blog. Don't worry, I will surely have stories about those other towns or cities, soon!
Anyway, here are some things worth remembering..,
- Avoid the rainy season - nakakainis, sagabal sa photo-ops!
- Roads are generally good. Not anymore an issue.
- If you are commuting between towns, sit on the side of the sea - for the views!
- If you are driving, umayos ka, focus on the road hahaha!
- If all you have is a phone camera, bring a powerbank
- Pictures of the sea is better in the afternoon on the east side (via Silago)
- Ample resort accommodations especially in Padre Burgos
- 2days 1night is not enough to roam Southern Leyte. Give it more time!
