Since I am in tacloban city, might as well explore the next province north, very accessible because of the famous san juanico bridge.

with just a jeep, you can reach the town proper of basey

i chose to rent a habal-habal to reach my destination since i need to be back in tacloban for my flight back to manila in the evening of the same day

since may time pa ako, proceed to the natural bridge thru kayaking . . .

worth the quick visit . . .
