The last province left to visit in Luzon was Masbate and it was good thing I passed by Ticao Island.
Come and let us explore Ticao Island!

| at the top of the boat ride from Masbate, Masbate to Ticao Island |
From Masbate, the boat ride to Ticao Island is good for 1.5 - 2 hours
and the fare is P120.00
Once you reach the port of San Jacinto, the next problem is accommodation.
But that is not actually a problem there are 4-5 lodging inns in Ticao Island at affordable prices.
After going to Gabbi's Lodging Inn, I decided to spend the night at Ticao Lodging Inn for P800.00 only.
They also have another room worth P750.00.
But the best spot is the Gabbi's (Ruel - 0907-1110-0660!
There was a wedding reception at Gabbi's and there was no room available. And that was the only reason why I did not choose Ticao Lodging Inn.
The following morning, I hired Mr. Roland (0919-977-7642) to be my habal-habal ride for P350.00 in Ticao Island for 4 destinations.
It was a bright and pleasant morning. But unfortunately the road to Catandayagan falls was rugged, slippery, muddy and treacherous.
But over-all, I enjoyed the trip!
Habal-habal ride (single motorcycle) being my favorite ride.

We had to cross 4 bridges that day.
And the right side picture is an example of their bridge. The bridge was built using bamboos and wood.
It was shaking and dilapidated when we were crossing it.
Another piece of adventure in Ticao Island!
