Matnog to Allen

It takes just an hour and a half for the barge to get to Allen from Matnog. It's getting the documents approved and waiting to embark that could take forever!

It was our second time to attempt to take the ro-ro (as we call it) as we continue our drive to Visayas. The first one was botched, after finding out that we were going to wait one day at the port. It was also that time we realized it was not a good thing to do this during long weekends.

The second time, we went on a regular day and processing the needed documents and paying the fees were a breeze. We got to the port just when they were about to start loading the barge for the next trip. It had already been fully booked, so we had to wait for the next ship to arrive in three hours. We should have just skipped breakfast in Legazpi and left for the port earlier.

We finally left Matnog at 3:00 pm, and arrived 4:30 in Allen.
