Baggage stores are a wonderful thing. The first thing that I did at Limketkai Mall was to drop off my bags so that my hands would be free for shopping. I needed to get insect repellant and a flashlight as I’d forgotten mine. I also wanted to buy some souvenirs for friends and family. I was tempted to get a pedicure and manicure but decided that I didn’t have the time.
A taxi from Limketkai dropped me at D&C Express bus stand. I asked where the AC buses were but was told that the next one was in just under an hour. In hindsight, the driver of the bus could have been lying since he wanted me to get on his bus. In any case, I took D&C Express for the 2.25 hour trip to the Belingoan Bus Station. I was ripped off by the bicycle taxi who charged me 2 pesos for a 5 minute ride to the port.
I bought a ticket for the 3:30 Krakanow ferry which took just over an hour to Benoni. From Benoni, I got a jeepney to Mambahao and got off at a junction, about a 10 minute walk to Enigmata. I was befriended by a local girl. I think that she wanted to be my matchmaker as one of the first questions she asked me was whether I had a boyfriend.
