Day 20

Woke up at 4 am and the bus to Baguio left promptly at 5 am. The fog was thick. We got to Baguio around 11:45 and walked to the bus terminal going to Manila. It took about half an hour and this reminded to really travel even more lightly. I carry a backpack with just my belongings and Ole had his stuff in his backpack and was carrying 2 laptops in another backpack which we usually use as a day pack. The fact that we had that 7-hour walk yesterday just added to our fatigue. And this is just a quarter of the way to Legaspi City in the Bicol region down south of Luzon Island.

The fog was still thick from Baguio to the foot of the mountains. It was also raining heavily with one section being repaired because of a landslide which happened several days or weeks ago. I did thank the driver for bringing us all down safely. We got to Manila around 7:30 pm. Luckily the bus terminal going to Legaspi was just across the street. The bus finally started moving around 9:30 pm for the 10 hour ride. They really packed the bus! It was a long, long day and a long, long night!
