Lakbay Norte De Mindanao: Second Day in Siargao

After spending overnight at Pesangan Hotel, I transferred to CLOUD 9 where the surfers go. Around Siargao, there are different levels of waves and at Cloud 9, it receives a moderate to high waves depending on the weather. Hopefully, I can surf this time for real.

I checked my wallet and seems I run short of cash, before I went to Cloud 9 I rushed to Dapa town to withdraw  money from an ATM but only to find out that the whole island was brownout and power supply will be back at 6pm. I had only P800 left and my room at Cloud 9 costs P500. Each way, trike drivers charge P30 and additional P30 to Cloud 9. Based on my calculations, I still have money enough to go back to Dapa the following day to withdraw money. 

THE BOARDWALK 

I transferred at THE BOARDWALK at Cloud 9. Mostly hotels around Cloud 9 are owned by foreigners with Filipina wife when I interviewed the owner, he said that he has lots of properties around the Philippines but he chosed Siargao because of his love for surfing.

 The Boardwalk’s cheapest room is P500 single room, common Toilet and Bath and they provide the best views of the waves. Meals here are from P170 to P250, a bit pricey but the food is very delicious. Try their Aussie burger at P250 and they are WIFI connected. 

What lacks The Boardwalk is a credit card feature. Good thing that when you run out of money at Cloud 9, you can go to OCEANS 101 RESORT, a 5 minute walk from the Boardwalk, it is the only resort in Cloud 9 that has credit card facilities plus they have BPI EXPRESS POS where you can withdraw money and this was the big relief for me.
