I left the resort earlier than
their check out time since I pretty much enjoyed almost everything that the
resort has to offer.
I rushed to reach the opening where
the mini cabs/multicabs pass by going back to the city because I wanted to see
MonteCueva Asuncion de
la Virgen Shrine before
going back to Tacloban and the fear of having difficulty taking a
ride back to the city. Luckily just before I reached the road I was able to
take a ride at once! Lucky me huh?!lol
Upon reaching the city I decided
to go to MonteCueva
Asuncion de la Virgen Shrine. It is a small cave with a quaint chapel inside. Basically this is for pilgrims and devotees but
this has become one of Maasin’s popular tourist’s destinations too and I just
have to see it before going home!
NOTE: MonteCueva Asuncion de la Virgen Shrine is
located up in the hills of Brgy. Rizal. One can go there by riding a
habal-habal/tricycle fare is Php15.00. Just tell the driver that you are going
to Monte Cueva. From the opening one will have to do some walking and climbing
to reach the shrine.
Reaching the top was very much fulfilling.
The view was rewarding.
Going down was definitely much easier!
I went back to the city to have some
lunch since all my stored fats was already burned out from the laborious climb.
I took my lunch in Jollibee since I was hungry to death and I don’t have the
luxury to tour and look for a local restaurant. After finishing my lunch I decided to try the
coffee shop I spotted over my tour the first day.
Ganda’s Aroma Coffee Shop is the only
coffe shop I spotted on the area that offers real quality coffee. The coffee shop
is located at Tomas Oppus street, Mantahan, Maasin City. From brewed coffee, coffee with or without milk
to iced and frappes is being offered here in this tiny yet very cozy and inviting coffee shop.
I
was able to chat with the owner/barista. She said it all started as a hobby,
occasionally serving coffee to friends over some chit-chat until it has been
push to becoming a business. Why not right? An income generating hobby can be
so much fun!
I
forgot the name of this coffee I tried but it was one of her specialty. What I just
can remember is it tasted so well! The chocolate cake though was just too dense
for my taste. I like my cakes to be on the slightly fluffy side.
After
satisfying my sweet tooth I decided that it’s time for me to go back to
Tacloban and face reality.lol
It
was 4:00 when I left Maasin City and reached Tacloban 6hours after. The traffic
in Campetic, Palo to Downtown stretches the travel time to almost an hour!
The
end=)
