The Roxas City Trip

Hey peeps. This is actually a late post but hey, its better late than never. I just got too busy at work. Anyway, the trip was last Tuesday. After my off from work, I went to Jaro Plaza to meet with my brother who had invited me earlier to go to Roxas City to meet with his childhood classmate. I arrived there earlier and had to wait for about an hour (and also was fighting my sleepiness). He arrived around 7:30 in the morning, rested for a bit and we’re headed off to Roxas city.

To sum up the rest of the trip, here are the pics.

It was raining hard here in Iloilo when we left for Roxas. Took this while I was really wanting to sleep in the back.

The replica of the churchs biggest bell. It is actually the third largest in the world. The real one is located on the church belfry.

We were actually able to go the belfry and see the actual bell there. Unfortunately, my bro’s cam ran out of battery and the memory card of Magno’s cam who took the rest of the pics broke. Oh well. It was a very fun experience though.

I’m looking forward for another travel escapade this year and I hope Team Videoke will finally decide on a trip despite the busy sked. In the meantime, I gotta say goodbye.

Until next post and thanks very much for reading… 🙂
