The adventurous entrance to Mindanao, Single Adventure Tours 2000 - part five

I was in hurry to get my flight to Cebu, because I missed my girlfriend for months. After my arrival in Cebu City I asked my taxi driver for a moderate hotel and found the Golden Valley Inn. A new hotel in down town which I liked very much. This hotel offers european standard for less then P600,-. I hadn't any other thought than how it feels to hug my girlfriend from the Philippines again. It seemed that my friends like the same,because I lost them at the airport in Manila with the direction to Angeles. I wanted to pick up my girlfriend in Cebu to bring she back to Mindanao where her family were waiting us. At this time I needed a rest from the Christmas hurly-burly in Manila and the tourist crowds in Puerto Galera and Boracay. My girlfriend comes from Butuan City in Mindanao where I wanted to go now. I have never been in Mindanao before. At this time I hadn't any planes where I would spent the next time, but I was curiouse to see the living conditions of my girlfriend. She would arrive on the next day so that I could have some refreshments at Club Circus. This was a San Miguel event only, because I was lonely and impatient by awaiting my next coming adventure in Mindanao. Several girls were looking for customers, that was good for talking but not for more. I took a look at Firehouse and must say, that the quality of this bar is much better now than I had remembered from my visit in June. The lineup looked fresh and is completely new. Well done! This bar is worth to visit more times. On the next morning I hold my girlfriend in my arms and told her that I want a boat to Mindanao right now. I guess you know already that it isn't a very good idea to travel around the islands during the christmas season, where everybody moves. Beside the front desk of this hotel was a ticket office where we heard that we aren't able to get a boat completely equal in which direction we ever want to go. I couldn't believe that and started my round trip to the airport and all piers I could find, but she was right with all her bad prophecy. After all I could find a rusted barge was going to Bohol. Believe me, I was happy to had found this boat, because I thought it would be easy to find another boat in Tagbilaran going to Mindanao. I was sure that we would get a boat to somewhere in Mindanao, because I already know that there are some irregular connections. The Filipinos are the greatest nation of seamen in the world and you can be quite sure that your trip continuation works on every remote island even you have to pay a special ride sometimes. Some carrier were helping me with my equipment to enter this boat as suddenly my girlfriend began to strike. She told me that she wanted to take a boat after Christmas, because our trip is tiring enough for today. In such a case I normally would discharged every friend of mine, but I came to visit the parents of my girlfriend, because I was in love with her on my trip before. Look at the page: Single Adventure Tours 2000-part two "From Cebu to Boracay". When I had leaved her in Boracay she was crying and that touched my heart. I had always remembered this goodbye scene at my home. Now I would prove if she really love me or not. This wouldn't become a big problem in case she was going to accompany me to Moalboal for diving, but she wanted to wait in Cebu City only. I never found out what was the matter with her. I don't remember how much angry I was, but at this time she took some of my crude freedom away and something of my extreme personality died at this pier on that day. Please don't understand me false in that point. I don't like a slave. I like girls with a strong self-confidence, but at this moment I wished a girl that trust and follow me. I asked her again and again, why she didn't like this boat. But she gave me no answer until today. It was a little bit humiliated to go back in the same hotel lobby, where they told me I don't would be able to get a ship or plane to Mindanao, but this was my tribute to our friendship and it seems to be ok. Later I should find out that she didn't share my love to the beautiful nature of the remote islands. She liked no places without a disco every day. This may be an expression of the differences between our ages. I missed the sound of the ocean and the sharks inside. This was my first time in Cebu City with mixed feelings even my girlfriend was beside me.
