It’s always a delight to try something new whenever I travel. This year, I have tried the Bicol Express, a sleeper bus, and only recently, an overnight ship, among others.

Traveling this way does have its benefits: you tend to take everything ever so slowly without the slightest guilt, maybe even enjoy the sunset (or sunrise) without the usual frantic pace. That doesn’t come everyday for most of us, so it’s certainly something worthwhile, especially for the curious.

The following are some photos I took during a recent nine-hour trip from Batangas to Caticlan onboard 2Go Travel’s Cebu Ferry 3. We took the 8 PM trip, docking at the Caticlan Jetty Port by 6 AM.
