It was a trip back
to Naga for me after my quick and wet Caramoan escapade. I did not book a
flight back to Manila.
I wanted to try the 8-hour bus trip, yes... and Cebu Pacific ran out of promos
going back, HAHAHA! Getting a van back to Naga is not a problem. Once your boat
docks at the port you just have to follow the other tourists. For sure, one of
them would be taking a van to the city.
The length of the
trip is still a little over an hour. I asked the driver to drop me off wherever
I could take any form of vehicle going to the Camsur Watersports Complex or
CWC. Wake-boarding was, of course, on my to-do list. Besides, it was only 9 AM and
the bus that I would take going back to Manila
would not leave for another 12 hours. That iis a lot of time!
We arrived at the
highway along the airport at around a quarter past 10. The driver dropped me
off at the bus stop directly in front of the large banner welcoming you to CWC.
From there, one has to take a tricycle going in. I paid 50 pesos for the special
trip even if it did not even take 15 minutes for us to reach the complex.
I apologize for
the lack of pictures. In fact, I only have two for CWC. Why? Prepare my friend,
again I bitch: a) It was raining ALL DAY; b) my phone is not waterproof; c) I
was busy Diving, and that is frustrating for the mere reason that the activity
is actually called Wake-boarding; and d) it was already dark when I finally managed
to complete the course without having to drink the lake’s murky brown water. What
would be the very best reason? I was ALONE. In short, there was a lot going on that
I only had time to snap a photo or two when it was already dark, and STILL
raining.
You can pay in
cash or credit card. The people at the cashier would not let us pay the cheaper
half day or full day alternatives because according to them there were a lot of
people and thus, the return of equipment was slow. We had to have our names
listed in a waiting list and wait to be called. I decided to have lunch first
in the restaurant after watching some wake-boarders ride the waves and make it
look oh so easy as if they were just strolling around Luneta on a sunny
afternoon. You could still use your credit card at the restaurant but there is
a minimum required amount, as usual.
You see the pool
from the restaurant and it appears to be so wide you would think the space
concealed by the wall is still part of the swimming pool. Later, when you check
it yourself you will find out that what you see from the restaurant is actually
the whole pool itself. Now, that is one narrow pool! Payment for the usage of the
said facility is already included in the wake-boarding fee.
