Day 204 Feb 24 2015 Santander Philippines


Day 204  Feb 24 2015  Santander Philippines


We caught a cab from the apartment to the airport at 8:45 am to catch our 1 pm flight.  The airport is 18 km from the apartment we rented and it took us 2 hours and 45 minutes to travel the distance.   The first 4.8 km took 2 hours and 20 minutes and I was starting to get worried that we would not make the flight as the driver had said that the traffic was jammed all the way to the airport.  When we were about to board the plane the airline announced 1 hour delay with the flight leaving at 2 pm instead of 1 pm.  We boarded the plane shortly after 2 pm and waited on the tarmac until 3:15 when we finally took off.  This was the first flight of the trip that has been delayed.  When we got to Cebu we were happy to find the driver waiting for us.  After a 3 ½ hour car ride to the house we rented we found it quite a bit different then we had been expecting.  We were expecting a 2 bedroom house, what we found was a large single room with 2 beds, the kitchen and washroom are in a separate building.  We complained to the driver whom is also the nephew of the owner and also sent the owner an e-mail.  We are supposed to get another building tomorrow with another bed in, not the best solution but better than nothing.
