Oct 7 - 7:30 in the evening my partner and I boarded Cebu Ferries, bound for Nasipit. The boat travels from Cebu to Butuan every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. You can also ride this boat if you would like to go to Surigao considering that it will drop by Surigao City around 2am.
Oct 8 – 8:00am the boat arrive in the port of Nasipit and from their we boarded a tricycle heading for the terminal where we can ride for the city proper of Butuan. (People heading for Davao can also take ride from these terminal since a bus headed for Davao is stationed there and departs every hour).
Upon arrival in Butuan City, we proceeded directly to our training. The course was held at the Caraga Review Center (CPR). A total of 20 participants joined our program and their center is right along the highway. What greet us right away was the streamer hanged on the building where the Review Center in Located....
We were also met by Mr. Anthony Coralde, the training coordinator of the review center. Well we did have an interesting day since the participants were very much in good spirit and all of them enjoyed the lectures. A total of 20 participants joined our training including the training coordinator himself. The first day was devoted to lectures on First aid, Bandaging application and return demonstration. Well it was a tiring day since we have just arrived from Cebu and went directly for the lecture.
After the first day of lecture, we proceeded to our place of stay....We proceeded to our humble abode... "Dotties Hotel". The hotel was just beside the review center and all we need to do is just walk. It is very easy to locate since it is along the highway as you proceed to the heart of the city. This was the first time that we stayed in this hotel. As we went inside, I was awed as to how big the hotel is...
The reception and hallway is big enough that you could probably jog around and play basketball. It makes me think of perhaps doing a short jog to exercise my body. Upon entering my room, well, jogging was already out of my mind. I feel like lying in bed considering that the room is so nice. Wifi is also available in each room. So, there I am, I mean there we are enjoying the comforts of life as if nothing really matters at all.
Out rooms were spacious and the amenities were awesome. But what strike me most was the view from my room. Our room was at the second floor and every time I go out of the room what captivates me was the view from where I stand... I could not help but pause and think... I try to memorize the view so I could remember them when I would want to relax... You want to know why... Just look at it yourself...
This is how the view looks like as I go out from my room…. Amazing.. feels like a vacation already… The next thing on my mind is grab a glass of orange juice and positioned myself on one of the benches near the pool... Well I guess my working vacation has started already....
Day two and Day three ended without any problem. We ended the course
with the practical activities on CPR return demonstration and Intubation. A couple of picture taking and a group picture. Truly indeed it was worth the travel....All the participants had fun and much learning as they told us. The CPR review center gave is a Certificate of Appreciation for the training that we have provided and it looks like there will be coming back for another round of training later on, sponsored by the review center....
News Update: My buddy Leo Gonzales, arrested in Butuan City an was imprisoned on a bus...
Hahahaha, just joking. He was just making a funny expression as I was taking pictures in Butuan Terminal. I was told that the travel time would be around 6 to 7 hours by bus as we head to the City of Davao... So stay tuned on my next update for our Davao Experience....
