isa lang ang gasolinahan sa Basco which offers:

Gasoline: 74:50 a liter

Diesel: 72.50 a liter

Ahihi!

Yan eh presyo noong hindi pa pumapalo sa highest level ang fuel.

last time punta ko dyan noong 2005. ganda nga talaga. ingat lang sa paglalakad sa mga meadows/grasslands, punong puno ng ebs ng baka! hahahaha

sa basco, dun kami sa canteen ng school kumakain para makatipid. yung malapit sa simbahan at police station.

it's better kung i-hike nyo na lang yung lugar para matanaw nyo lahat. mga 1-2 days malilibot nyo na lahat kasama na pag akyat ng bundok. pero thrill din sumakay ng dyip. hehe

may water problem pa ba sila dun? nung time kasi namin may shortage kaya ration.

hopefully makabalik kami dun soon. it's easier now kasi mga 2-3 known airlines na ang bumabyahe. dati asian spirit at chemtrad (via laoag or tuguegarao) lang. ngayon may sea air na rin ata.

this is the honesty store. walang bantay dito, ihuhulog mo lang sa box ang bayad mo...

a 40-seater jeepney that plies the 23-kilometer Itbud-Basco stretch.
minimum fare is P9.50 to P27.

So you mean, kahit cellphone di pwede...... Smart at Globe, di aabot?

by plane lang. check zest air and seair. di ko sure kung meron na ang cebu pac and pal express. nung 2005 sa Seaside hotel kami nagstay. around 1-1.2k per nite ang aircon room. there are a few more inns/hotels. yung medyo maganda (parang cottage style) medyo palayo na ng basco.

sarap nga siguro magbike dun along the snaking cliff road. konting mali mo lang laglag ka at baka sa taiwan ka na pulutin. hahahahaha
