Trip to Daet, Camarines Norte

[fourtheboys96]

My family and a couple of friends are going to Daet City this Thursday (March 28).

Any tips or reminders especially the road conditions? I am familiar with the road/route going to Naga City (as a passenger) but it will be my first time to Daet. So after Calauag, Quezon it will be unfamiliar road for me.

We'll come from LB, Laguna so no heavy traffic expected.

Sir, okay ang daan papuntang daet. Aspalto na.... madadaanan mo ung zigzag after quezon province.... they call it "bituka ng manok".

better avoid LB laguna much better kung mag via alaminos laguna ka..summer ngayon daming outing sa area na yan from Calamba to LB unless you're passing there very early in the morning..and mas maliit ang daan from calauan to Sanpablo then aliminos road after Lucena wala na masyado trapik..ingat lang sa Bitukang manok road

We came from LB (I live here) so we can;t avoid it hahaha.

Anyway, we left for Daet last Thursday.
We took the Nagcarlan-Lukban-Tayabas-Pagbilao route in anticipation of the traffic in San Pablo. All went well. We were not very fast as the road is not very wide for high speed driving. It took around 2 hours to reach Pagbilao.

Now, my officemate told me of a possible traffice in Gumaca or Lopez Quezon. Damn he was right. In Gumaca, it took more than an hour to move 5 kilometers towards the city center. In Lopez, it took longer to travel the 6 kilometers. Total waste of fuel and time.

Ang masakit nito, pagpasok mo sa poblacion ng dalawang bayan na yan, parang wala lang. parang walng cause ang traffic. ang mga pulis nakatambay lang na hindi ata alam na ang haba na ng pila.

Isa pa, yung napakadaming road repair sa Quezon part. Parang every 100 or 200 meters, may nirerepair ng 5 meters na kalsada. kakatawa na nakakinis talaga style ng mga pinoy.

After Lopez, Quezon smooth riding na. Ang ganda ng daad at tanawin sa Cam Norte. Sa bitukang manok, ako na nga driver parang ako pa masusuka kasi zigzag talaga hahaha
