Moving Day

Moving day in Cebu City The multi-cab is loaded up and ready to go, Beverly Hills style! Ye Haw! A small house like this rents in Cebu City for around 12,000 pesos a month. It's in a gated community with a guard house at the end of the street. Some people like the idea of this control but it gives me claustraphobia. This place has 2 bedrooms and two baths and room to park 2 vehicles in the drive. It was a tight squeeze getting out from under the trees growing alongside the drive. We had to load the sofa and chairs out in the alley. We packed a box spring, mattress, dinette set with 6 chairs, sofa and 2 matching chairs, 3 end tables, cabinet, 2 boxes of books, 2 fans, computer and other misc. stuff into and on top of this multi cab. It was impressive, even for the Philippines. Approaching Car Car. Foot powered and motorbike trikes are the norm. The traffic is especially heavy on weekends. This is a suburb of Cebu City called Banawa. Cebu can be crowded and dirty but I like the location. Public transport is cheap so you can get around easily and cheaply. It is handy because parking can be hard to find in the city. It took a while to get through the city and down to Car Car where we picked up the road over the mountains to Barili. We stopped at the Molvale Milk station in the hills for some mango ice cream. Its about 13 k from Car Car and well worth the stop. Delicious ice cream cones are 10 pesos each. We got caught by a driving rain but everything worked out in the end. 2008    www.dutchpickle.com
