At last we arrive at the port of Dipolog City, as soon as we got off the pier, we drove straight to Oroquieta City to visit my grandparents and stayed there for a night. The next stop was Iligan City, took us 4 hours to travel to get there, since we have a little bit of time in our hands we kind of cool down for a couple of hours on the famous Timoga Fresh water Pools. Visiting Iligan is not complete without stopping by at Maria Christina Falls.the as we drove on our way to camiguin as our original itenerary, the car's radiator blow up and the engine broke down, it took a couple of days to get our car on the road. by the way We drove an old nissan sedan which i used to call it BatMobile, a bit rusty but still could run 60MPH in less than 10 seconds.
