IN TRANSIT FROM LAKE SEBU TO MIDSAYAP IN NORTH COTABATO



It was around 1130am when we returned to the terminal after our Lake Sebu Seven Falls adventure.  Koronadal [more known as Marbel to the locals] bound vans are scheduled to leave every 30 minutes so with half an hour to spare, hubby had a quick soup while I had my coffee paired with binangkal [sesame seed balls]. 

THE ZIPLINE RIDE AT THE SEVEN FALLS OF LAKE SEBU


A zipline ride sealed our Lake Sebu trip… Way up high at 600 feet with a combination of 740-meter and 400-meter lines, we flew above the seven falls.  Flashback of early 2000’s memories during our rescue camp days when we were among the early zipline ride dummy … LOL.. Back then, a 25-30 meters line was already a glory.  Despite the countless fall and stumble, the pleasure of flying and the free-spirit feelings were beyond compare then.

At 730am we arrived at Lake Lahit just in time before the lotus plants conceals its beautiful flower.  Should we made it last night as originally planned, a banka ride for the lotus blossom display was one of the early morning agenda.  Anyways, catching it afar was already a blessing for now.

GEN SAN – KORONADAL – LAKE SEBU – MIDSAYAP – ALAMADA – COTABATO CITY TRIP


It was already 9am when I managed to connect online and my first agenda was to do a web check-in to ensure our confirmation for the 1:15pm Gen San flight.  Even if we checked-in already, hubby insisted on getting to the airport before 1230pm - fearful of “just in case” events.  At the airport, another challenge was the search for the parking slot.  We did several rounds but we failed to get one.  Until the parking boys offered “tulak-tulak” (roll the car as needed), ours is a van, but to our desperation, we said yes…

25mins before departure time we reached the boarding gate and to my dismay, it looked like holidays at a bus terminal filled with people waiting for a trip.  Three to five trips were assigned per gate and obviously the ventilation was not enough.  We learned that most of the flights, even international trips, were delayed because of air traffic issues.  Whew, ours was moved to 3pm and we had no other choice but to hold and wait.  I was worried because we're certainly late for the Lake Sebu last trip, our supposed stop for the 1st night… Hungry, agitated and all, I followed hubby out of the boarding area for some air and for a lunch.
