MotoTrek - Fun and Adventure on Two Wheels

We just came home from a 290 km. round-trip ride on a Yamaha Mio Soul 125 motorcycle which covered nearly all of the major towns in Northern Antique. We left San Jose at 0630H and arrived in Culasi at 0805H where we stopped at a 7-11 store at for light breakfast.  After 15 minutes we departed for Pandan and headed straight to Malumpati Springs for a dip in its cool, clear waters. We then transferred to Naranjo Water Park, a  resort situated along Bughang River, one of, if not the cleanest river in the country.

Before going to the boat terminal, I had a light breakfast at Jolibee and boarded the outrigger boat with my 125cc XRM motorbike which had to be carried on and off the boat by porters. The boat trip lasted for about 15 minutes until we got to the Jordan boat terminal where I again mounted my tough iron horse and rode straight to the village of Oracon Norte, Guimaras. The reason for my trip was to accompany a Department of Agrarian Reform field personnel to inspect our late parents farm for clearance purposes before the ownership transfer process in our favor is approved. We had a tummy-friendly lunch at a seafood restaurant at Alibjon, Guimaras, after which I rode back to Jordan Boat Terminal for my return trip to Iloilo City, and to finally ride my bike back to San Jose...
