...for letting us make our flight!

Here's the breakdown:

6 am - pick up on two motorbikes
6:15 am - flat tire on Ronald's motorbike
------- 30 minute waiting time by the side of the road ---------
6:45 am - back on the bikes
7:45 am - arrival at Roxas "bus" terminal to decide to pay: 1,000 for the van to leave right then, 200 each for the van to leave at 8 am with other passengers. We opted for the latter and were picking up people until 8:33
10:45 am - bus terminal in Puerto Princesa to hire a trike to the airport (100 total, 20 more than what we were offered two days ago...)
11:05 am - airport. We run in, I show our itinerary to the woman at the counter and she's says we had already been checked in! How!? We pay the 20 peso terminal fee and immediately board the plane to find that our seats are aisles...nice! I also won a prize for knowing that "Two Become One" was a Spice Girls's song...they had trivia to celebrate their anniversary and it was the same first question we had two days ago...I won a small, waterproof bag.
12:30 pm - Cebu airport. Took a cab for 200 to Fuente OsmeƱa and have spent many hours in Mooon Cafe (yes, there are three "o's")

We have to wait until 18:30 or 19:00 to go to our hostel so they don't charge us for more than 12 hours....

On to Boracay tomorrow!

Technical details
-none of the speedometers on the motorbikes work
