Solely Yours - Surigao

June 6, 2011 is a Monday and it’s back to school day, but I’m not going to school. Instead, I’m heading for Surigao!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With Mr. Aben.

Agora by 9am, then reached Butuan during lunch time. We dropped by Marige’s for the wifi to do some emails. Since we were already there, we tried their food, and yes it was great. The place is very cozy. The walls are decorated with vandals. There were many people dining there, so I assume it is a known café in the city. 

After lunch, back to the bus – for Surigao!

From the bus station, we took a multicab – since there were no taxis in the city. Before checking in, we dropped by Solely Yours – Authorized distributor of Havaianas in the city. So if you’re in Surigao and you wanna buy some Havs go to Solely Yours! They’re right behind a standalone Penshoppe. The store opens from 8 in the morning and closes at 7 in the evening.

The store owner, Ms. Jenny Bernal arrived and drove us to our hotel.

After an hour they picked us for dinner. We head straight to Ocean Bounties. The food tastes great!

After Ocean Bounties, we went to Tavern – perceived as high end hotel in Surigao. There I met two new friends - Doc Lambs and Ms. Ivy. 

Mr.Aben, Ms.Jenny, Ms.Ivy and ME!

After Tavern, we decided to have a pizza! and Calda's was just behind the hotel. 

After eating, Ms. Jenny and Mr. Vernon drove us back to out hotel.

The following day, means work again. 

Back to the store and Mr. Aben conducted training workshop to the sales associates. 

While they were having their training, I got busy chatting with Ms. Jenny. 

After the first half, we went out for lunch. Just near the store is a resto named Islands Restaurant. Their food tastes great!

After eating, took a break, back to the hotel, and after an hour we went back to the store for the visual merchandising and hands-on training. 

It was a very productive day! And so for dinner, we went to Pier View, barbecue station near the pier. It is a street occupied with a barbecue stations. They serve good food and I was amazed of the number of people eating there.

Next stop, Bookcafe. A cafe where you can rent books. 

Mr.Vernon and Cobo on the lower right

 After bookcafe, Videoke. So we went straight to Drop Buy.

ME, Ms.Ivy, Ms.Jenny and Mr.Vernon, Doc Lambz, Mr.Aben

But the we needed to stop and transfer because of the brown out! 

next stop?? Kody's Music Bar! Big thanks to the brownout. Without it, I won't experience how fun that place was. 

There we enjoyed the rest of the night. 

The following day we traveled back to Butuan.....
