MACARTHUR & SAN JUANICO.

We took a tricycle to DOT(Department Of Tourism) to get a map of the city and all the information we could get.  The info-office was located in the beautiful Leyte Park Resort.

San Juanico Bridge crosses over picturesque San Juanico Strait, and provides a major link in the 3000km Pan-Philippino Highway.
The 2.16 kilometres-long structure spans the world's reputedly narrowest navigable channel connecting the twin islands of Leyte and Samar.

On the 9th we went to the busterminal in the morning to move on to ORMOC-CITY, where we could take our transportation to CEBU-CITY.
As the bus never got really full during the trip, we had a smooth ride and it started to rain very heavily but only one big cloud and after the sun came back.
