DBP Roro Inter-island Adventure Race - Day 3DBP Roro Inter-island Adventure Race - Day 3
Day three started really early. After the relatively short (around 2 hours. relatively short compared to the 7 hour ones we had) bus ride to the Bohol port. We went to this restaurant where we had a late dinner. The mayor spoke to us about Bohol after dinner while waiting for the midnight roro trip to cebu. Ian has this imitation of the mayor where he discusses all the little islands in the area which the mayor did haha. There were a lot of people waiting to see the celebs we were with. Ryza's pack was still quite heavy so she took out 3 of her shirts and 3 sandos, signed it and went to town giving it away.
After dinner, we went aboard our first roro ride headed for Cebu. Long stop over at the terminal since we were waiting for the roro to arrive. Then we loaded up and at around 1am, we had our first elimination. We were tied around the waist and then asked released according to the ranking of the last leg. Due to a penalty, we became the second team to be released instead of third. Two minutes after the first team was released, we were given our clue. The task was to solve a slide number puzzle. It would have been harder if it was a picture puzzle but since it was just to arrange the numbers, i quickly solved it so it was then time to look for the marshal. We ran out just in time to see Bea's team go down from the upper floor with a lost look on their face so we decided not to go up yet. We saw the marshal in a narrow walkway behind the engine room. We got the clue to proceed to the pitstop at the Captain's deck and so we headed up and forward. We found it and jumped onto the pitstop mat. Strangely, the race director, Ige, and Mitch, the host kept looking at us weirdly and was asking us "what else are you going to do?" We reread the clues and since they didnt declare our rank, we went off to find the captain. The other teams started arriving and was following our lead. We checked out the captain's room and stuff for more clues. We even talked to the captain and looked under his chair. Crazy captain talked to us as if he was about to give a clue pero wala naman. Later on, we found out that we already did what we were supposed to do and they declared us the winner of that leg.
We arrived at Cebu near dawn. Just as the sun was peeping out, we were released into cebu. As leader, we were released first. Our clue was that our next destination is at the back of the "50 peso bill" which we were supplied with. We were to commute there for our next clue. The picture of the place we were supposed to go to was included. Will and i asked around for what the picture was and where to find it. We grabbed a jeep and headed off to Puente. At puente, we ran to get our next clue from the marshal there. He said to commute to Colon St. and have a slogan translated into Cebuano. We grabbed the next jeep with the right number headed for colon st. We asked a scholarly looking lady in the jeep to help translate. Since she missed her stop, we asked her to accompany us to the pitstop. She messed up the translation of one word. We had to keep trying until we got it. The blue team overtook us in the foot race to the pit stop at the DBP Cebu office. We finished second this time just as the rain began to pour. Charee's team with Chad and Roxy got eliminated because they got misled by the 50 peso clue and failed to note the picture.
After breakfast,we were herded off to a waiting bus and went straight to the port headed to Leyte. Since there was a storm, the coast guard didnt clear us to leave so we got to spend a few hours at this brand spanking new luxury roro. That boat rocked! We got to shower and lounge around. There was a crazy challenge that day. We were tied wrist to wrist and then released one after the other. We were supposed to find the tables and then eat what was in the packs. Those darned cebu corn delicacies were hard to swallow!!! Daya ni Williamson because he barely ate any since he gorged on some before the challenge. Then, once done, we grabbed the clue which was to paint our faces like the indian in the picture included. Then we were to look for this guy in the roro who will give us our final clue. We couldnt find the guy until Bea pointed him out to us. We finished last but luckily, it was a non elimination round and non-bearing, too. We kept our 2nd place but i think that was when Williamson's bossiness peaked haha. Too much stress got to him. Still,we were still in the race and we headed out to leyte in the middle of the night.
