Stranded at Tagbilaran City, Bohol Port

We travelled from Lundag Pilar Bohol for about three hours and it was raining the whole day.
When we arrived at the port, there was already a post on lite shipping ticketing that was fully booked, and there were many people there who did not have tickets yet and that was January 02,2022 at the Tagbilaran City Bohol port.

There is a fast craft that has not fully booked all the trip time but their tickets are very expensive and I am also afraid to ride a small ship because the weather is rainy and windy.

The staff of lite shipping said that there is a trip tomorrow, but the tickets are limited, so we need to line up at the main office of lite shipping early the next day so that the tickets don't run out because many people are stranded and need to go home.

It's hard to be stranded and stay overnight in the port with a baby.
I searched online for a cheap pension house where we could stay for one night.
Our baby is not feeling well at that time so we need you to find a place to stay

My cellphone's battery is almost dead, I still haven't booked a cheap pension online because there are only cheap ones, but they've been closed since typhoon Odette because the electricity hasn't been restored immediately throughout Bohol province and they don't have their own generator so they can't continue to receive guests.

Our baby Exo was not in the mood already, so I decided to leave and ride a tricycle and ask the tricycle driver to help us find a cheap pension house so that our baby can rest because we are from long travelled for a few hours, we haven't had lunch yet, the three of us are hungry and tired already.

We went to a few pension houses, they were open but all fully booked.
Fortunately, the driver was kind, he took pity on us with a baby, he helped us, he didn't leave us until we found a place to stay because we had a lot of things with a baby and above all, it was raining.

The last pension house we went to was The Reyna's Pension house, luckily that they had one room left that was vacant and even though the room was expensive at 1300php, we just took it even though we were left with so little money that we only had enough for the fare to go home to Cebu and a little for our food allowance for the trip.

I had savings in my noisecash earnings of 1200php, I just cashed it out and we just added 100php to be 1300php and we can rest especially our baby who is not feeling well.

It's really good that I have 1200 saved in my noisecash and this is what I used to pay for the pension house, if it wasn't for that we would have spent the night at the port.
Thanks to noisecash for saving us for one night stay.

The next day, January 3, 2022, at four o'clock in the morning, hubby left to go to the main office of lite shipping so that he could be the first one there and be sure to buy a ticket.

If not, we won't have money to extend the pension house and for our food.
When hubby got there, there were already about 15 people in line to wait for the ticketing office to open and It was still raining that day.
Office hours are 8:00 a.m. but still, they are Filipino time, Which means that it opened late and started.

before totally leaving at Reyna's Pension House we took a groupie

Hubby got a ticket for the 12nn trip and we got home to Cebu safe and sound even though it was raining that day.
