The Ferry Ports of Allen



And the driveway from the ferry to the street might also be used test site for SUVs. However, there is much more going on anyway in the bigger, northern harbour. The ferries themselves are not really looking trustworthy, but they serve their purpose, back and forth on the San Bernardina Strait...

















Meanwhile on the bangka, a cook is preparing a meal for a group of tourists.



Back

To the left the view from the ferry towards Allen. The Southern ferry port (below) looks a bit run down...





Here a truck infront of the office of the veterinary service, where my brother in law is working.



A ferry has arrived, and a line of buses and cars is making its way from the ships to get on the long way to Catbalogan, Tacloban, Catarman or even Davao zu machen. Below the view towars Allen town.



While passengers wait for their bus to go into the ferry, residents have the best view towards theother side of San Bernardino Strait, from where Bulusan Volcano is greeting picturesquely or threateningly, depends on how you see it...



On the northern side of the ferry port, there is a picturesque fisher barrio making holiday feeling come up. The children from the barrio use a bangka and also ferries lying in the harbour for their games.







And some more pictures from the ferry passage from Matnog to Allen. Having luck and connections, it is also possible to watch the trip from the gallery infront of the bridge - and we take the chance. In the harbour of Matnog on the other side of San Bernardino Strait there are also boys ready to get wet for a Piso.
