Kumusta naman roads within Samar at Bicol? Di naman malubak? Puwede ba humataw ng todo?

My wife wouldn't agree to that. She is my speed enforcer.

For long drives, I tecommend Nescafe Ice Coffee Mocha flavor. You can buy this at Shell Shop or 7-11. In can siya. This will keep you awake for 18 hours. Tried and tested up to 20 hours straight drive. Dont get the Uson brand you might spend more time in hotels than on the road

For first time drives I tecommend day only drives and you plan and select your pit stops in tourist spot sites. This will keep you and your passengers from getting bored.

Watched out for the rail road crossings it can wreck your suspensions if you drove fast over it.

Eto ang balak ko if ever mag-aya ulit silang mag-Mindanao. Fly sila sa Ozamis tapos pick up na lang sila dun pagdating. Kami ni misis ang mag by land.

Sa Samar may malulubak lang konti pag sa may bulubundukin area. Ngayon siguro ayos na yun. Daming road widening projects sa Visayas at Mindanao nung August. Tapos na siguro yung mga yun ngayon. Ayaw ko lang sa Samar ng gabi, parang ghost town. Wala halos mga ilaw.

Sa Sorsogn doon mejo nakakahataw ako hanggang 100 lang dahil ayaw ng monther-in-law ko masyado raw mabilis. Haha.

Pagdating namin ng San Isidro ng 7:30PM, dumirecho kami ng Calbayog at doon nagpalipas ng gabi.

Yung daan sa Samar siguro maayos na ngayon dahil nung pauwi kami ng September, halos tapos na lahat ng reblocking doon.

Puro day trip kami kasi habol namin yung sight-seeing. From Calbayog, direcho kami hanggang San Ricardo pero Montenegro lang ang RoRo doon.

Kung FastCat ang habol mo, sa Liloan ka sasakay ng FastCat papuntang Lipata port.

Nasa 6k pala inabot ng gas ko back and forth so baka mas konti lang sayo since Surigao ka lang. Mobilio pala dala namin noon. 5 pax plus bags tapos pauwi dumagdag ang mga prutas.

Also, prepare a photocopy of your OR/CR para sa RoRo. Get enough sleep prior to your trip.

Safe trip po.

Thanks for the details sir.

Just a follow up, since I'll be passing Pagbilao-Atimonan area, is the old zigzag road (aka bitukang manok) safe to pass at around let's say 4-5 AM in the morning?

We decided to leave Paranaque at around 2 AM, so we might hit the area around 4-5 AM. if it's a no go then I'll just go with the diversion road. Thanks.

Yup, much safer and faster than the diversion road.

It's safe during that time. May mga tao naman na nagga-guide sa mga motorista. Pag sa baba ka puro mga truck at bus na harurot kasabay mo.
