Then you have to rent a van or jeep from Orion to Mount Samat Shrine.<BR/><BR/>If you wanna go to Corregidor, you can go to Cabcagen and rent some boat there going to Corregidor. Just brace yourself for a rough ride though.<BR/><BR/>Alternatively, you can go back to CCP Complex and book a ride at the Suncruiser going to Corregidor.<BR/><BR/>@ foongpc - thanks for liking them.<BR/><BR/>@ superman - i love traveling and taking photos of my travels. thanks for visiting.<BR/><BR/>@ jenn - thanks too.Omanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334833375168419402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20410000.post-11212404316813589072009-03-25T09:47:00.000+08:002009-03-25T09:47:00.000+08:00That stopped me in my tracks, to say the very leas...That stopped me in my tracks, to say the very least.
