More sights from the Philippines Getting from Here to There

This post is a continuation of the "Sights in the Philippines" series.  But it's also a shout-out to 

Cub Pack 952 from Liberty Ward, Cincinnati North Stake.  They've been following the blog and learning about the Philippines.  I thought these boys would like to see all the different kinds of transportation we have here.   Hopefully, families and friends will also enjoy seeing the ways our missionaries travel from place to place.  I didn't post any pictures of cars or trucks, which are certainly here.  But  when there are kuligligs, triceys, jeepneys and horse carts, cars and trucks are just boring!

The Tricycle--or Tricey is the most common way to travel if you don't have a long way to go.  These are motorcycles with a side car and third wheel.  They are a lot of fun to ride in--unless you are really tall!  They are used as taxis and for private use as well.

These are children coming home from school. 

Trycees are also used to move products, like these baskets above, or the pig below.

 

Lots of families use motorcycles--like these members from Burgos.

It's easy to see which triceys and motorcycles belong to members of the Church!

Jeepneys are also used for public transportation.  You can ride inside, or as you see, on top. 

(Missionaries can only ride inside, parents!)

This jeepney is a school bus for the moment--these are all student

Kuligligs are used for transportation and to work in the fields.

Carabao are ridden and used to transport goods, as well as used to work on the farm.

Horse carts in Tuguegarao

Lots of bikes--

And of course, the buses, which are very busy and travel the length of the country.  Missionaries used to get on a bus after they arrived in Manila and took an 8-10 hours bus ride to Cauayan.  About a year ago, flights started coming into Cauayan three times a week, so that long, long bus ride was no longer necessary.

Our October Arrivals ended up taking a bus too, as their flight was canceled to Cauayan and they were flown to Tuguegarao instead.  At least it's only a 3 hour ride!

We see all of these every day on the National Highway (and boring cars and trucks), along with chickens, goats, dogs, and cows.  But that's another post--
