Fire drill at Jotay-gorgeous beach in Pagudpud!
Pagudpud
,
Philippines
As mentioned yesterday, today is our last day at Jotay and Trev arranged for us to get picked up at 10:30am after a fire drill took place at the resort.
The drill itself was in fact very entertaining!
The pretend fire at Jotay
About to call the 3 fire departments with the chief
We made a pretend fire just outside the main entrance and then called 3 different fire departments to check their response time.
Impressive fire hose
The size difference between the state fire department and the volunteers vehicles
They were remarkably very quick as well as efficient we were all very impressed, but felt a little guity though when they all rushed in as they themseves were unaware they were being tested.
The Eatern Hawaii Fire departments volunteers
Can yoelieve this tiny vehicle is the state fire engine???
Also, if all 3 fire departments were on call, then we dread to think what would happen if there were a real fire!
After the fire was put out- time for photos
Nice jacket!?
After the drill everyone was given loads of free food and we said goodbye to Trev and made our way to Pagudpud in a local's van which was so basic and run down we were amazed it could even drive!
Trev, Max and the 3 fire departments
Once in Pagudpud, we had to remember that we are now once again backpackers so had to walk from one resort to the next to haggle down the
Price
and considering it is a major tourist destination the place is seriously a ghost town which left plenty of room for negotiation.

Relaxing with a buka juice
Loving Pugudpud
Once we settled in we took a walk down to beach to grab something to eat and the beach we had to ourselves as well which suited us just fine!
