Two weeks ago, me and my wife went to cruise along Pasig River on board an airconditioned catamaran. It has plastic seats, good view of the river (and its garbage) and a front mounted HDTV for entertainment.
It was a Sunday so we planned to bum around Manila. We took the ferry from the San Joaquin Station. Since it was a Sunday, they offered a flat rate of P25.00. It took more than one hour to get to Escolta, the last station. Across the river is the Philippine Post Office.
After a long stroll in Raon and the China Town, we again took the ferry back to Pasig.
Even though the trip took more than an hour, it was stress free inspite of the garbage floating around. And since it is airconditioned, we sat comfortably not being bothered by the possibility of a foul smell outside.
I would recommend to readers to take the ferry. For those interested it has stations in Kalawaan, San Joaquin, Guadalupe, Lambingan, Sta. Ana, PUP, and Escolta.
A map at the back of the ferry shows possible expansion to Manila Bay, Laguna de Bay, and Marikina almost to San Mateo.
Hope you will also enjoy the ride as we did.
