What to do while waiting in The port of Larena

                                     Portside Cafe in Larena Port , Siquijor

If you are merely passing by Larena , Siquijor aboard Lite Ferry from Plaridel, Misamis Occidental, then you may try to visit Port Side Cafe, located adjacent to the  ticketing office of Lite Shipping... 





if you have qualms on going about the port, the security guards are your bestfriends... The secret is the traveller's Rule of Thirds... Ask three random people in 3 different places doing 3 different jobs/work/businesses just to be sure. 



The cafe is just so near and is the only candy-colored infrastructure near the port... It used to look like an abondoned governement establishment and now it houses the uber friendly tourist police,  the Tourist Information Center, 



the Pasalubong Center,decent restroom aka comfort room(which you can use) 


A copy of the schedule of boats to and from the island, (they will call restaurants and motor rental services for you) 




and the cafe...  
This is what the cafe looks like from the inside ....

  With the crew offering a warm welcome while he waits for your order

You may stay outside to take a breath of fresh air... Wofi connection is still good here and the shade from the acacia tree will do you good... Plus you will have a view of the ship and other passengers who got off from the ship to their respective destinations... A good spot to observe thelocals too... Fronting this are many habal - habal drivers waiting to get hailed by passengers...

They offer free wifi if you place your order on their menu...





They also serve burger-based snacks, fries , pancit special among others... 


Here is what we had.... An ice caramel macchiato. A hawaiian burger combo and a house burger. And a hazelnut iced coffee and a cup of cafe americano
