Leyte | Walking Around Tacloban City

I spend my last day of Eastern Visayas trip in Tacloban City. It is the political and commercial center of Eastern Visayas. I walked the long stretch of Magsaysay Boulevard down to Trece Martirez then the Justice Romualdez St. I pass by the Tacloban City Hall, University of the Philippines-Tacloban and the Leyte Provincial Capitol.

The elegant design of the capitol really amuses me. There is a huge mural of General Mc Arthur and Ferdinand Magellan on the side of the building. On the flag pole there are statues of some Philippine heroes.

After that i packed my things checked out at the Tacloban Village Townhouse then I drop by the Robinsons mall were I left my backpack. I headed to Palo town to visit the Leyte memorial landing park where the historic larger than life monument of General Mc Arthur and his cohort stands.

A few hours left before my flight back to Manila I told myself that I have to comeback to this region soon to explore further the provinces of Eastern Samar and Biliran, to walk the 2 km stretch of San Juanico bridge, spend a night at Limasawa island and to experience the zip lining in Agas-Agas bridge! I shall return Eastern Visayas!

This part of my Eastern Visayas trip series.
