From the Loay Fishport, there was one more thing I need to take photos of – the Clarin Bridge. The Clarin Bridge is just behind the Loay Fishport and one can easily walk to the bridge. The bridge isn’t really anything special. It actually looks like a prefabricated metal bridge with nothing really notable about it. The bridge itself spans the Loboc river. The same Loboc River I explored the previous day. Apparently this is where the mouth of the Loboc River is.

It took me a while to get from banks of the river to the bridge itself. From the bridge you can see a great view of the Loboc River and see how pristine it is. There was what seemed to be a docking station for river cruises. There doesn’t seem to be any patrons on this side of the river. From what I hear, it is possible for visitors to tour the river from here all the way inside. I think that would have made an interesting ride.

At this point the river is quite wide and a ride at this point won’t be as interesting as one that starts from Loboc town. The river at Loboc is narrower and with the dense foliage one both banks of the river, I would agree that it would be the more interesting leg. Loay is a surprisingly interesting town rich in history and nature. It would seem that they are not really in the tourism radar but sometimes I would like it that way.
