Panglao, Bohol

Did 2 dives on Panglao - we were joined by a sea snake that was about 2 metres long. One of the most posionous animals in the sea, but luckily its jaws are only big enough to bite you between your toes. I'm very thankful for my flippers.

Nuts Huts

5 nights in Nuts Huts - not much to do here other than lounge in a hammock, read, eat, play Trivial pursuit, spot monkeys, swim in the river and trek through the jungle... We only moved on because our visas were running out.

Crocodile Island

There was a time when I visited Panay in the Philippines where I discovered Crocodile Island. From afar you can see that the Island is shaped like a crocodile (or alligator, but it doesn't matter). It was hours away from the main island, and it was a very beautiful place. Upon arrival, I...
