Recovering...

This morning we both felt a little tender so we woke up early to say goodby to Zack and Skippy, (Shaun somehow went home last night??) and at 8am found them wide awake starting the day agin with a beer! How they do it we don't know! We went back to bed for a couple of hours, then...

My new Tattoo!!!

Wow today was certainly crazy!!! Having enjoyed our new frinds company last night, they persuaded us to go to White Beach with them for a pizza... To get there I had to overcome my phobia of going on a motorbike ever since falling off my own 5 years ago, and jump on the back of one of theirs,...

Rhymes with 'new spagetti.'

I passed through Manila briefly and have spent an entire week in Dumaguete City, Negros Island. [For pronunciation, see title of this entry!] Been a little bit lazy but not enough. Been a little bit adventurous and it's been great. This place makes Beijing look expensive! Too hot to stay...

Meeting some crazy Brits abroad...

Today we decided to have a nice chilled out day doing some reading and relaxing. The reason why we chose this beach was due to it being a lot quieter than the beach 5km away. However, then some other Brits checked in, Zack, Skippy and Shaun... We soon realised that peace and quiet...

Tired us from travelling

We finally arrived in Manila at around 6am, a little later than scheduled due to some major road works on the way, but then we weren't in any rush. Although the bus driver was an idiot throughout the journey, he did kindly drop us off right at the bus terminal which was a little out of his...

Hapao Rice terraces

This morning we went to Hapao to see more rice terraces. These are supposed to be the best in the area at this time of year as they were 100% green. To get there we took a tricycle and the bumpy journey took a little over an hour. We had supposedly paid for a tour guide but once we got...

The Eighth Wonder of the World

This morning we were awoken to Geston our crazy landlady loudly giving us our unrequested 6:45am wake-up-call by bursting into our rooms shouting, "it's 15 to 7, get up!” ... That was a shock to the system at stupid-o-clock! So we grumpily got up, dressed, and made our way to take a jeepney...

Secluded Mainit

This morning we left Sagada to head to Mainit. It was quite a hard decision to make, as we really loved Sagada but there's just so much to see in The Philippines! To get there we had to take a jeepney to Bontoc and then we took another to Mainit. However, there was an annoyingly...

Day 2 of trekking

This morning we woke up and I literally couldn't move! My legs hurt so much I couldn't face getting out of bed. However, after a little attention seeking I got up after Chris rubbed my calves back to life. Feeling optimistic and wanting to get the most out of the day again, we decided...

Trekking!

Today Chris and I got up bright and early and decided to go trekking! I know it sounds unbelievable and we almost couldn't believe it ourselves but we did! Our first stop was to Echo Valley to see some hanging coffins. However, we soon got lost following Lonely Planet directions. ...
