We managed to come in to Manila for one birthday and left the day of another, so it's been a holiday full of birthday parties. Caren and Nanay are both a year older now and we were there to celebrate with them as well.

Well, we now seem to be with water once more at Tongo Point. Regardless of this new development we still feel the need to call it a day there. So, we make our way on foot to Panagsama for a last ditch attempt at finding a suitable abode. Plus, we want ... Read more >

Since we’ve been here our heads have been so taken with the underwater world of the reef, that we’ve not yet bothered to turn them to the sky. Well, last night was the exception… After a few San Miguel’s and listening to Stef’s infamous playlist, ... Read more >

I am now in El Nido. An island town with no ATM, and nobody takes credit cards. I took a 1 hour flight from Manila to Puerto Princessa, on the island of Palawan. Then took an 8+ hour bus ride to El Nido. A bumpy, dusty, cramped 8 hour bus ride. I ... Read more >
