To cut a very long, tediously mundane story short- we’re leaving Panagsama tomorrow; for good this time. The flat turns out to be a complete disaster zone; teamed with a growing resentment for the place, we‘ve finally decided to call it a day here. ... Read more >

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 >

So, we’ve been getting a bit of cabin fever out here, tucked away at Tongo Point. We decide to go to Moal Boal on the pretext of securing a good cheese supply. It’s daylight when we leave to make the winding dirt track up to the main road leading ... Read more >

I sprang for the “luxurious” way to travel from El Nido to Sabang. An air-conditioned shuttle van. Mama Leety from the inglorious Bayview Inn made sure that if I was going to book the van, that she would do it for me. And get her cut. So into a crowded, ... 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 >

So, Jon is not really a “happy Camper”. He is pretty quiet, not too enthusiastic about much, (besides golf, and girls so tiny they look like they‘re 14 years old) and is pretty emotionless. I feel like a 5 year old in Disneyland. I’m excited over ... Read more >

For ages I’ve been trying to get Stef on a moped/motor bike as it’s no doubt a great way to explore a place independently. Unfortunately, Stef has no desire whatsoever in entertaining this idea; even though I’ve offered to chauffeur him around personally.... Read more >

It’s baking hot as we make our way with Neil and Di to Rose’s pad. We’re very optimistic about this place and don’t even notice the sweat running off our backs as we trundle over some rock-strewn track flanked by pig sty’s, chicken coups and ramshackle ... Read more >

After seeing a few more places in Panagsama, we soon realize that Linda’s place, although isolated is probably our best option. We head out to Roxy’s bar, home to our Aussie friends ex land-lady, Rose. They’ve promised her a visit and we want to ... Read more >
