Bohol bum bags....they're the future
This is a top pick! We woke after a troubled and argumentative night regarding playing computer games whilst the Wizard is trying to sleep. Erica edit: I got a bit addicted to spider solitaire, but I had the sound off and had the screen turned away from him! Anyway, ...
Last hurrah in Asia
This is a top pick! ... 'd had a chance to take a train as well then we would have taken just about every form of non-animal transport in the Philippines! Despite the bit of an ordeal getting here, it was totally worth it; this place is absolutely gorgeous! Boracay has ...
Happy Birthday Erica
This is a top pick! I woke up at 10am in a bamboo hut in the middle of the jungle in the Philippines on my 31st birthday, I would guess my most surreal birthday ever. I know I woke up last year in a tent on a beach in the Inner Hebrides next to a dog but I think that this ...

A romantic dinner for one......
This is a top pick! We had made our minds up last night that we were all snorkeled out for the moment so we would hang up our fins, masks and snorkels and get down to the really fun stuff....Andrew's dissertation. It would be my job to proof read, edit and generally ...
Welcome to Paradise
This is a top pick! ... to get fewer and fewer and the views of the sea and beautiful fields started to come into view. This was more like the Philippines we were hoping for. The roads though were not in the best condition and our Rough Rider Driver likes his accelerator which ...
Cliffhanger
This is a top pick! ... in confusion and started giggling. Elvis explained that these remote mountain people couldn't speak Tagalog, the native tongue of the Philippines, but in fact spoke English - the result of too many missionaries and not enough effort to maintain ...
Welcome to the Philippines and planes with games
This is a top pick! ... smoke alarm. This had definitely not happened at Chez Tunstall. Oh and there are lots and lots of mozzies. Erica alert. Not a great first impression of the Philippines but we are looking forward to getting to the island of Malapascua ...
Beer Breakfast, Salsa Shaker
This is a top pick! It was 5am. We had not slept for 24 hours and the airport was deserted except for a bell ringing electro-Santa, a bored hirsute man in a Russian hat, and ourselves. At times like this you become oblivious to reality. All conversations become ...
How to not be a sex tourist but feel like one.
This is a top pick! Well. It is I Vinny, and I'm back in Manly Australia once again. Which means I survived the Philippines with its sex tourism, murder, election issues and military action. And I LOVED it. Great place, great people, crap food. Well crap may be unfair. Bland ...
You Tarzan me Jane....
This is a top pick! Waking as it got light at about 4:30am I now realise why I'm knackered all the time. It needs to be dark for me to sleep and these huts are just not designed to get dark. Also the noise of the fruit (about the size of an apple) dropping from the tree ...
James Pond: License to grill
This is a top pick! We woke at about 8.30am and I went to order Andrew a breakfast from the kitchen. We sat on the porch drinking tea and coffee and tucking in to garlic and onion rice, corned beef and a fried egg, it was even better than the day before. ...

Alona Beach - Panglao
This is a top pick! Brian and I took a ferry from Cebu to Tagbilaran on the next island, Bohol. We walked a bit and then hired a jeepney to take us to Alona Beach on Panglao Island. Its very nice, but if this is the high season then I'd hate to see the low season because ...
An exercise in sun avoidance
This is a top pick! ... we were getting to the critical stage of replanning. Anyway the planning took up most of the day. We booked more flights around the Philippines which the cost of some were a set back also the change of timing has meant we are missing out on possibly two ...

Manila Madness
This is a top pick! There's only one bus from Banaue to Manila and it leaves at 17:30 and arrives in Manila at 3:30 am! Who the hell decided that schedule? I can't even fathom why anyone would want to arrive in manila at 3:30 am - we decide that the vendors in Banaue ...

A quick walk around Puerta Princessa
This is a top pick! From what I gather no one tried the door in the night so that was a relief. We got up at about 9am and had breakfast of poached egg on toast over which we tried to hatch a plan for the day. We settled on the idea that we would take a tricycle in to ...

Don't trip over the coconut...
This is a top pick! ... our windows wound up, avoiding the noxious clouds as best the air filter could manage. Traffic jams in the Philippines are like nothing I've ever experienced. The predictable unpredictability was quite refreshing after the logic-defying Korean habit of ...
Just Passin' Thru
This is a top pick! ... night in Cebu City. Tomorrow we catch SuperFerry. There's a massive shopping mall close to where we're staying. Although the Philippines is very poor there is no shortage of shoppers in this mall that's probably as pleasant as any we have at home. ...
Just off Passwater Blvd
This is a top pick! Our first night in the Philippine, we stayed at a little hole in the wall of a rat's nest called the Townhouse. We needed a place to catch a few hours sleep as we had an early morning flight to Dumaguete, on the south coast of Negros. The Townhouse ...
Island Life

Madness in Manila
This is a top pick! ... it was raining and was very muddy so we visited a bar instead with some Cebuanos we had met at the concert. The Philippines is great so far - a little crazy but very very friendly people and we are looking forward to exploring this interesting country ...
