... hintakin on vain vajaa 5 Euroa.. Dosa kaasutteli normaalia n.70 kmh nopeutta piskuista vuoristotieta pitkin. Onneksi ei tullut ketaan vastaan silla tiehan tietysti oli yksikaistainen. Mutkat kun olisi vedetty suoriksi niin kevyt sadan metrin pudotus mereen olisi venannut edessa.. No nainhnan taalla aina ajetaan joten aika ...

'Islands in the sun'. Elbaaminen Siquijorilla jatkunut nyt toista viikkoa. Ollaan paasty tutuiksi takalaisten kanssa ja otettu osaa esim. San Juanin vuotuiseen fiestaan. Natiiveihin tutustuminen on avannut taysin uudenlaisen perspektiivin saaren elamaan ja osoittautunut loistavaksi tavaksi ...

Jos ei hyvalla niin sitten.. Seuraavana aamuna tilanne oli entisensa ja Parman jalkituulet tuiversivat ikavaan malliin.

As I write in my journal, I savor the few hours I have with the bedside fan. Moving to the ...

This is where I is at right now. A student town, with chilled out vibe. My travel mate for the last 2/3 weeks or so, Murray, left yesterday. I'm now on my own and plan to do a few days trips around here before hitting Mindano, which is predominantly Muslim. Oh, I went snorkelling off this beach the other day and saw a turtle and muchos fishies!

Seven months on the roads of our wee planet... We arrived in Dumaguete today. Dumaguete is in the South of Negros Island, an island situated just North of Cebu. It's quite an interesting place if you're into shopping and very bad lasagna (the worst food I've ever tried in my life I think!). We had some good uneventful days there though, until we heard the news: Some older American guy (there are plenty here, running after sexy young wee Philipinas ...
