I discovered this place on Internet, the site was already an invitation for a visit: http://www.thalattaresort.com or http://www.thalatta-beach.com

Th e purpose of our trip was diving in Apo Island sanctuaries, the dive boat of Thalatta Resort are leaving every morning for this spot. The ...

... meininki. Seuraavaksi edessa parin paivan chillailu Cebussa ja sitten onkin aika jattaa Filippiinit (ja ymparilla jalleen jyllaavat taifuunit) rauhaan. Lentoliput ostettu Cebusta 22. paivaksi ja seuraavaksi suunnataankin viimeisten paakallonmetsastajien kotikonnuille treffaamaan oranssiturkkisia pirulaisia.. Borneo on my mind!

... ollaan mm. vuokrattu moottoripyora - 5Euroa / pva - seka kayty tutustumassa myos Siquijorin kahteen kaupunkiin - Siquijor Cityyn ja Larenaan. Aika Siquijorilla on tarjonnut taydellisen vastakohdan suurkaupunkien sykkeelle mutta kaikki hyva loppuu aikanaan. Nain ollen joudummekin huomenna karistamaan saaren polyt tennareista ja edessa onkin paluu Cebu ...

... ja pulahtamassa jonka jalkeen olikin hyva jatkaa matkaa toiselle parantajalle.

Tama vanha nainen kaytti apunaan vetta ja puhaltamalla vesiastiaan puhdisti tautien riivaaman ruumiin epapuhtauksista. Hoito aloitettiin jalleen istahtamalla keskella avointa tilaa. Taman jalkeen parantaja otti pillin, kaatoi lasiin vetta ja alkoi liikutella lasia potilaan ymparilla samalla pilliin puhallellen. Kun koko ruumis oli kayty ...

... across to take some pictures and was quickly adopted by the Luke Write Barangay as they all posed for photos. I asked what they were waiting for and they ...

Dumaguete again. I ate with the American guy and then we were just hanging out drinking a beer when Stu, paddy and Chris coe ambaling by. It qwas about 9pm and they had just woken up. Since I had gone they had the crazyest tim - I mean- really crazy. So crazy im glad I wasnt ...

... The group is continuing their Open Water Diver instruction and they are all enjoying it. Virginia is the only one that has decided the course was not for her. I obtained a bottle of Solarcaine Aloe from Chris and returned to my room to slather it on. I smothered my back and the edges of where my swimsuit meets my rear, then I laid facedown on the bed. Within minutes the morning electricity was turned on and the cool breeze from the fan helped to cool my back. The ...

... dauert, bis das Programm laeuft. Aber halt, beim vierten Anlauf klappts, und es klingelt in Manila - und dann klingelts in meinen Ohren, weil mir der gute Chris naemlich eine Faxnummer angegeben hat... Die halbstuendige Suche nach der korrekten Nummer im Web verlaeuft natuerlich im Sand, und ich schicke erstmals (wirklich! ehrlich!) einen waehrschaften, aber trotzdem laesterlichen Schweizer Fluch in den philippinischen Aether. Ich kapituliere, miete mir ein ...

... down I noticed that all the jeepneys (old American military vehicles that have become the main form of public transport) all have religous messages on the back, this being a catholic country - again something that distinguishes the Philippines from it's neighbours. One of them said 'Jesus never fails.' Well I'd never fail if I didn't do anything either. A guy called Henly gave me a lift from the bus stop to the area where the hotels were. Little did I know that Henly would play ...

... come out tonight, but the last boat for the island would have already left, so they suggested that we stayed the night in Dumaguete. We stayed at the "El Dorado Resort", the same placed I stayed in 1998. They had really expanded, perhaps too much for my taste. Had on ok dinner. The room was 1 490 PHP, warm water shower though, so that was nice.
