Back to Back(packer)
... weather was rubbish: grey, overcast, rainy and miserable. Not one to let this situation get me down, I took off exploring the city/town unless the false pretense of finding Simon some medication, but really so I could find the nearest Shakey's pizza, and scope out the shopping situation. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

And Iti is an adventurous little fellow and likes ...
Diving off Dumaguete at Apo Island
... of the Philippines, Apo Island!
The next day we kitted up and set off for our diving adventure. The island is about 30 minutes off Dumaguete and we reached it with the tiniest of boats that barely held us and our dive master. The water was quite choppy and we were soaked by the time we got there. I was feeling a little shaky!
Our first dive of the day helped to calm me down. Our guide, who ...
