We were dubious after leaving the regular rain in Sorsogon to go to our next islands of Samar and Leyte as they were close on the furthest on the east. We were right it was raining when we got there but we persude with our first destination of a little island off the northen tip called Dalupiri. After some locals trying to rip us off and charge us 1500 pesos we managed to get the local boat crossing for only 45 each !
There was some blue sky as we crossed and landed on the tiny village island and went staright to a lovely local beach where they had little huts on stilts meters from the blue waters edge. I thknk we were the only guests there probably because it was still the rainy season here which we realised a bit late. We walked around and were met with smiles from all, kids waving and a few small shops, it was great. It then had another sudden downpour and we got soaked
We still enjoyed our short time here, the next morning the sun was out and we made our own breakfast on the little tables on the beach, fresh mangoes and peanut butter which was becoming our main lunch diet. One afternoon we came back to the hut only to find a rat runningpast our bags and straight up into the roof !.. we also had large geckos making the weird sound almost like calling gecko gecko, I liked it but it was so close it freaked Fran out a bit LOL.
One night it the resort filled with locals drinking and kids playing, It was the weekend and I guess the only place to go. Apart from the usual awful videoke these people are addicted too, and they all think they can sing even when they sound like a seal being battered with asthma. But we managed to get the giggles listening to one while eating and had to leave the restaurant LOL. after 2 nights we headed off south.
After constant downpours we decided to completely cut Samar and Leyte off our itinery and head straight for the island of Cebu.
