We left the house and the cat on thursday 11th at 8.30am, which gave us time to buy souvenirs, go to Dive 7 seas to say good bye and spend our last minutes on the internet. There I received the adaptor of my tablet so I could charge it (It had died when I was on Lembongan and could never charge it since) but it didn't seem to be working. Then we had a drink, Fred met up with us, we had lunch, said good bye to Sandra who turned up 15 min before the boat and off w...

The next day, on wednesday 4th we took the ferry to Gili Air. I had heard good stuff about this island and Sandra was very much looking forward to going back there. We started by going to Dive 7 seas, where she did her DM a few months ago, to say hi to her friends.

After settling in the homestay, we went ...

It was even more annoying when the security lady asked me my ticket so that I could get inside the airport. My ticket was in my phone....So I had to go to the Jetstar office to print my ticket. They had n...

It only took 30 minutes by jeepney and 2 hours by bus to get to Banaue.The town itself is not the nicest place in the Philippines.What people are here for, are the rice terraces listed at the UNESCO. As usual, the first thing I did as I came out of the bus was looking for a place to stay. I met Lizzie at the tourist information. She was on the bus with me, from Bontok and was also looking for a place to stay. The first homestay we did was dodgy without window a...
