Feeling much better after a half decent nights sleep, we headed to the French cafe with great wifi. As the weather was pretty awful, and matt wasn't feeling 100%, I decided to do my first fun dive! I had a look around a couple of places and was recommended one along the beach front. I was only keen on doing two dives as apposed to the normal 3 as I wasn't sure how I would be. It was approximately £50 to do the two so I booked on. Our first dive was at South En...

As the sun was still shining, we hired a moped for the day at 500 pesos, that was the cheapest we could find! We packed up a dry bag (that I purchased the day before), grabbed a mango lassi (I'm obsessed with Filipino mangos) and headed off! Matt is a great driver, but as we had previously had a little tumble off the moped in Bohol, I was a little nervous on the back. Although we were only going about 5 miles an hour at the time, and we were both absolutely fine,...

The majority of the day was spent travelling in the minivan on the 6 hour drive to El Nido. In fairness, it had only cost us 450 pesos each after a bit of bartering, which we thought was pretty good! The van was spacious with great air con so I sat and watched nearly 5 episodes of the Kardashians for the duration of the drive. I did stop to gaze out of the window from time to time, but staring at the gorgeous sunshine and not being out in it when we had just spen...

Our last morning in Panglao island and Bohol before heading to Palawan. The sun was shining which was a change from what we had experienced the past week! Just typical! We said our goodbyes to the gang at Bohemian Hostel, and I gave the girls some of the clothes and shoes I didn't need, they seemed over the moon! Our first flight to Manila from Tagbilaran was only an hour but it was far from smooth! The plane was all over the place and I was scared half to deat...

I had always wanted to complete a scuba diving course but as the course takes 4 days, being in one place for more than that length of time and being willing to dedicate 4 out of my 7 day holiday had been difficult, but now was the perfect time! I had researched Philippines Fun Divers online and the company had great reviews with a 5 star resort rating from PADI also. Matthew was keen to complete the course but had developed an ear infection so wasn't able to. He ...
