Today we were treated to an amazing breakfast by Alex and his family: fried banana and then to follow was fish, rice and salad - to much food but very delicious. Philippine culture is all about food and they claim to eat very basic but compared to back home they cook and put a great amount of effort in to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Alex dropped myself and Lorenzo at the bus station and we caught a local bus out to the Chocolate Hills - what a mission 2 hours o...

Today I am off to Bohol to check out the Chocolate Hills and Asia's smallest primate the Tarsier. My ferry is at 12:30pm and takes about 5 hours so I am hoping for calm seas. Kim had some lawyer friends that had just moved house so before going to the ferry we went and visited them at their new place.

He showed me the basics and explained in depth how the sys...

My flight arrived in to Clark at 12:45am and just as I got off the plane I was struck with more stomach cramps followed by the sudden onset of the s***s! I was out of the airport in minutes but unfortunately there was nowhere really to sleep. I found a little corner with three seats near the mini mart that I stretched out over and tried to get some sleep. There was a lot of noise but I did manage a few hours sleep. Up at 6am I had some breakfast and then starte...
