Hoping for some sun this morning to chill out by the pool before we head up to Cebu. We slept super well and I think it’s because we didn’t hear any roosters!! Not one rooster for the last two days!! It’s been fantastic! Plus the beds were to die for so that helped I’m sure! We chilled by the pool for a little while, had some breakfast and showered and checked out around 11.30am. Waited out front of the hotel for a bus to drive passed and jumped on ...

Yuk! 5.45am wake up call for our day today! 6am tricycle ride to the whale shark encounter, I knew it would be busy but genuinely never ever expected this place to be so busy full of Filipinos and Chinese tourists. Honestly if you took all of them out of the equation you’d probably have about 40 tourists here. We waited for about 3 hours before it was our turn to go out into the little ten person canoes about 25 metres out from the shore to float about the w...

Slept much better on a wine head last night! We both woke up absolutely freezing from the air con though... you can’t win! It was still raining at 4am when we were tossing and turning because of the 10,000 roosters all cook-a-doodle-Doing at the same time. A very brief freezing cold shower before our 5am car down to Tagbilaran (not sure why they wanted us to leave so early, it only takes 30 minutes to get there). We got there super early at the ferry stat...

Super looking forward to getting up and gone again today, if I stay any longer I may be charged for animal cruelty. Absolutely unbelievable at how much those animals make a racket. Ridiculous!! Easy Peacy catching a bus to loboc. Simply wait on the side of the road in the burning sun for the next bus to whizz by and hold your arm out to hitch hike it. They go passed every 20 minutes. We waited only about 15 minutes and the bus wasn’t busy, we had three seats ...

Slept about three hours again last night, not a great kip I have to be honest. Bloody boiling with just the fan and the roosters and pack of dogs were way too noisy! Ellie slept like a baby as usual. We were up and out by 8.30am, we were going to walk everywhere today to hopefully wear ourselves out and be able to sleep more tonight. All the locals think we are mad to use our legs and not a tricycle though. Still asking us if we want a ride and waving at us f...
