After writing my last blog entry, I then spent the evening trying to make a decision on where to go next :/ Leyte was my first choice, because the diving around Padre Burgos is supposed to be pretty good. But it's a bit of a shhhleck! So, when I awoke the following morning ,wednesday March 7th...I headed to the ferry port, still undecided!! Bohol it is!!! A little gutted I hadn't left enough time for Leyte, next time eh!! It's a short 2hr ferry ride to Tagbila...

Well, it's been raining on and off 4 days in a row...so really I have no excuse not to start my travel blog!!! If I start babbling on, I won't be offended if you just skip this part & look at the photo's ;) So, obviously I arrived safely in one piece the Philippines!!
