Kieren joins us today! Gabbi and I awoke after a surprisingly pleasant airport sleep. We checked in our bags and went through to have some food for breakfast, ham and cheese pittas. Once aboard our flight we slept most of it, it was another diddy plane, all the internal ones seem to be. Arriving in Boracay Gabbi and I had to wait for around an hour for kierens flight to get in, he was originally supposed to arrive before us, but his flight was cancelled and he ...

Today was a good day, Gabbi and I went to see the chocolate hills and tarsier monkeys. We started early to get the bus as we needed to be back in the city in plenty of time for our ferry back to Cebu. We got a tricycle to the local bus station and we were in luck as when we arrived the bus conductor asked us where we were going and told us to get on the bus that had started to leave, perfect timing. It was an extremely pleasant journey through the hills and win...

Today is fight day, Pacquiao vs Mayweather. A massive fight for the world, and the Philippines. Pacquiao is like their hero, even the lonely planet says so.

Every jeepney that went past was ful...

Once back at the hostel we organised our boat over to Bohol. We took a taxi and to the ferry port and were duly informed that tickets for economy and tourist were sold out, wit...

I woke up at 9 for my free breakfast, I have quite a soft spot for mango jam apparently so I had a slice of toast with that on, and a slice of toast with peanut butter and banana on, an old favourite of mine. I then went back to bed. A couple of hours later I awoke again and packed as check out was at 12. We then made our way to the bar/restaurant we had late night beers at the night previously. The restaurant was amusing, they got 1 out of 6 orders correct and...
