Apo Island 28th May - 30th May (Day 85 - 87) We took the bus back in the direction of Dumaguete for around 6 hours and got off in a small village before getting on another boat to take us to the resort on Apo Island. Apo is a tiny island surrounded by coral and great diving spots , located to the South of Negros. The island itself it very picturesque and we were blessed with fantastic weather whilst we were there. Our room was very small for 4 people bu...

Sipalay (Sugar Beach) 25th May - 27th May (Day 82 - 84) After visiting Dumaguete we took a local bus south around the Negros coast road. The journey took about 7 hours, although this included a 2 hour stop for lunch.

The best aspect of the journey were the views from the bus as the coast road took us throu...

Cebu City 20th May - 21st May (Day 77 - 78) Hi all, hope you are well. After a super chilled week of sun, sand and cheese/peanut butter sandwiches we left Phuket and headed for Cebu in the Philippines on a trip that would take us via Bangkok and Manila. The trip took about 24 hours in all and apart from not sleeping for 30 hours was relatively drama free. Once we had arrived in Cebu we checked into a cheap hotel in a pretty rough area of town near the docks an...
