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...

Looks like I’ve been punched in the eyes this morning so bloody tired... the 5.45am wake up call and the 6am shuttle down the road to the airport was way too early!! Everything smooth as usual for a domestic check in, never seems to amaze me as to how much luggage these Filipinos travel with they have luggage trolleys full with at least 3 big bags each it’s crazy! What are they possibly carrying, their entire life? We were boarded and on the runway by 8am ...

Lazy morning getting up and ready to check out, we weren’t getting the shuttle until 12.30pm today back down to Puerto princessa so we chilled out on the futons upstairs in the hostel, the weather was lovely until it absolutely belted it down with rain for about an hour just in time for us to load the van up and leave... they’ve had more rain in the last five days we have been here than monsoon season I’m sure of it, al because of this damn typhoon that’...
