Ja, da var dagene i Filippinene talte...allerede! Tiden gaar saa fort! I hvertfall naar man bruker 80% av tiden til aa komme seg fra a til b (hadde vaert ok hvis man faktisk var PAA VEI, men naar man sitter mest stille og venter paa at bussen skal bli full foerman kjoerer...kremt...). Siden sist har jeg vaert i en by kalt Tagbilaran, paa oeyen Bohol. Dette er hjemmet til de beroemte "chockolate Hills" Navnet kommer av at de 1268 toppene ser ut til aa vaere dekket av sjokolade, sent paa sommeren, da gresset blir brunt. Det var et fantastisk syn, dog gresset var fortsatt groent noen steder, og fikk meg til aa tenke mer paa en muggen kvikklunsj, enn en deilig melkesjokoladerull... Bohol er ogsaa hjemmet til verdens nydeligste lille skapninger, kalt Tarsier. Du har sikkert ... read more

Hello everyone! We have now left China, ended with a few days in Hong Kong, seeing the wonderful sights of The Harbour and absorbing the views from Victoria Peak. We enjoyed our stay as we hadn't see Western people and had such a choice of Western food for such a long time! This blog does needed updating! Time to move on we decided to chance a flight to Vietnam, to continue our travels down Asia, and went to the airport in hope of a bargain. We did manage to get a flight but unfortunately we hadn't applied for a visa, as we thought we could do this upon entry. So we got our refund and stood analysing the Departures board with our South East Aisa Lonely Planet in hand to check out visa requirements. It came ... read more

Philippines (part two) After a few nights in Dumaguette, we jumped on a boat then bus up to Moalboal and checked into Pacitas, home of the legendary Saturday night disco. Marie was delighted to see that we had arrived on the night that the disco was holding the ‘Pacitas Bikini Open 2006.’ This started quite tame with girls walking around onstage in bikinis - then, came the ‘individual show-down round.’ Contestant number 1 came out with a 1 litre bottle of Red Horse and proceeded to pour this over herself whilst dancing around on top of tables. Andy and Fraser thought this was a waste of a particularly good beer. Marie loved it though. After Moalboal, we headed to Cebu City for a night out. Fraser got food poisoining from a dodgy buffet that cost about ... read more
