Small La Laguna
We visited Small La Laguna many years ago (10?). We still have fond memories of it, and the best snorkeling we've ever done! Including Great Barrier and Belize. Maybe we went to the wrong places in Aus. and Belize, but this area was just so untouched at the time and the coral and fish-life stunning. We also have fond memories of dinners at the "Full Moon Cafe" looking out over the ocean, and the cook bringing our fish right out the sea.... is it still as wonderful?
Hi! Glad you made it out okay of Puerto Galera. I know how scary it can be sometimes riding a barely breathing outrigger with big waves attacking you. Been there, done that. Anyway, hope you enjoy the northern part of the Philippines! If the weather permits and the roads are good, try going to Sagada where you will be able to see hanging coffins and good caves to go spelunking, Banuae also, where the Rice Terraces are.
Your Breakfast Hi,
Glad you had a good time in Singapore and your entry is really fun to read!
I would like to suggest you try some local breakfast at a coffeeshop. My guess is you are staying around Bencoolen Street. There are quite a number of Indian coffee shops around. Try the Roti Prata for a start.
Hope to see you guys in Singapore again :)

Cost Ok sorry if this is too vague...basically you can find clean but minimal guesthouse rooms with ensuite bathrooms from 300 BAHT. (I'm sure that increases on the islands but we didn't travel much in the South) Midrange places are fantastic, for 1,000 BAHT you can have it all and then some. Food is cheap...we could eat all our meals on the equivalent of USD15 a day and that was allowing a few treats and a little Western food. Transport is really cheap. In fact in general we found Thailand to be cheaper than the rest of Indo-China and also better value for money. One exception, books, they cost us a fortune; you easily pay 7/8 USD for a second-hand or even a copied book. Bring all you want to read.
Fab Have really enjoyed these. Can you include aprox price in some things guest houses etc it would be helpful. Keep safe will be with you. Heading out to Thailand on 21st December
the exfoliating river beds of the Mekong tributaries couldn't help but laugh at your river trip. I just wrapped up a similar experience here in Luang Prabang. Of course being a crazy American I also loved getting dumped. (My feet say otherwise.) Continue to enjoy1
reading with envy! Hi Amy! (and Ed of course!),
am really enjoying reading the blog. I check in regularly and can't wait to hear about Vietnam - it has been on my 'must visit' list for some time. All well here. Holly getting bigger and bolder by the day!!
Enjoy, enjoy,
Claire.
You must be following us Ed brian sent on your blog, its very good and very entertaining. We are on the same trip as yourselves. We arrived in India on the 30th of June and were in rajastan for two weeks before agra and varanasi. We then headed up north to the himalayas before a few days in mumbai before we left for thailand on the 11th of August. We are west of Bangkok in the town famous for the bridge over the river kwoi. Its very good and i would recommend a day trip to the waterfalls in the national park, bamboo rafting, elephant ride also. Go to apples and noi if you are there very very nice
Yebo Yo Yo Yo! Greetings from Swaziland. The travel blog is class, although i'm glad to hear you got Delhi Belly, you seem to be enjoying yourself too much, haven't seen any pictures of you smoking Ganj on the banks of the Ganjees (spelling might be a bit ropey here), will be very disappointed if you arrive home without a beard and beads.

Indiana Hi Ed and Amy,
Really enjoying reading about your travels. It's bringing back a lot of memories. The entry about the camels was very funny. They’re temperamental things alright, they can go a fair pelt when they want to.
Ed, I hear you’re suffering a bit from Delhi belly at the moment. Hope you’re on the path to recovery.
So, is Bangkok the next city? Looking forward to reading about more adventures.
All the best,
Brian.
Amy in Sari Would you look at your one in the Sari, you're a right little Indira!!! Maybe if Ed gets the old Delhi Belly, he'll start to look like Mahatma. I wouldn't pose for anymore Di photos if I was you, she came to a sticky end. Reading your account leads me to believe this India place is a lot like Ballinadee.... mind you I never met anyone that liked India! Remember auntie says keep in by the wall and mind the elephants.
lol, Caroline
