Thursday, May 1, 2014. Philippines Day 20: Legazpi - Manila. Of course, we were brought to the airport by our driver for the last days. We had a great time in and around Legazpi thanks to his services, but now it was time to leave for Manila. We had booked a flight with Cebu Pacific. At 930 am and it took just about one hour to get back to Manila. When we arrived at the domestic airport in Manila I used the opportunity to change my flight with Philippine Airlines. The Stylistic Mr. Lee. Philippines Day 2...

Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Philippines Day 19: No Whale Sharks in Donsol. We had to wake up early to leave Legazpi for a day trip to Donsol. We left at 6.30 am with our reliable driver, whose cab we had booked for the third consecutive day. It was a 1,5-hour-drive until we reached Donsol. The main reason to go to Donsol is the waters in front of the village. Actually what's inside the water: Whale Sharks. Well, when you have. The Stylistic Mr. Lee. Tuesday, April 29, 2014.

The Wayward Wanderer: Philippines Day 38-43: Puerto Princesa

http://metro-nomad.blogspot.com/2014/05/philippines-day-38-43.html

Saturday, May 24, 2014. Philippines Day 38-43: Puerto Princesa. I've spent the remaining days meeting with family and friends and basically just enjoying life in the city. Unfortunately, my pesky cough haven't been gone even after taking a lot of medicines. It was really annoying at times esp. at night or at dawn. So I mostly stayed back at my sisters place not really meeting anyone. But I've been a couple more times with my minions at our favorite restaurant, Kinabuch. South of the city proper. Later th...

http://metro-nomad.blogspot.com/2014/05/philippines-manila-palawan.html

Sunday, May 4, 2014. Philippines Day 23: Manila-Palawan. My original plan was to visit my cousin and her family in Nueva Ecija for a few days, but I've rebooked my flight to Puerto Princesa a few days earlier because I wanted and needed a rest so bad. I haven't recovered entirely from the flu and was still coughing so bad in spite of all the medicines I've been taking. I went early to the domestic airport to catch my flight with Philippine Airlines. I felt so relieved when we landed in Puerto Princesa, t...

We decided for the more centrally located. The Little Book Of The Icelanders. Meaning the piece in.

The Wayward Wanderer: Philippines Day 34-37: Araceli

http://metro-nomad.blogspot.com/2014/05/philippines-day-34-37-araceli.html

Sunday, May 18, 2014. Philippines Day 34-37: Araceli. In the mornings, my nephews usually enjoyed playing basketball at the court next to the town hall, while we charge our batteries - because it's the only place with electricity in the morning. The town of Araceli is relatively small, with around 14,000 population and roughly 205 km². Land area. It is pretty much laid back and quiet. One evening we enjoyed a local delicacy for dinner: Sandworms (. It was indeed an experience in itself. Not only my nephe...

Thursday, May 8, 2014. Philippines Day 27: Sabang. On our last day in Sabang, we just enjoyed the beach and the beautiful village. Before we had to go back to Puerto Princesa the next day. We walked towards the entrance to the national park on the east side, past the pier, the rows of fine resorts in the area and the mangrove forest onto the beach area. There, we just enjoyed the beach with only us around and from time to time, there come people passing by to do zip-lining. The Stylistic Mr. Lee. Philipp...
